Taking a Reading
Note:
Remain still while taking measurement.
1. Press the air release button to release any air in the arm cuff,
then press the I/O button to turn the unit on.
Note:
If the deflation symbol does not disappear soon, press the air release button to release any air in the arm cuff.
2. Pump the inflation bulb to inflate the arm cuff.
1) Inflate the cuff until it is 30 to 40 mmHg above your expected
systolic blood pressure value.
ex) If your expected blood pressure is around 140mmHg, inflate the arm
cuff to between 170 and 180 mmHg. Inflate the cuff rapidly so that the
pressure is reached in about five seconds.
2) When the desired pressure has been achieved, release the inflation bulb.
Notes:
• If the reinflation symbol ( ) appears, squeeze the inflation bulb to re-inflate the arm cuff.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff more than necessary.
