8. Automatic Deflate: After cuff inflation, leave the deflate trigger
in the closed (up) position. The petMAP’s internal electronic
valve will automatically deflate the cuff pressure in a series of
steps. The petMAP can be placed on the surface upon which
the animal is resting so that the operator has both hands to
pet and calm the animal during the determination. This will
minimize animal movement.
The user may view the display to follow the progress of the
readings. A good determination will appear as follows:
Please refer to the examples at the end of this section for
further information about interpreting the display. If the user
concludes that a determination is not progressing correctly
(i.e. too much motion artifact), the user may terminate the
reading by opening the deflate trigger. The user will then get
the following screen display:
Once the animal is calm, the user may initiate another reading
by closing the deflate trigger and squeezing the bulb.
