4.3 Interrupting a measurement during the
recording
To interrupt a measurement, press either of the control buttons
during the measurement. This will deflate the cuff. An interrupted
measurement will be recorded with an error and will not be repeated.
The next measurement will take place according to the schedule.
4.4 Extended 48-Hour Recording
The patient must be instructed how to change the batteries for an
extended recording (see Changing the Batteries During a 48 Hr
Recording, page 38).
It is recommended that the patient receives two fully charged batteries
that can be used for replacement. These must be placed in a small
box or plastic bag to help prevent a short circuit of the battery. The
patient should return the spent batteries in the same container.
If the patient is old or in any way confused, consider asking the patient
to return to the surgery for battery replacement.
4.5 BR-102 plus PWA Unit Measurements
The BP measure interval, cuff application, and the start and stop
procedure are identical to the standard unit. However, after every
individual measurement, the cuff is again inflated to the diastolic
pressure and held at that pressure for 10 seconds while PWA data is
obtained. After 10 seconds the cuff is again deflated and ready for the
next programmed measurement.
Every extra measurement or interrupted measurement should be
entered in the patient diary together with the time, reason, activities
being undertaken at the time of occurrence, and the symptoms.
The template for the patient diary is stored on the software CD as a
Word file and as a pdf file. An example is given at the end of the book.
