Sencor SBP 901 - Performing a Measurement

Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Cuff
SBP 901
2 Attaching and securing the cuff
Remove all tight clothing from the arm before attaching the cuff.
e Attach the cuff 2-3 cm above the elbow cavity and ensure that the air hose is located above the
brachial artery, as illustrated on the cuff label.
e The cuff must not be too loose or too tight. Verify the correct tightness by easily inserting one
finger between the cuff and the arm.
° Place the forearm on an even table surface
° Note: Blood pressure can be measured both on the left and the right arm. However, the measure-
ment results from the left and right arm may differ, and for this reason it is necessary to perform
repeated measurements always on the same arm.
3.3 Measuring blood pressure
3.3.1 Turn on the device by pressing the START/STOP button. In a short time all the elements will light
up on the LCD display.
3.3.2 If residual air remains іп the cuff, the symbol У will appear оп the display for a short time and the
air will be released. The value OmmHg (or kPa) and the time of measurement will appear оп the
display.
3.3.3 The device will automatically pressurise the cuff. While the cuff is being pressurised the pulse rate
is detected. This is indicated by the flashing Q& symbol on the LCD display.
3.3.4 Then the pressure in the cuff is continuously released and the values of the systolic (SYS) and di-
astolic (DIA) pressure, pulse rate and the blood pressure are automatically determined. The blood
pressure categories are defined in the following table.

Note: If the symbol Ñ appears on the display, the device has detected an arm movement during
measurement. Wait 4-5 minutes and repeat the measurement. If the symbol DH appears on the
