CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY
4.Watch the display screen. As pressure automatically decreases, diastolic numbers should decline in increments of 2 to 5 mmHg.
If the exhaust velocity range is not within 2 to 5 mmHg, make the following adjustment with the unit turned off:
1.The adjustment screw is located on the exhaust valve attached to the inflator bulb. It is covered by a thin grey protection cap with a hole in the center. To remove and discard the cap (you do not need to replace it), insert the end of a paper clip and lift off to see the the gold adjustment screw underneath.
2.Using a small screwdriver, rotate the adjustment screw about 45 degrees clockwise (to raise the rate) or counterclockwise (to lower the rate).
NOTE: This adjustment is very sensitive.
Turn screw very gradually.
3. Repeat the test until the exhaust velocity is between 2 to 5 mmHg.
NOTE: Once the monitor is adjusted to a new cuff size, further adjust- ments should not be required unless cuff size is changed again.
