Caution
Make sure the cuff is wrapped in the correct arm position and is at the same height as the heart.
A difference of 4 inches (10 cm) in height may cause a variation in the blood pressure value of up to 7 - 8 mmHg.
Note:
•If measurement is difficult due to arrhythmia, use a different blood pressure measurement method.
•If the patient has acute inflammation, a pyogenic ailment, or an external wound at the location where the cuff is to be wrapped, follow the instructions of the doctor.
•
-Wrap a thin towel or cloth (one layer) under the cuff.
If the towel or cloth is too thick, there will be insufficient cuff compression and the blood pressure value will measure high.
•If the patient moves or the cuff is touched, this may be falsely detected as a pulse and
•Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped on the upper arm. This may damage the cuff.
Taking the Measurement in "Manual Mode"
1. Press the [START/STOP] button.
Blood pressure measurement is performed once.
2. The measurement results are displayed.
If a measurement value is outside the corresponding range below, the value will flash. SYS: 59 mmHg or less, or 251 mmHg or higher.
DIA: 39 mmHg or less, or 201 mmHg or higher.
PULSE: 39 bpm or less, or 201 bpm or higher.

Caution
The accuracy of a flashing measurement value that is outside the measurement range is not guaranteed. Always check the patient's condition before deciding what steps to take.
Note:
If inflation is insufficient, inflation may restart while measurement is in progress.
