1.Display the pressure accuracy confirmation screen as explained in “Utility Mode” on page 17.
Display “0” in the pressure accuracy confirmation screen.
Display the pressure value.
2.Connect the blood pressure monitor, the calibrated reference pressure gauge, and the cuff and inflation bulb.
3.Check the pressure value of the blood pressure monitor and the pressure value of the calibrated reference pressure gauge.
Note:
•Make sure that the blood pressure monitor reading is within ±3 mmHg compared to the calibrated reference pressure gauge.
•To rapidly deflate the cuff, press the [] button.
