Pressurize the cuff by squeezing the rubber bulb. Squeeze and release the rubber bulb until the unit indicates a pressure 30 to 40 mmHg greater than your expected systolic blood pressure.
4.The automatic exhaust mechanism will gradually reducethe pressure in the cuff and the symbol V will appear.’ Also displayed will be the gradually decreasing I cuff pressure on the left, and the exhaust rate (mmHg/ set) on the right.
Initially, the exhaust rate may exceed 5 mmHg/sec, but should settle down to a range between 1 and 5 mmHg/sec. If the exhaust rate is consistently outside of this range, please call customer service at
Current pressure value Measurement mark (gradually being reduced)
Remain still during the measurement.
When a pulse is detected, the symbol V will blink in unison with the pulse of the person being monitored and the pressure display will switch to the right side.
Flashing | Current | pressure | value |
| (gradually | being | reduced) |
When the measurement has been completed, the systolic and diastolic pressures will be displayed. The display will alternate with the pulse rate display as shown below.
