HOW THE UA-851ANT WORKS

A&D Medical blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.

The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation speed is maximized and the pressure level is optimized by the device. The monitor takes measurements while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in a faster measurement providing greater comfort to the user.

ABOUT CUFF INFLATION METER

The Cuff Inflation Meter is located on the left side of the display screen to tell you when the blood pressure monitor is inflating and deflating the cuff. The Cuff Inflation Meter moves up during inflation and moves down during deflation.
