Your blood pressure is measured during inflation, so it is important not to move. Sit still and do not move your wrist! Do not talk! Do not touch the monitor while it is measu- ring.

The monitor automatically inflates the cuff and the

measurement is taken within approx. 30 seconds.

Once the arrow appears in the display the measurement is finished and deflation of the cuff takes place.

After this the systolic and diastolic blood pressure is shown, with the pulse reading. This reading will be stored in the memory.

Wrist blood pressure is measured at the different region from the usual bra- chial blood pressure measurement and may show a slightly different value. In many cases, the difference between the wrist and the brachial blood pressures can be up to ± 10 mmHg both for the systolic and the diastolic pressures for healthy people.

Should you forget to turn off the power, it will turn itself off automatically after 2 minutes. The previous reading will remain in the memory even if the batteries run down or are replaced.

If you wish to repeat the measurement, you should remove the cuff for at least 3 minutes because if you take the next measurement immediatly, a slight blood congestion may occur which can lead to incorrect measure- ments or an error message.

Keep a record of your measurements. In this way both you and your doctor will have an accurate overview of your blood pressure situation.
