Lumiscope 1100 - Manual (Page 6)

Taking a Measurement
1. Press the POWER button. All displays will appear for approximately one second
before returning to “0”. If the downward arrow “ “ flashes, there is air
remaining in the cuff. Release it by pressing the “Air Release Valve” until “0”
appears on display.
The unit is ready for measurement at this point.
2. Pump the bulb to increase pressure in the arm cuff. The display will
show the pressure reading within the cuff. Continue pumping until
the pressure reaches approximately 50~60 mmHg above your
normal systolic pressure. Three short beeps will be heard if you
pump the pressure to 170 mmHg, to remind you to stop.
If the cuff pressure is not enough, an upward arrow
( ) will display and two short beeps will be heard
to remind you that you should continue pumping.
3. Sit still and wait for the monitor to deflate and
measure your blood pressure. It is important to
remain still and quiet during measurement. Any
significant movement may affect measurement results.
4. Upon completion of the measurement cycle, the monitor will
display systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings and the unit will
make a long beep. Measurement is now complete, and the
reading is automatically stored in the monitor. The display will
indicate a downward arrow ( ). Keep pressing the air release
valve above the bulb until all pressure in cuff is released.
5. Press the POWER button to turn off the power. If no button is
pressed, the unit will shut off automatically in
approximately one minute.
