Taking Blood Pressure (Manual Mode)
When you want to take your patient's blood pressure using the auscultatory method with
a stethoscope, set the device to "MANUAL" mode.
Turn on the device by pressing " I " side of MAIN POWER SWITCH.
Move MODE SELECTOR upward and set the device to "MANUAL".
See page 13 for “AUTO” measurement.
Set the initial inflation value with PRESET PRESSURE KNOB.
Details on preset pressure … page 13.
Press SET/MEMORY button to confirm and/or select the
appropriate deflation rate.
The deflation rate is displayed at the lower right corner of the
segment display.
The deflation rate can be selected from 2.5, 4.5 and 6.5 mmHg\s.
The set deflation rate returns to the default value (2.5) when the
device is turned off.
Apply the cuff to patient's arm.
Choose the right size of cuff for
your patient. NOTE: Only these 3 cuffs
may be used in auto mode.
The lower edge of the cuff should be about 1” (2 to 3 cm)
above the inner elbow and BLADDER TUBE should be over the
inner part of the arm, positioning the ARTERY MARK of the
cuff over the brachial artery.
Press the surface of the cuff to make sure that the hook and
loop adhesive fastens securely.
The cuff should be wrapped loosely enough so that two fingers can be placed between
the cuff and patient's arm. If the cuff is wrapped tighter or looser than this,
inaccurate blood pressure readings may result.
If your patient is wearing a shirt that might restrict circulation in his/her upper arm or
he/she rolls his/her sleeve up over the upper arm, the blood flow will be restricted,
preventing accurate measurement.
ARM CIRCUMFERENCE CUFF SIZE
9.0 to 15.7 inches (23.0 to 40.0 cm) ADULT
13.3 to 19.6 inches (34.0 to 50.0 cm) LARGE ADULT
7.4 to 10.6 inches (19.0 to 27.0 cm) SMALL ADULT
Press START/STOP button.
The cuff is inflated automatically after zero settings.
Pressurization stops when pressure reaches the preset pressure value and
pressure starts to descend.
Heart mark flashes in the segment LCD synchronizing detected pulse.
Deflation rate is displayed at the lower right corner of the segment LCD.
Press START/STOP button whenever the measurement
should be interrupted.
The device will stop during any course of measurement
procedure and rapidly exhaust air from the cuff.
Air is rapidly exhausted from the cuff as
measurement completes.
Blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.
Turn off the device by pressing " O" side of MAIN POWER SWITCH.
The device will go to the energy saver mode after approximately
3 minutes if it is not turned off. See page 10.
Make sure your patient is relaxed, has taken at least 5 minutes of rest before measurement
and refrains from talking or moving during measurement.
Confirm that the cuff is kept at the height of patient's heart during measurement.
Do not execute repeated measurements for congestion of blood could result in false
measurement. Allow the patient's arm to rest for at least 5 minutes.
