Patient Instructions
Advise the patient on how to cope with mis-operation and contingencies.
Precautions during automatic measurement
Relax and be quiet, when the recorder starts inflating the cuff.
Maintain the same posture during measurement.
Avoid noises and vibrations during measurement.
After inflation, the recorder deflates the cuff and measures the patient's blood pressure. The
maximum measurement time is 90 seconds. Relax and be quiet during measurement.
If you move your body during measurement, the recorder may start inflation
during the deflation process for reevaluating the blood pressure.
If the recorder did not acquire usable data due to the patient’s body movement and the
frequency of the interval is 8 minutes or more, the recorder may start measurement again
approx. 30 seconds after measurement.. Do not move and try to relax during measurement.
Stop using the recorder, if the patient feels pain in the arm.
Stopping or canceling an automatic measurement
To stop the measurement, press the START STOP key. The recorder beeps,
releases the cuff air and an error is displayed. The recorder will inflate the cuff
for the next time period automatically.
To cancel automatic measurement, press and hold the AUTO ON/OFF for approx.
3 seconds. Automatic measurement is canceled and "A" turns off.
To restart automatic measurement after cancellation, press and hold the AUTO ON/OFF
for approx. 3 seconds. "A" appears and the recorder resumes measurement and
records data except the cancelled block.

Precautions for attaching the cuff and recorder
Do not drop or apply shock to the recorder.
The recorder and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and water from
wetting the recorder and cuff.
Do not place anything on the recorder.
Re-attach the cuff if the cuff is slipped from the proper position due to the
patient’s movement.
Use caution not to break the air hose or not to entangle around the patient's
neck or body during sleep. Attach the air hose to the patient's body only as
shown on page 27.
