Note: the MAM Advantage Averaging mode icon will illuminate on the display. If you select 1,
then only one measurement will be taken. If you select 3, the unit will inflate and deflate three
times resulting in one final average reading.
Using MAM Advantage Averaging Mode
In MAM Advantage Averaging mode, three measurements are automatically taken in
succession and the result then automatically analyzed and displayed. Because your blood
pressure constantly fluctuates, a result determined in this way is more reliable than one
produced by a single measurement.
The bottom right-hand section of the display shows a 1,2, or 3 to indicate which of the 3
measurements is currently being taken.
There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements (15 seconds are adequate
according to “Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2001, 6:145-147” for oscillometric instruments). A
countdown indicates the remaining time before the second and third readings will begin.
The individual results from measurements 1,2 and 3 are not initially displayed. Your blood
pressure will only be displayed after all 3 measurements are taken. If you want to see each of
the individual readings making up a triplicate reading, turn the unit off, then press and hold the
«MEMORY» button for three seconds immediately after a MAM Advantage Averaging Mode
measurement. Note: You can only see the individual readings one time immediately following an
Averaging Mode measurement. See section XXX.
Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
If one of the individual measurements was questionable, an additional measurement is
automatically taken.
