To select standard mode, slide the MAM switch 7 on the side of the device
downwards to position «1» and to select MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to
position «3».
•
The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1 or 2 to indicated which of the
2 measurements is currently being taken.
•
There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements. A count down indicates
the remaining time. The circle icon 30 will go circle also during interval time.
• The individual results are not displayed. Your blood pressure will only be displayed
after all measurements are taken.
•
Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
•
If one of the individual measurements was questionable, an additional one is
automatically taken.
2. Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the measurement.
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recommended that doctors
perform double arm measurements on a patient first visit in order to determine
which arm to measure in the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should
be measured.
4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid constriction, shirt
sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not interfere with the cuff if they are laid
flat.
5. Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the cuff).
• Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
• Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.
• The artery mark located on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie over the artery
which runs down the inner side of the arm.
• Support your arm so it is relaxed.
• Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
