Using your Blood Pressure Monitor There are 4 pre-programmed pressurisation values which are set at 187mmHg, 225mmHg, 263mmHg and 300mmHg. When automatic inflation begins, the unit will inflate to 187mmHg. If a pulse is not detected, the unit will continue to inflate automatically to the next pressurisation level. This will continue to a maximum level of 300mmHg.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor What the results mean a. The LCD screen will automatically display the systolic and diastolic pressure reading in mmHg and the pulse rate in pulse/min after each measurement. b.
