First Audible Pulse
= Systole
Last
audible
Pulse
= Diastole
Example: 130 to 80 mmHg
●
As the pointer slowly returns, observe the first audible so-
unds from the stethoscope: At the first pulse you hear
(Korotkoff-Sound) read off the pointer position on the scale:
This is your upper blood pressure value (Systolic blood
pressure). Make a note of this value!
●
Listen to your heart beats while the pointer slowly moves
on. The sounds become weaker until they cease comple-
tely.
At the last audible tone again make a note of where the
pointer is positioned: this is your lower blood pressure value
(diastolic blood pressure).
●
With a short, firm pressure on the Air release button the
valve is then fully opened and the remainder of the air ex-
pelled from the cuff.
●
To take the cuff off again, simply pull open the velcro clo-
sure and pull it off your arm.
If you want to repeat the measurement, wait at least two minu-
tes by which time the blood circulation should be back to nor-
mal.
