Taking A Blood Pressure Measurement; Forty-Eight Measurement Memory - Samsung BW-325S Owner's Manual

Taking a Blood Pressure
Measurement
Once the cuff is properly applied and you are seated with your
•
feet flat on the floor you are ready to take a measurement.
To take a measurement, press
•
"START/STOP" button.
The monitor will automatically inflate to
195mmHg. If the monitor senses you
require a higher inflation level, it will
automatically increase the air pressure
to the level that' s right for you.
You will feel the cuff get tighter around your wrist - this is
•
normal. It should not inflate to the point of discomfort. If this
occurs, the cuff is secured too tightly. Press the "START/STOP"
button to stop inflation and rewrap the cuff leaving more room
between your wrist and the cuff.
Numbers will appear on the digital display.
•
This is the normal process the monitor goes
through to determine your blood pressure.
Don't be alarmed if you notice the numbers
quickly change, or go higher than you
believe your blood pressure to be.

Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement

Taking a Blood Pressure
Measurement
When your measurement is complete, the monitor will deflate
•
automatically, releasing the air pressure in the cuff.
The entire measurement process should
•
take less than a minute. Once measurement
is complete your blood pressure and pulse
measurements will be displayed.
Forty-Eight Measurement
Memory
When you take a measurement the monitor automatically
stores it in memory space number one. As you continue to take
measurements, the monitor will push the previous measurement
back one space. In other words, the value in space one will always
be the most recent blood pressure measurement taken. Your mon-
itor will store up to 48 measurements. To review measurement in
the memory, depress the "MEMORY" button. Continue pressing
"MEMORY" to review all 48 of your last blood pressure measure-
ments.
