Measurement Procedure - Nissei DSK-1031 Instruction Manual

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT! The device has touch-sensitive buttons that
are pressed by slight touching. Moisture, dirt and extraneous
objects between the fi nger and the device panel can aff ect
the ability of buttons to respond to touching.
1. Insert the Air Tube Plug into the Cuff Jack.
Before measurement, take a few breaths and relax. During the
measurement, do not talk and do not move.
2. Press the START/STOP button. The defl ating symbol « » will
fl ash on the display, and the device will release the remaining air
from the cuff (Fig. 12).
3. Beep will be heard, and air will be pumped into the cuff .
The symbol « » will fl ash, and the displayed value will
increase (Fig. 13). Infl ation will stop at optimum level owing
to the Fuzzy Infl ation algorithm.
4. The symbol « » will disappear, and the measurement will
start. The cuff pressure will decrease slowly.
Noise Interference Detection
This device detects the presence of extraneous sounds or noises that can af-
fect the measurement results. When such interference is detected, the symbol «
appears on the display. In this case, it is recommended to repeat the measurement to
eliminate the interference.
Control of Correct Fixing the Cuff
The symbol « » indicates that the cuff is applied
correctly, the symbol « » indicates that the cuff is fastened
too tight or too loose. In this case, it is recommended to repeat
the measurement after proper fi xing the cuff .
Press the START/STOP button to stop forcedly the measure-
ment: the device will stop infl ation and quickly release the air.
Automatic Additional Infl ation.
If on starting the measurement, the operating pressure appears to be insuffi cient due to
hand movements or due to excessive tension in a hand, the cuff will be fi lled with air again
to the level of about 30 mm Hg higher than the original level. Automatic additional infl ation
will be repeated until the measurement is completed successfully. This is not a malfunction.
5. The symbol «» will start fl ashing synchro-
nously with a sound signal, as soon as the
sensor catches the pulse pressure (Fig. 14).

6. When the measurement is completed, the
display will show the values of blood pressure,
pulse pressure, WHO scale and heart rate (Fig.
15). The device will automatically release the
air from the cuff .
7. Press the button or
will remain in the selected memory unit.
8. Press the START/STOP button to turn off

the device.
If you forget to turn off the device, it will do so automatically after 3 minutes.
Indication of Reliability
».
Important aspects in measuring the blood pressure imply the correct
application of the cuff and proper posture during the measurement. These aspects
may infl uence the measurement result. The device displays the symbol «
the measurement procedure is carried out properly. If this symbol is not displayed,
it is recommended to repeat the measurement observing the guidelines for proper
measurement described in this manual.
Do not perform several measurements in a row.
This will cause numbing the hand and can aff ect the measurement result. Give your
hand a break for at least 5 minutes.
