Selecting the 3MAM measuring method
With the MTP Pro, you can choose between two measuring modes.
• Single reading
• 3 consecutive readings ( Measurement Average Mode = 3/MAM-mode
In the case of a single reading, just one blood pressure reading is taken and
stored.
The 3/MAM-mode is to be recommended if you suffer from severely fluctu-
ating blood pressure. 3 successive readings are taken at 15 second intervals,
thus eliminating widely varying readings. In the case of serious deviations,
a 4th reading may be taken.
From these three measurements, a weighted average value is calculated,
displayed and stored in the selected memory. A reading taken in this way is
indicated in the memory by an
The 3/MAM procedure greatly minimizes the risk of an incorrect reading.
1. To switch between single measurement and 3 consecutive measurements
(3MAM procedure), press and hold the TIMER button
for 3MAM mode

3. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by
releasing the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the current
pressure in the cuff.
4. Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. The pulse symbol
appears on the display. As soon as the pulse can be determined, defla-
tion is synchronised with the beating of the heart until the measurement
ends. The device beeps for each heartbeat during this procedure, if you did
not switch off the beep function beforehand. At the same time, the pulse
symbol flashes.
5. The first measurement ends when the pressure has been completely dis-
charged from the sleeve during a 15 second countdown. The countdown
symbol flashes during this process. Beeps sound during the last 5
