Taking Measurement In Manual Mode - Microlife WatchBP Office Instruction Manual

Taking measurement in MANUAL Mode

Select the MANUAL Mode if auscultatory blood pressure measurement is preferred above
oscillometric blood pressure measurement. In MANUAL Mode, the device serves as a
pressure gauge. No oscillometric measurements will be taken. Systolic and diastolic Korotkoff
sounds amust be determined by a stethoscope placed over the brachial artery.
Start inflation – Press the
pressure is reached, the device will automatically begin a linear deflation at a rate of 3 mmHg/
sec as is recommended by the guidelines.
Assess the Korotkoff K1 and K5 sound – when pushing the
deflation the cuff pressure at the time of pushing is temporarily stored so that the systolic (K1)
and diastolic (K5) pressures can be seen afterwards. The device can store up to 4 pressures.
Push the button at any time to start fast deflation and finish the measurement of MANUAL
mode and show the pressure you have marked. Alternatively, the device quickly deflates and
shows the pressures after having pushed the button 4 times, or the cuff pressure has reached
20mmHg during the deflation cycle.
After the measurement in MANUAL mode, the device displays all marked cuff pressures for
one minute.
Re-inflate – Push and Hold the Up
button is held up to a max of 299mmHg. Release the button to continue deflation. Exceeding
299 mmHg will result in an immediate release of cuff pressure and a 'HI' Error message.
Deflate faster – Push and hold the
cuff faster, at around 8 -12 mmHg/second.
*
The recommended deflation rate for auscultation is 2-3 mmHg per seconds. Do not assess K1 or K5 sound while holding the M
button.

If Hide of the MANUAL mode is selected, the cuff pressure during deflating the cuff will not be displayed. The display shows '---'
during deflating the cuff
button to start cuff inflation. When the maximum inflation
