Taking A Measurement - Microlife BP3GQ1-3P Instruction Manual

Comment
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm,
it can also be placed on your right arm. However,
all measurements should be made using the same
arm.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always
require the same conditions (relax for several
minutes before a reading).

5.4. Taking a measurement

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned
the measurement can begin. Remain still during
your measurement, do not flex muscles.
a) Remain seated quietly for 5 minutes before you
begin the measurement.
b) Press the POWER button. After the system check,
the monitor displays OK and the pump begins to
inflate the cuff. On the display, the increasing
cuff pressure is continually shown.
c) After automatically reaching an individual
pressure, the pump stops and the pressure
slowly falls. The cuff pressure is displayed
during the measurement.
d) When the device has detected your pulse, the
heart symbol in the display begins to blink.
e) When the measurement has been concluded,
the air will automatically release from the cuff.
The measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values, as well as the pulse, are now
displayed.
f) The measurement results are displayed until
you switch the device off. If no button is
pressed for 1 minute, the device switches off
automatically.
