Hartmann Veroval Compact BPU 22 Instructions For Use Manual page 13

Always take measurements at the same time of day. Only regular
measurements taken at the same time each day over a longer per-
iod of time give a meaningful assessment of blood pressure values.
Do not measure when you have a strong urge to urinate. A full
bladder can increase blood pressure by about 10 mmHg.
Do not take your blood pressure after taking a bath or playing sport.
Do not eat, drink or exercise for at least 30 minutes before the
measurement.
Please wait for at least one minute between two measurements.
Start a measurement only after applying the cuff. Press the START/
STOP button . The appearance of all display segments followed
by the time and date indicates that the device is carrying out its
self-test and is ready for use.
Check the display segments for completion (see Chapter 1).
After about 0,5 seconds the cuff will automatically inflate. If this
inflation pressure is insufficient or if the measurement is inter-
rupted, the device continues to pump in increments of 40 mmHg
until a high enough pressure is reached. During inflation, the
results indicator on the left also increases at the same time.
If the cuff has been applied securely enough on the arm, the cuff sym-
bol appears on the display. If the cuff symbol does not appear in
the display, the cuff has not been fitted securely enough and the error
message ' ' appears on the display after a few seconds.
Important: Please do not speak or move during the mea-
surement.
As the air pressure in the cuff decreases, the heart symbol
the dropping pressure in the cuff are shown on the display.
After the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure as well as the pulse rate (see Fig.) appear simultaneously.

In addition to the measured values, the time, date, the associated
user memory or
(e.g. ) appear. The measured value is automatically stored
M
in the displayed user memory. As long as the result of the mea-
surement is displayed, you can assign values to the corresponding
user memory by pressing the
them, the measured value is automatically stored in the displayed
user memory. You can use the results indicator on the left of the
display to classify your measurement result (see table in Chapter 3
