  • Page 13 In the bottom right corner, the current cuff pressure is displayed while the cuff deflates. In case Korotkov sounds are detected within the first seconds, the METRONIK BL-6 will start the pump again and will further inflate the cuff to reach a peak pressure that is 30 mmHg above the preselected initial pressure value.

  • Page 14: Special Functions

    5.1 Special functions Measurement Mode: With METRONIK BL-6 there are three measurement modes: - normal: inflate, consistent deflation rate during measuring - fast: inflate, consistent deflation up to detecting systolic value, after the fourth pulse fast deflation to a predefined pressure value (standard value: 120mmHg), afterwards the diastolic value will be measured.
  • Page 15 Activated SENS is displayed by the word ‘SENS’. With this profile the sensitivity of the microphone amplifier will be increased. In sensitivity mode (SENS), the METRONIK BL-6 is considerably more susceptible to all kind of sounds that might occur during the application. Hence, even fairly quiet Korotkov sounds can be measured automatically.
