DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS Right after reaching the maximum pressure, all four (selected) cuffs will start deflating simultaneously at a controlled rate. At some point in the deflation phase the blood flow in toes will return and waveforms will re-establish. The very first returning waveform represents the point of systolic blood pressure in the toe.
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS 5.6 MULTIFUNCTIONAL BUTTONS 5.6.1 Even though control of most of the MESI TOE BLOOD PRESSURE LED INDICATORS UNIT and MESI TUBELESS CUFF UNIT functions is performed through the MESI mTABLET UNIT interface, there is still a multifunctional button on top of the devices. Next to the basic colour light notification functionalities of this button there is also a possibility to perform some additional operations.
