Measuring Procedure; Discontinuing A Measurement - Microlife Premier Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Instruction Manual

5.5. Measuring procedure

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can
begin:
a) Press the ON/OFF (I/0) button. The display will show many icons
followed by 3 beeps indicating "ready to measure."
b) Press the START button. The pump begins to inflate the cuff. The
rising pressure in the cuff is shown in the display of your monitor.
c) After a suitable inflation pressure has been reached, the pump
stops and the pressure gradually falls. The cuff pressures are
displayed. If the inflation pressure is not sufficient, the monitor
automatically re-inflates.
d) When the instrument detects a pulse, the heart symbol in the
display starts to flash and a beep is heard for every heartbeat.
e) A long beep is sounded when the measurement is complete. The
systolic, and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate now appear
in the display.
f) The measurement reading remains on the display until you switch
off the instrument. If no button is pressed for a period of 5 minutes
the instrument switches itself off in order to
preserve the batteries.
g) When the unit is set to the Average Mode setting,
3 separate measurements will take place in succession after
which your result is calculated. There is a 45 second resting
time in-between each measurement. A count down indicates the
remaining time and a beep will sound 5 seconds before the 2nd
and 3rd readings will begin.
If one of the measurements causes an error message, it will
be repeated one more time. If any additional error occurs, the
measurement will be discontinued and error code displayed.

5.6. Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any
reason (e.g. the patient feels unwell), the ON/OFF (0/I) button can
be pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff
pressure automatically.
