Measurement Procedure - Microlife BP 3AX1 Instruction Manual

5.5. Measurement Procedure

After the cuff and arm have been appropriately positioned and the
measurement mode is set, the measurement can be taken as follows.
Press the O/I button. The Microlife Welcome screen appears, and
is followed by a screen which shows you how to properly hold your
arms. If the display off function is enabled, the Sleep Mode screen
appears for two seconds before measurements are taken.
The pump begins to inflate the cuff.
And the increasing cuff pressure is
displayed.
After the suitable inflation pressure
has been reached, the pump stops, the
measurement signals are displayed and
the heart icon flashes.
This curve shows each heart beat activity,
Movement artefacts would become visible
by large deviations within the curve.
A long beep sounds when the measurement has been
completed. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse
rate appear in the display.
The measurement reading remains on the display for
approximately 30 seconds. If no button is pressed during the
30-second period the instrument switches itself off in order to
preserve the batteries.
When the unit is set to Average (MAM) Mode, three separate
measurements take place as explained under 5.4.
