Taking Blood Pressure Measurements - Microlife WatchBP O3 Instruction Manual

Taking blood pressure measurements in «CASUAL» mode
In «CASUAL» mode, the device functions like a regular
blood pressure monitor – single measurements are
automatically stored and can be reviewed at a later
stage. The casual mode can be used to perform a single
blood pressure measurement to test if the device is
functioning properly. Do not forget to put the device back
in «Ambulator» mode before sending away the patient for
24-hour blood pressure measurement.
