Select the measuring mode: standard or MAM mode

This instrument enables you to select either standard (standard

single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measure-

ment). To select standard mode, slide the MAM switch AK on the

side of the instrument downwards to position «1» and to select

MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to position «3».

MAM Mode

In MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in succes-

sion and the result is then automatically analysed and displayed.

Because the blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result deter-

mined in this way is more reliable than one produced by a single

measurement. AFIB detection is activated in MAM mode.

 After pressing the ON/OFF button 1, the selected MAM mode

appears in the display as the MAM-symbol BK.



The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to

indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently being taken.

 There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements

(15 seconds are adequate according to «Blood Pressure Moni-

toring, 2001, 6:145-147» for oscillometric instruments). A count

down indicates the remaining time and a beep will sound

5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings will begin.

 The individual results are not displayed. Your blood pressure

will only be displayed after all 3 measurements are taken.

 Do not remove the cuff between measurements.

 If one of the individual measurements was questionable, a

fourth one is automatically taken.

4. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this

Instrument

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the

measurement.

2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.

3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left).

4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid

constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not

interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.

5. Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the

cuff).

 Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

 Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.

 The artery mark located on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must

lie over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.

 Support your arm so it is relaxed.

 Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.

6. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.

7. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move

and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement

result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.

8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the

pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,

the instrument will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.

9. During the measurement, the heart symbol BT flashes in the

display every time a heartbeat is detected.

10.The result, comprising the systolic AM and the diastolic AN

blood pressure and the pulse AO is displayed. Note also the

explanations on further displays in this booklet.

11.When the measurement has finished, remove the cuff.

12.Enter the result in the enclosed blood pressure pass and switch

off the instrument. (The monitor does switch off automatically

after approx. 1 min.).

How not to store a reading

Press the ON/OFF button 1 while the reading is being displayed.

Keep the button pressed until «M» AS is flashing and then release

it. Confirm by pressing the M-button again.



You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the

ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant

pressure sensation).



If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high

it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press

the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up to

a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the

button pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above

the expected systolic value – then release the button.

5. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for

early Detection (only in MAM mode)

This symbol

indicates that an atrial fibrillation was detected

during the measurement. This device is able to detect atrial fibrilla-
