Selecting The User; Measuring Blood Pressure - uebe visomat double comfort Mode D'emploi

C
• Put your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
Measurement in a lying position
• Lie on your back. Look up at the ceiling
during the measurement. Keep still and
do not move.
• Ensure that the measuring point on the
upper arm is approximately level with your heart. If the meas-
uring point is lower than the heart, the measured values may
be higher. If the measuring point is higher than the heart, the
measured values may be lower.
The results for measurements taken in a sitting and lying position
may differ slightly.

9. Selecting the user

The device is designed for two users. The values for the two users
are stored separately and can also be evaluated separately.
You may also use the two user memories to evaluate measure-
ments taken in morning and those taken in the evening separate-
ly. To do this, carry out the measurement in the morning using
user 1 and in the evening using user 2.
• Before taking the measurement, check that the correct user
is displayed.
• To change the user, press the user button for whose memory
bank you want to switch over to.
• Now carry out the measurement.

Also, you will be given another opportunity to assign the meas-
urement to the correct user after the measurement has been
taken (see page 52).

10. Measuring blood pressure

• Switch the device on using the Start/Stop
button. The following display appears (Fig-
ure 1):
• After the device has completed its calibra-
tion against the ambient air pressure (Fig-
ure 2), the automatically controlled inflation
process starts. The cuff is inflated to the
pressure required for measurement.
• Shortly after the inflation procedure be-
gins, a check is carried out to ensure that
the cuff has not been applied too loosely. If
the cuff is applied correctly, the
is displayed. If the symbol is not displayed
by the time the pulse signal starts, the cuff
is too loose. In this case, you should repeat
the measurement after you have applied the
cuff correctly (see page 48).
• The actual measurement process then
begins as the cuff deflates. The
flashes in the display (Figure 3). In addition, beeps denote the
pulse.
• A long beep denotes the end of measure-
ment. The cuff is automatically deflated.
• The determined systole, diastole and pulse
values, as well as the pulse pressure (PP) are
shown in the display (Figure 4).
