Selecting The User; Measuring Blood Pressure - uebe visomat double comfort Gebrauchsanweisung

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 dur-
ing the measurement. Keep still and do not
move.
• Ensure that the measuring point on the upper arm is approximate-
ly level with your heart. If the measuring 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 measurements
taken in morning and those taken in the evening separately. 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 dis-
played.
• 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 measure-
ment to the correct user after the measurement has been taken (see
page 51).

10. Measuring blood pressure

• Switch the device on using the Start/Stop but-
ton. The following display appears (Figure 1):
• After the device has completed its calibration
against the ambient air pressure (Figure 2),
the automatically controlled inflation process
starts. The cuff is inflated to the pressure re-
quired for measurement.
• Shortly after the inflation procedure begins, a
check is carried out to ensure that the cuff has
not been applied too loosely. If the cuff is applied
correctly, the symbol is displayed (Figure 3).
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 symbol flashes in the
display (Figure 4). In addition, beeps denote the
pulse.
• A long beep denotes the end of measurement.
The cuff is automatically deflated.
• The determined systole, diastole and pulse val-
ues, as well as the pulse pressure (PP) are shown
in the display (Figure 5).
• When the measurement is finished, you will be
given another opportunity to change the memo-
ry to which the measured value is to be saved. To
do this, press the Memory button of the user for
whom the measured value is to be saved.
