The MTX gives you the opportunity to assign readings to one of two user

.
With the MTX, you can choose between two measuring modes.
• Single reading
• 3 consecutive readings ( Measurement Average Mode = 3/MAM-mode )
In the case of a single reading, just one blood pressure reading is taken and
stored.
The 3/MAM-mode is to be recommended if you suffer from severely fluctu-
ating blood pressure. 3 successive readings are taken at 15 second intervals,
thus eliminating widely varying readings. In the case of serious deviations,
a 4th reading may be taken.
From these three measurements, a weighted average value is calculated,
displayed and stored in the selected memory. A reading taken in this way is
indicated in the memory by an

.
The 3/MAM procedure greatly minimizes the risk of an incorrect reading.
