WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?
ABOUT CUFF INFLATION METER
The Cuff Inflation Meter is located on the left side of the display screen to tell you
when the blood pressure monitor is inflating and deflating the cuff. The Cuff Inflation
Meter moves up during inflation and moves down during deflation.

A&D Medical blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display
full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” – a
noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure
of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure
generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each
heartbeat.
The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation speed is maximized
and the pressure level is optimized by the device. The monitor takes measurements
while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in a faster measurement
providing greater comfort to the user.
