in the arteries occurring when the heart contracts. The lower reading (diastolic pressure) shows the lowest pressure in the arteries, which occurs right before the heart contracts. Blood pressure readings are written with the highest value first, then the lowest value. Readings of 120/80 are considered to be normal, with high blood pressure being defined as a systolic pressure which is 140mmHg or more at rest and a diastolic pressure which is 90mmHg or more at rest.
Troubleshooting Error indicators Indication Cuff pressure reaches 330mmHg Cause Twisted bladder inside cuff Correction Ensure that bladder lies flat within cuff Indication "Err" displays, cuff pressure releases, then "0 pressure" displays Cause Excessive arm movement or talking during measurement Correction Turn monitor OFF then ON and measure again while remaining still Indication Could not obtain pulse rate Cause Cuff was too loosely applied, extremely weak pulse, or arrhythmia Correction Reap
7. Attach the cuff: Hold the area of the cuff where the hose exits the cuff firmly against the inside of the bare upper arm directly over the brachial artery, and the bottom of the cuff approximately one inch (2-3cm) above the elbow, as shown in the third picture at right. Never place the cuff over clothing. Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the arm and secure with the Velcro® fastener. The cuff should be snug, but not too tight.
7. If performing measurement for the first time, repeat the measurement two or more times to ensure that you and cuff are positioned correctly and that results are accurate and consistent. Record your results; there is a log provided, with examples, at the end of this manual for this purpose. Always check with your physician to ensure that readings are performed correctly. If you have concerns or questions about your results, always contact your physician.
Note: The low battery symbol will also appear at this time while the monitor checks the power level. This does not indicate that the batteries are low unless the low battery symbol remains on continuously. 3. After "0" displays, pressurize the cuff by squeezing the bulb until the pressure value displayed is 50mmHg above your usual systolic pressure. If you do not know your usual systolic pressure, squeeze the bulb just until 200mmHg displays. 4.
