Measuring Your Blood Pressure - Beurer BM 20 Gebrauchsanleitung

7. Correct measurement position
You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying down.
Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with your heart. To avoid distorting
the measurement, it is important that you remain calm during measurement and
do not speak.

8. Measuring your blood pressure

• Put on the cuff as described above and take up the position in which you wish
to perform the measurement.
• Switch on the device with the Start/Stop button.
• A self-test runs, during which all display elements are illuminated briefly, and
then measurement starts. While the cuff is being pumped up, the symbol
displayed. Pressure is increased to 180 mmHg. If this pressure is not sufficient,
the device automatically pumps another 30 mmHg (fuzzy logic).
• When the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse is recorded, the
symbol appears.
• Once measurement has ended, residual air pressure is released very quickly and
the symbol appears. pulse, systolic and diastolic pressures are displayed.
• Now press memory keys M1 or M2 to select the required user memory. If you do
not select any user memory, the measurement result is assigned for storage in
the user memory which was last used. The symbol 'M1' or 'M2' appears accord-
ingly in the display.
• Switch off the blood pressure monitor with the Start/Stop button. The measu-
rement result is then saved to the selected user memory. If you forget to switch
off the device, it switches off automatically after approx. 3 minutes. Even then,
the result is still saved to the selected user memory.
Wait at least 5 minutes before any new measurement!
