Pull down and wrap it around and upwards, so that there is no gap between the sleeve and your wrist. If the sleeve is not firmly attached the pressure will increase and the wrist will become numb. 16 7 If the sleeve cannot be attached to your left arm and if it is not possible to measure your left arm, use your right one. D. 17 Correct measurement 8 Place your elbow on the table or other supporting surface, and hold your arm so that the wrist sleeve is at heart height. In doing so, support your lower arm on the storage box or on a folded towel or similar. To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. It is important to measure your blood pressure at home and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure, which can change over the course of a day, is recorded properly. 18 Inform your doctor of the values measured so that he can give you medical advice. Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that measured at the upper arm. The values may be slightly different because of the different measurement positions and the strength of the blood vessels in the wrist and upper arm. In many cases, the difference for healthy people can be ±10 mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Attention is advised for the following types of person: People with high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease, hardened arteries, poor circulation. Carrying out measurements 1. All indicators are displayed for a few seconds on the screen; then the screen shows the time and the most recently selected memory unit (U1/U2). If you have already stored measurements in this unit the display shows the latest values. 19 During measurement do not move the sleeve or your arm or hand muscles. A few seconds later the monitor starts searching the zero point. When the air pressure is stable the monitor begins to measure automatically. The air is released from the sleeve. If you want to repeat a measurement you should wait at least five minutes. The air must be completely removed from the sleeve. Automatic Measurement Measurement starts automatically; the device pumps up the sleeve. [. . . ] In order to determine the electromagnetic environment resulting from stationary HF transmitters we recommend an on-site inspection. If the field determined at the location of Model MD 15231 exceeds the pass level stated above the Model MD 15231 must be checked for normal operation at each point of use. If unusual performance characteristics are observed, it may be necessary to undertake additional measures such as realigning or moving Model MD 15231. Not applicable in the frequency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz. 34 Table 206 Recommended protective distances between portable and mobile HF telecommunication devices and the [DEVICE or SYSTEM] Model MD 15231 is intended for operation in an electromagnetic environment in which the HF interference is controlled.
