Before using WatchBP Office Selecting the correct cuff Fitting the cuff properly Two different cuff sizes are provided with the WatchBP Office: Medium and Large. Select the cuff size that best matches the circumference of the patient’s upper arm. 1) Place the cuff over the left (right) upper arm so that the air tube and artery mark arrow point toward the lower arm. M (Medium size) 22 - 32 cm (8.75 - 12.5 inches) 2) Lay the cuff on the arm.
3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm. 4) Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff. The patient should be able to fit 2 fingers between the arm and the cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm. Remove all clothing covering or constricting the measurement arm. 5) Cuffs that do not fit properly can result in incorrect blood pressure measurements. Use a different size cuff if the range Index at the end of the cuff does not fall into the range specified by the range stripes.
Three operation modes SY S Choose a desired operationmmHg mode «AUSCULTATION» Mode DIA The WatchBP Office device includesmmHg three convenient operation modes: «AUSCULTATION», «1st VISIT» and «FOLLOW-UP» Mode.Use the ModeSYSwitch on the S mmHg side of the device to select the desired mode. Select «AUSCULTATION» Mode for blood pressure measurement of patients with arrhythmia, and, if needed, to confirm if a patient is suitable for the oscillometric method using a digital blood pressure monitor.
«1st VISIT» Mode Simultaneous dual-arm measurements Select «1st VISIT» Mode to complete a fullyautomated triple measurement on both arms according to recommended ESH/AHA blood pressure measurement protocols for a patient’s first office visit.
