Homedics BPA-2000-EU [7/244] Setting date time and measurement unit

SETTING DATE, TIME AND MEASUREMENT UNIT

It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure monitor, so that a time stamp can be

assigned to each record that is stored in the memory. (year: 2000–2050, time: 24 H)

This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect blood pressure. Before every measurement,

the unit establishes a “zero pressure” equivalent to the air pressure. Then it starts inflating the arm cuff,

meanwhile, the unit detects pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to

determine the systolic and diastolic pressure, and also pulse rate.

The device also compares the longest and the shortest time intervals of detected pulse waves to mean time

interval then calculates standard deviation. The device will display a warning signal with the reading to

indicate the detection of irregular heartbeat when the difference of the time intervals is over 25%.
