A: Ensure that proper BP protocol is being followed:

  • While taking the measurement:
    • Patient is in a seated, still position with arm supported and back upright.
    • Allow patient to relax prior to the 1st measurement.
    • Cuff is positioned at heart level.
    • Use automatic mode to take multiple measurements and average.
    • Ensure proper BpTRU cuff and cuff size is used.
  • Ensure the BpTRU is being used within its intended use. Please refer to the
    Operators Manual for further information.
  • It is recommended that any perceived inaccuracies be double-checked with
    auscultation.
  • A ‘T-connector’ reference check is available to test pressure measurement
    accuracy or to allow simultaneous auscultation with BpTRU measurement.
