5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Before Measurement
- Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
- Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for 30 minutes prior to measurement.
- Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Do not cross your legs.
- Place your arm on a table so that the cuff is at heart level.
- Remain still and silent during the measurement.
5.2 Taking a Measurement
- Ensure the cuff is correctly attached to your arm and the air tube is connected to the monitor.
- Press the START/STOP button to turn on the device. The cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
- Remain still and do not talk during the inflation and measurement process. The Rapid Tech - Comfort Experience technology will measure during inflation.
- Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your systolic (SYS), diastolic (DIA), and pulse (Pul/min) readings will be displayed on the screen.
- Press the START/STOP button again to turn off the device, or it will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity.

5.3 Understanding Readings
- SYS (Systolic Pressure): The highest pressure in the arteries when the heart beats.
- DIA (Diastolic Pressure): The lowest pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
- Pul/min (Pulse Rate): The number of heartbeats per minute.
- Irregular Heartbeat Detector: If an irregular heartbeat is detected, a corresponding symbol will appear on the display. Consult your doctor if this symbol appears frequently.
- Arm Movement Sensor: An icon will appear if excessive arm movement is detected during measurement, indicating a potentially inaccurate reading.
5.4 Memory Function
The ClearRAPID monitor can store up to 200 readings, organized into two user areas (A and B), or for morning and evening measurements. It also automatically calculates the average of the last 3 readings.
- To access stored readings, press the MEM button.
- Use the SET button to switch between user areas (A/B) or to view different stored readings.
- The average of the last 3 readings will be displayed first when accessing the memory.
