• 3 consecutive readings ( Measurement Average Mode = 3/MAM-mode )
In the case of a single reading, just one blood pressure reading is taken and stored.
The 3/MAM-mode is to be recommended if you suffer from severely fluctuating blood
pressure. 3 successive readings are taken at 15 second intervals, thus eliminating
widely varying readings. In the case of serious deviations, a 4th reading may be taken.
From these three measurements, a weighted average value is calculated, displayed
and stored in the selected memory. A reading taken in this way is indicated in the
memory by an bk .
