Braun PrecisionSensor pro is a blood pressure monitor that has been

developed for easy and accurate blood pressure measurements at the wrist.

The accuracy of the product has been tested at the time of manufacture.

Measurements can be saved.

For reliable measurements, blood pressure monitors should always be

positioned at an appropriate measuring position at heart level.

Therefore the Braun PrecisionSensor pro has an active positioning system

that guides the patient’s arm via arrows on the display to the appropriate

measuring position at heart level.

However, to ensure accurate results, carefully read these

instructions.

Hypertension in the medical practice

Hypertension is very critical as risk factor for a number of cardiovascular

related diseases. Thus, it is one of the main risk factors for stroke, coronary

heart disease, cardiac insufficiency and renal disease.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 20 % of the

world's adult populations has high blood pressure. The prevalence is even

higher in the older population segments resulting in up to 50 % of people

affected by hypertension.

These data reveal that blood pressure measurement plays a central role in

the medical practice either as screening method for undiagnosed individuals

or as treatment monitoring tool for diagnosed patients. Blood pressure

measurement in the practice represents the foundation for diagnosis and

therapy of hypertension apart from the widespread use of patient home

monitoring and special diagnostic procedures, such as Ambulatory Blood

Pressure Measurement (24-hour-measurement).

The importance of the blood pressure measurement in the practice’s

environment calls for a high performance standard with regard to quality

and reliability of the professional measuring device. Braun PrecisionSensor

pro has been designed to meet these demanding requirements. The device

features a newly developed electronic positioning sensor that commands an

active positioning system enabling the user to reliably find the appropriate

measuring position at heart level. In this way accurate and reproducible

6059009_BP2590_S4-66 Seite 4 Freitag, 4. August 2000 11:22 11

readings are achieved. Moreover, the device monitors the appropriate

positioning at definite intervals during the measurement cycle, thus

providing additional safety and reliability. This watchdog feature allows

patient self measurement in the practice, which may be beneficial in

reducing the problem of white coat hypertension.

With its technical design, Braun PrecisionSensor pro is the ideal

supplementary device for the medical practice.

For further information on blood pressure measurement or topic information

on diagnosis and therapy of hypertension you may visit the Braun

professional home page at www.braun-medical.com.

Important

• Deviations in blood pressure values may occur with people suffering

from cardiac arrhythmia, angiostenosis, arteriosclerosis in the upper

extremities, diabetes or with users of cardiac pacemakers. In case of

doubt, please carry out a comparative measurement with the stethoscope

method.

• The cuff of this product is suitable for a wrist circumference between

13.5 and 20 cm. Measuring deviations may occur if patient’s wrist is not

within this range.

• Patient’s self-measurement in the medical practice: Prior to the first

self-measurement, it is necessary to instruct the patient how to use the

appliance correctly.

Inserting batteries

• Use only alkaline batteries of the type LR 03 (AAA)

(e.g. Duracell-Ultra) as supplied with this product.

• Remove the battery cover (F) and insert two

batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in the

battery compartment (E)).

• New batteries (Duracell-Ultra) will provide

approximately 300 measurements.

• Only discard of empty batteries. They should not

be disposed of in the household waste, but at

appropriate collection sites or at your dealer.

• Repeat a measurement no sooner than after

3 minutes.

Key rules for accurate blood pressure

measurement

• Blood pressure should be measured on

a patient to be seated who has had a rest of

approx. 3-5 minutes. If indicated, a measurement

can also be taken on a person in supine position

(refer to «Measurement on a person in supine

position»). During measurement, the patient

should not move, nor speak.

• Prior to the measurement, the patient should avoid

heavy physical exercise or psychic excitement.

6059009_BP2590_S4-66 Seite 6 Freitag, 4. August 2000 11:22 11

• The patient should avoid drinking large quantities

before the measurement; the bladder should have

been emptied as far as possible.

• Avoid taking measurements within 60 minutes

after the patient has consumed alcohol or nicotine.

• If a patient takes blood pressure effective

medication, ask when he/she last took it.

• Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating

a measurement.

Measuring

For every blood pressure measurement at the

wrist an appropriate measuring position at heart

level is essential for accurate results.

1. Fasten the appliance on the patient’s left arm

on the radial side of the forearm (see illustration).

Make sure the cuff (G) fits tight. Stand close to

the patient in a position so that you can easily

see the display and the control buttons. Press the

«I/0» button (C). An arrow appears on the right

hand side of the display (A). If there are readings

stored in the memory, «mem» appears in the

lower left corner of the display.

2. Help the patient to take the measuring position

as shown. The arms should remain close to the

body. Make sure the appliance is positioned

approximately at the person’s heart level.

Move the forearm of the patient up or down

(see illustration) in the direction of the arrow.

3. When a measuring position has been reached,

you will hear an acoustic signal and the display

shows a heart symbol. Both indicate that the

appropriate measuring position has been

reached. The measurement now starts

automatically.

4. When the measurement is complete, an acoustic

signal will sound again, and the reading is

displayed.

Upper (systolic) value

Lower (diastolic) value

Pulse

Additionally, on the upper display section, three

status boxes will appear to confirm that the

appropriate measuring position was kept during the

complete measuring process.

All three boxes have to show «OK». If the following

symbols («

» = too high; «

» = too low) appear, the

appropriate measuring position was not maintained

and the measurement has to be repeated.

Important

15 seconds after switching on the device, the

measuring process will begin automatically, even

if the appropriate measuring position has not been

reached. If at any time you want to discontinue the

measurement, press the I/0 button.

Memory

The blood pressure monitor can store up to

30 readings along with the status box information.

Readings are stored automatically after each

measurement.

6059009_BP2590_S4-66 Seite 8 Freitag, 4. August 2000 11:22 11

To recall stored readings, first switch off the device.

Then press the memory button (B). Repeatedly

pressing the memory button will call up one by one

all stored readings (including status box information).

The number in the upper left corner of the display

indicates the memory position (01 being the oldest,

30 the most recent).

Holding down the memory button for more than a

second will delete all memory data completely.

After clearing the memory, the appliance will turn off

automatically.

Turning off the product

Press the I/0 button to turn the product off.

Otherwise the product will turn off automatically after

2 minutes.

Measurement on patients in supine position

When taking a reading on a patient in supine position

the appropriate measurement position at heart level

of the Braun PrecisionSensor pro device is normally

achieved automatically. The active positioning

system is not needed in this case. In order to

guarantee a correct measurement the position

sensor should be switched off for the measurement

(refer to «Pre-setting the position sensor»).

Pre-setting the position sensor

The active positioning system of the appliance

allows accurate and repeatable blood pressure

measurements in the practice. Therefore, the

position sensor is activated in the pre-settings at

the time of manufacture. We recommend that you

keep it activated. In certain cases, e.g. prevailing

measurements on persons lying down, it may be

necessary to de-activate the position sensor.

For this purpose, you will find a select button (D)

underneath the battery compartment cover.

6059009_BP2590_S4-66 Seite 9 Freitag, 4. August 2000 11:22 11

First turn off the product. Keep the select button

pressed, until an acoustic signal sounds. The display

shows a flashing «OK» next to the position sensor

symbol (see illustration).

If you wish to turn off the position sensor, press the

«I/0» button (C): The display changes from «OK» (on)

to «–» (off). Press the memory button to confirm the

new setting. Then the product turns off

automatically. In order to re-activate the position

sensor, proceed as described above.
