1. Introduction

1.1. Features

The blood-pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood-pressure measuring device for use on the

upper arm, which enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood-pressure

as well as the pulse frequency by way of the oscillometric method of measuring.

The device offers a very high and clinical tested measurement accuracy and has been designed to provide

a maximum of user-friendliness.

Thanks to the large LCD display, both operational status and cuff pressure are visible for the entire dura-

tion of the measurement.

Before using, please read through this instruction manual carefully and then keep it in a safe place.

For further questions on the subject of blood-pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.

Attention!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

• Do not forget: self-measurement means Control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values must

always be discussed with your doctor. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any

drugs prescribed by your doctor.

• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers!

• In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this instrument should only be

evaluated after consultation with the doctor.

Electromagnetic interference:

The device contains sensitive electronic components (Microcomputer). Therefore, avoid strong electrical

or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave cookers).

These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy.

2. Important information on the subject of blood-pressure and its measurement

2.1. How does high/low blood-pressure arise?

The level of blood-pressure is determined in a part of the brain, the so-called circulatory centre, and

adapted to the respective situation by way of feedback via the nervous system.

To adjust the blood-pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of

circulatory blood vessels is altered. The latter is effected by way of fine muscles in the blood-vessel

walls.

The level of arterial blood-pressure changes periodically during the heart activity: During the «blood ejec-

tion» (Systole) the value is maximal (systolic blood-pressure value), at the end of the heart’s «rest period»

(Diastole) minimal (diastolic blood-pressure value).

The blood-pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular diseases.

2.2 Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or the systolic blood-

pressure is over 140 mmHg. In this case, please consult your doctor immediately. Long-term values at this

level endanger your health due to the associated advancing damage to the blood vessels in your body.

With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values

under 60 mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor.

Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is

recommended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of the level

of your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-measurements at specific times of the day. Show these

values to your doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to alter independently the drug

doses prescribed by your doctor.

Table for classifying blood-pressure values (units mmHg) :

Range Systolic Diastolic Measures

Blood-pressure Blood-pressure

Hypotension lower than 105 lower than 60 Consult your doctor

Normal range between 105 and 140 between 60 and 90 Self-check

Limit value hypertension between 140 and 160 between 90 and 95 Consult your doctor

Mild hypertension higher than 160 between 95 and 105 Consult your doctor

Moderately serious higher than 160 between 105 and115 Consult your doctor

hypertension

Serious hypertension higher than 160 higher than 115 Consult your doctor urgently

☞Further information

• If your values are mostly standard under resting conditions but exceptionally high under conditions

of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you are suffering from so-called «labile hyper

tension». Please consult your doctor if you suspect that this might be the case.

• Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120 mmHg require immediate medical

treatment.

2.3. What can be done, if regular increased/low values are obtained?

a) Please consult your doctor.

b) Increased blood-pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated long- and medium

term with considerable risks to health. This concerns the arterial blood vessels of your body, which

are endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A def-

cient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the result. Furthermore, with

long-term continuously increased blood-pressure values, the heart will become structurally damaged.

c) There are many different causes of the appearance of high blood pressure. We differentiate between

the common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter group can be

ascribed to specific organic malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possi-

ble origins of your own increased blood pressure values.

d) There are measures which you can take, not only for reducing a medically established high blood

pressure, but also for prevention. These measures are part of your general way of life:

A) Eating habits

• Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. Reduce overweight!

• Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.

• Avoid fatty foods. 3

B) Previous illnesses

Follow consistently any medical instructions for treating previous illness such as:

• Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus)

• Fat metabolism disorder

• Gout

C) Habits

• Give up smoking completely

• Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol

• Restrict your caffeine consumption (Coffee)

D) Physical constitution

• After a preliminary medical examination, do regular sport.

• Choose sports which require stamina and avoid those which require strength.

• Avoid reaching the limit of your performance.

• With previous illnesses and/or an age of over 40 years, please consult your doctor before beginning

your sporting activities. He will advise you regarding the type and extent of types of sport that are

possible for you.

4. Putting the blood-pressure monitor into operation

4.1. Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the

batteries. The battery compartment is located on the

underside of the device (see illustration).

a) Remove cover as illustrated

b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AA 1,5 V), thereby

observing the indicated polarity.

c) If the battery warning appears in the display, the

batteries are empty and must be replaced by new

ones.

Attention!

• After the battery warning appears, the device is blocked until the batteries have been replaced.

• Please use «AA» Long-Life or Alkaline 1.5V Batteries. The use of 1.2V Accumulators is not recommended.

• If the blood-pressure monitor is left unused for long periods, please remove the batteries from the device.

Functional check:

Hold on the O/I button down to test all the display

elements. When functioning correctly all segments must

appear.

4.2. Using a mains adapter (special accessory)

It is possible to operate this blood-pressure instrument through a mains adapter (output 6V DC / 600 mA

with DIN plug). Make certain that you use a mains adapter which fulfils the legal requirements (CE sign

on the type plate).

a) Plug the DIN plug into the socket at the back of

the instrument.

b) Plug the mains adapter into a 230 V power socket.

c) Test that power is available by pressing the

O/I button.

Note:

• No power is taken from the batteries while the mains adapter is connected to the instrument.

• If the mains voltage is interrupted during the measurement (e.g. by removal of the mains adapter

from the mains socket), the instrument must be reset by removing the DIN plug from its socket.

• Please consult a specialist dealer if you have questions relating to the mains adapter.

4.3. Tube connection

Insert the cuff tube into the opening provided on the left

side of the instrument, as shown in the diagram.

5. Carrying out a measurement

5.1. Before the measurement

• Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement. All these

factors influence the measurement result. Try and find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a

quite atmosphere for about 5 minutes before the measurement.

• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.

• Measure always on the same arm (normally left).

• Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the same time of day, since the blood-pressure

changes during the course of the day.

5.2. Common sources of error

Note: Comparable blood-pressure measurements always require the same conditions! These are normally

always quiet conditions.

• All efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase the blood-pressure. Make sure you are in a

comfortable, relaxed position and do not activate any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the

measurement. Use a cushion for support if necessary.

• If the arm artery lies considerably lower (higher) than the heart, an erroneously higher (lower) blood-pres-

sure will be measured! (Each 15 cm difference in height results in a measurement error of 10mmHg!)

• Cuffs that are too narrow or to short result in false measurement values. Selecting the correct cuff is of

extraordinary importance. The cuff size is dependent upon the circumference of the arm (measured in

the centre). The permissible range is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your use, please con-

tact your dealer. Note: Only use clinically approved Original-Cuffs!

• A loose cuff or a sideways protruding air-pocket causes false measurement values.

5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube

points in the direction of the lower arm.

b) Make certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies approx. 2 to

3 cm above the elbow and that the rubber tube leaves

the cuff on the inner side of the arm.

Important! The mark (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie over

the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.

c) Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the cuff with

the closer.

d) There must be no free space between the arm and the

cuff as this would influence the result. Clothing must

not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does

(e.g. a pullover) must be taken off.

e) Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in such a way

that it lies comfortably and is not too tight. Lay the

arm on the table (palm upwards) so that the cuff is at

the same height as the heart. Make sure that the tube

is not kinked.

2–3 cm

tube

f) Remain seated quietly for 2 minutes before you

begin the measurement.

Comment:

If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also

be placed on the right one. However all measurements

should be made using the same arm

5.4. Setting the inflation pressure

Program the inflation pressure to be approximately 40 mmHg higher than your estimated systolic blood

pressure. You can choose between 8 initial values: 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260 and 280 mmHg. If

you do not know your systolic blood pressure, select a value between 160 and 200. The instrument is pre-

set to 140 mmHg. If this initial value is sufficient for you, omit the following step and start immediately

with the measurement.

Set the initial pressure as follows:

a) Switch on the instrument by pressing the O/I button.

This picture appears on the LCD display. (It remains

there as long as you hold the button pressed down).

b) After the button is released, the display flashes as

shown and the instrument beeps. This indicates that

the instrument is automatically adjusting itself to

the pressure of the surroundings.

c) After this equalization is completed, zero is displayed.

Finally a beep is emitted to indicate that the instru-

ment is ready to take measurements.

d) On pressing the SET button the instrument displays

the pre-set initial pressure for approx. 3 seconds.

e) In order to set the initial pressure individually, press

the SET button briefly for each level until the required

initial pressure is reached. Each button press raises

the initial pressure by 20 mmHg. After reaching

280 mmHg the display starts again at 120 mmHg.

f) After the SET button has been released, the instru-

ment is set to the displayed value and the setting up

procedure is complete. As long as the batteries are

not removed, the value is stored in the instrument

even after it has been switched off.

Comment:

If the initial pressure selected was too low it will be corrected automatically during the measurement by

additional inflation. This results in a slightly longer measuring procedure which the patient may find

uncomfortable. The result of the measurement is normally not affected.
