1. Introduction

1.1. Features

The blood-pressure monitor is a semi-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 duration 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 and

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

ejection» (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

does prescribed by your doctor.

Table for classifying blood-pressure values (units mmHg) according to World Health Organization:

Range Systolic Diastolic Measures

Blood-pressure Blood-pressure

Hypotension lower than 100 lower than 60 Consult your doctor

Normal range between 100 and 140 between 60 and 90 Self-check

Mild hypertension between 140 and 160 between 90 and 100 Consult your doctor

Moderately serious between 160 and 180 between 100 and 110 Consult your doctor

hypertension

Serious hypertension higher than 180 higher than 110 Consult your doctor

immediately

☞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

hypertension». 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 deﬁcient

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 possible

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.

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 1.5 V Batteries.

The use of 1.2 V 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. Tube connection

Cuff AC-1 (1-tube cuff + T-connector):

Set up (or check) the tube connections between cuff,

instrument and pump ball 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.

AC-1

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

pressure will be measured! (Each 15 cm difference in height results in a measurement error of

10 mmHg!)

• Cuffs that are too narrow or too 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

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

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

• Measurements should not occur soon after each other, since otherwise, the results will be falsiﬁed.

Wait therefore for several minutes in a relaxed position, sitting or lying, before you repeat a

measurement.

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) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make certain

that the lower edge of the cuff lies approximately 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

exactly 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 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.

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

2-3 cm

tube

5.4. Measuring procedure

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:

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

tube should not yet be attached to the instrument. The

following appears in the display for 2 seconds: (Diag.). A

short be-be-beep follows to indicate that the instrument

has equilibrated with the pressure of the surroundings and

the measurement can therefore begin.

A«0» is shown in the display.

b) Plug the T-connecting piece or the free end of the tube into

the left-hand side of the instrument.

c) Grasp the pump ball with your free hand and inﬂate the

cuff to a pressure at least 40 mmHg higher than the

expected systolic pressure. If you do not know the value of

this pressure, inﬂate to a value of approx. 160–180 mmHg.

The cuff pressure is shown continuously on the LCD.

d) After the inﬂation process lay down the pump ball and remain

in a quiet and relaxed sitting position. The measurement now

proceeds on its own. If no measurement takes place and all

that appears in the display is a ﬂashing, upwards pointing

arrow, see below under «Inﬂate further». When the

instrument detects a pulse, a heart symbol in the display

starts to ﬂash and a beep is heard for every heart beat.

e) When the measurement has been concluded, a long peep

tone sounds. The measured systolic and diastolic blood-

pressure values and the pulse frequency are now displayed.

The cuff pressure can now be quickly released by pressing

the release valve at the pump ball.

5.5. Inﬂating further

If the cuff is not inﬂated sufﬁciently, the measurement is

broken off after a few seconds and a ﬂashing arrow pointing

upwards appears in the display. It is then necessary to

inﬂate further to at least 20 mmHg higher than the previous

value. The instruction to inﬂate further can appear several

times if the pressure is still not sufﬁcient.

Attention:

If the cuff is inﬂated too far (over 300 mmHg), «HI» appears

in the display and a warning signal is sounded. The cuff

pressure must then be immediately released using the

quick-release valve) at the pump ball)! As soon as the cuff

is inﬂated sufﬁciently and the measurement is proceeding,

continue as described under points d–e.
