1. Introduction

1.1.Features

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

per 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.

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

ther 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 adapt-

ed 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 100 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 recom-

mended. 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 val-

ues 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) according to World Health Organization:

☞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 hyperten-

sion». 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 en-

dangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient sup-

ply 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 as-

cribed 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 pres-

sure, 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

Moderate hypertension between 160 and 180 between 100 and 110 Consult your doctor

Severe hypertension higher than 180 higher than 110 Consult your doctor immediately

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 pos-

sible for you.

3. The various components of the blood-pressure monitor

The illustration shows the blood-pressure monitor, consisting of:

a) Measuring unit

b) Cuff

cuff type M for arm circumference 22–32 cm or

cuff type L for arm circumference 32–42 cm

(available as special accessory)

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).

O/I button

LCD-display

Bulb

Handle

a) Remove cover as illustrated

b) Insert the batteries (2 x size 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 «AAA» 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 peri-

ods, please remove the batteries from the device.

Functional check: Press and hold the O/I button down to test all the display elements. When functioning

correctly all segments appear.

4.2.Tube connection

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

Insert the cuff tube into the opening provided on the back

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 fac-

tors influence the measurement result. Try to find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet at-

mosphere for about 5 minutes before measurement.

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

• Always measure 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 their arm can increase blood-pressure. Make sure you are in a com-

fortable, 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 wrist 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 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 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) 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 over

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

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

affixing the Velcro.

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 your

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

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

is not kinked.

Note:

If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can al-

so be placed on the right one. However, all measurements

should be made using the same arm.

5.4.Measuring procedure

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

a) Press the O/I button. Make sure the tube is properly

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.

2–3 cm

tube

b) Grasp the handle and bulb 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 approximately 160 - 180 mmHg. The cuff

pressure is shown continuously on the LCD.

c) After the inflation process remain in a quiet and relaxed sitting

position. The measurement now proceeds on its own. If no mea-

surement takes place and all that appears in the display is a

flashing, upwards pointing arrow, see below under «Inflate fur-

ther». When the instrument detects a pulse, a heart symbol in

the display starts to flash.

d) A longer beep is sounded when the measurement has been

completed. The systolic, and diastolic blood pressures and pulse

rate now appear in the display.

At the same time, the cuff pressure will be automatically re-

leased by the quick release valve of the device.

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 by pressing the 0/I button.

As soon as the cuff is inflated sufficiently and the measurement is

proceeding, continue as described under points c-d.

5.6.Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for

any reason (e.g. the patient feels unwell), the O/I button can be

pressed at any time.

The device immediately lowers the cuff-pressure automatically.

5.7.Memory – displaying the last measurement

The measured results are stored in the instrument until a

new measurement is carried out or the batteries are re-

moved. You can call up the stored values at any time by

pressing the O/I button for at least 3 seconds.
