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 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 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-pressurearise?

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.

Toadjust 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-pressurevalue), 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 90mmHg and/or the systolic blood-

pressure is over 140mmHg. 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 100mmHg and/or diastolic values

under 60mmHg, 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) 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 120mmHg 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

termwith 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-

termcontinuously increased blood-pressurevalues, the heartwill 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 pressurevalues.

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 back side 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).

a) Plug the plug into the socket at the left side of the

instrument.

b) Plug the mains adapter into a 230/110 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 adaptor is connected to the instrument.

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

4.3. Tube connection

Insertthe cufftube 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-

pressure will be measured! (Each 15cm difference in height results in a measurement error of10mmHg!)

• 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.

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 cuffon the armas illustrated. Make certain that

the lower edge of the cufflies 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.

2–3 cm

tube

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.

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. Measuring procedure

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the measurement

can begin:

a) Press the O/I + MEMORY-button, – the pump begins to

inflate the cuff. In the display, the increasing cuff-pressure

is continually displayed.

b) After reaching the inflation pressure, the pump stops and

the pressure slowly falls away. The cuff-pressure (large

characters) is displayed during the measurement.

c) When the device has detected the pulse, the heart symbol

in the display begins to blink and a peep tone is audible

for every pulse beat.

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

tone sounds. The measured systolic and diastolic blood-

pressure values as well as the pulse frequency are now

displayed.

e) The measurement results are displayed, until you switch

the device off. If no button is pressed for 5 minutes, the

device switches automatically off, to save the batteries.

5.5. Memory – displaying the last measurement

The measured results are stored in the instrument

until a new measurement is carried out or the

batteries are removed. You can call up the stored

values at any time by pressing the MEMORYbutton

for at least 3 seconds.

5.6. Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessaryto 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 then

immediately lowers the cuff-pressureautomatically.
