1. Introduction

1.1. Features

The aneroid blood pressure kit is a non-automated, mechanical blood-pressure measuring device

for use on the upper arm.

It offers proven reliability and superior performance at an economical price. With the advanced

non-stop pin mechanism and ergonomic bulb with complete valves, the BP AG1-10 ensure you a

precise and consistent measurement. Its oversized cuff can be applied to users whose arm

circumference ist 25 the least and up to 40 cm. Nevertheless, its durable nylon cuff, high-grade

bearing and aneroid bellow provide consistent operation. The entire unit stores in a zippered

Nylon bag for easy portability.

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.

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

IB AG1-10 e_f_s_ru 4706.qxd 11/22/06 8:55 AM Page 2

«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 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 re-

commended. 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

IB AG1-10 e_f_s_ru 4706.qxd 11/22/06 8:55 AM Page 3

☞Further information

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

ditions 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 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

IB AG1-10 e_f_s_ru 4706.qxd 11/22/06 8:55 AM Page 4

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. Carrying out a measurement

4.1. 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 ten minutes before the measurement.

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

• Measure always on the same wrist (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.

4.2. 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 measu-

rement 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 of 10mmHg!)

• 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.

4.3. Fitting the cuff

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

points in the direction of the lower arm.

IB AG1-10 e_f_s_ru 4706.qxd 11/22/06 8:55 AM Page 6

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 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.

f) Remain seated quietly for two 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.
