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 AG1-30 ensure you a precise and consistent measurement. With stethoscope attached to the

D-ring cuff, BP AG1-30 can be easily operated. 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

«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 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 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.

☞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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

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 5 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15cmdifferenceinheightresultsinameasurement

• Cuffsthataretoonarrowortooshortresultinfalsemeasurementvalues.Selectingthecorrect

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.

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.
