1. Important Facts about Blood Pressure and Self-

Measurement

•

Blood pressure

is the pressure of the blood flowing in the arteries

generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the

systolic

(upper) value and the

diastolic

(lower) value, are always measured.

•The device indicates the pulse rate (the number of times the heart

beats in a minute).

•Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your

health and must be treated by your doctor!

•Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if you

have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely on

single blood pressure readings.

•

A number of factors can affect the accuracy of measurements

taken on the wrist.

In some cases, the result may differ from the

measurement taken on the upper arm. We therefore advise you to

compare these values with those produced by the upper arm

measurement and discuss them with your doctor.

•Enter your readings in the enclosed blood pressure diary. This

will give your doctor a quick overview.

•

There are many causes of excessively

high blood pressure

values

. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer treat-

ment where appropriate. Besides medication, relaxation techniques,

weight loss and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.

•Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any

drugs prescribed by your doctor!

•Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is

subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You should

therefore take your measurements in the same quiet condi-

tions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two measure-

ments per day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

•It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession

to produce significantly different results.

•Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in the

pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as these

situations are completely different.

•Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than just

one single measurement.

•Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two

measurements.

•If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure very

closely as it can change drastically during this time!

•If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see

«Section 4.»), measurements taken with this device should only

be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

•The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency

of heart pacemakers!

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. Example:

a readout value between 150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indicates «blood

pressure too high».

2. Using the Device for the First Time

Activating the fitted batteries

Pull out the protective strip from the battery compartment 3.

Setting the date and time

1. After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the

display. You can set the year by pressing the M-button 5. To

confirm and then set the month, press the time button 6.

2. Press the M-button to set the month. Press the time button to

confirm and then set the day.

3. Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.

4. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the time button, the

date and time are set and the time is displayed.

5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the time

button down for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts to

flash. Now you can enter the new values as described above.

3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this

Device

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the measurement.

2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.

3. Always measure in a sitting position and on the same wrist. Use

the wrist which usually shows higher blood pressure values.

4. Remove any items of clothing and your watch, for example, so

that your wrist is free.

5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in the

pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.

6. Fit the cuff comfortably but not too tight. The cuff will cover a wrist

circumference of 13.5 to 21.5 cm (5.25 - 8.5 inches).

7. Support your arm in a relaxed position and ensure that the device

is at the same height as your heart.

8. Press the ON/OFF button 1to start the measurement.

9. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move and

do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement result is

displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.

10.When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the

pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,

the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.

11.During the measurement, the heart symbol AN flashes in the

display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.

12.The result, comprising the systolic

and the diastolic

blood

pressure and the pulse rate

is displayed and a long beep is heard.

Note also the explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.

13.Remove and switch off the monitor and enter the result in the

enclosed blood pressure pass. (The monitor does switch off auto-

matically after approx. 1 min.).

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the

ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant pres-

sure sensation).

4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for

early Detection

This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were

detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may

deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement.

In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol

appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measure-

ments taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor. Please show

your doctor the following explanation:

Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the

Arrhythmia indicator

This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also

analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The device is clin-

ically tested.

The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse

irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears more

frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements performed

daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.

This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to

detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

5. User Selection

This blood pressure monitor allows you to store the results for 2 indi-

vidual users. In addition, there is a guest mode, in which the results

are not stored.

Alternating between 2 users or the guest mode

1. While the unit is switched off keep the time button 6pressed for

3 seconds until the user symbol AP or AQ starts to flash.

2. Press the M-button 5to change between user 1, user 2 and the

guest mode.

3. Confirm the selection by pressing the start button 1.

6. Data Memory

At the end of each measurement, this device automatically stores the

result, including date and time.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 5briefly, when the device is switched off. The

display first shows «M» AL and then a value, e.g. «M 17». This

means that there are 17 values in the memory. The device then

switches to the last stored result.

Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing

the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored value

to another.

The user symbol AP or AQ indicates which user's memory is being

displayed. To change the user, please follow the instructions above.

In the guest mode no memories are stored or displayed.

Memory full



Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99 memo-

ries per user is not exceeded.

When the 99 memory is full, the

oldest value is automatically overwritten with the 100th

value.

Values should be evaluated by a doctor before the

memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values of an individual user

The following procedure applies for the selected user (AP or AQ).

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored

values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been switched

off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release the button. To

permanently clear the memory, press the M-button while «CL» is

flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF

button 1until «M» AL is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by

pressing the M-button 5.

7BP W90 EN

7. Setting the Alarm Function

This device allows you to set 2 alarm times at which an alarm signal

will then be triggered. This can be a useful aid, for instance as a

reminder to take medication.

1. To set an alarm time, press the time button 6(the device must

have been switched off beforehand) and immediately afterwards

the M-button 5and hold both down until the bell symbol AK

appears in the top left of the display. Then release both buttons.

The flashing «1» in the display indicates that the first alarm time

can now be set.

2. Press the time button to set the hours – the hour display flashes

and pressing the M-button allows you to set the alarm hour. To

confirm, press the time button.

3. The minute display will now flash. The minutes can be set using

the M-button. To confirm, press the time button again.

4. The bell symbol will now flash. Use the M-button to select whether

the alarm time is to be active (bell) or inactive (crossed-out bell).

To confirm, press the time button.



To set a second alarm time, proceed as above but if the «

» flashes,

press the M-button to select «

» and confirm with the time button.



An active alarm time is indicated by the bell symbol in the display.



The alarm will sound at the set time every day.



To switch-off the alarm when it is sounding, press the ON/OFF

button 1.



To permanently switch off the alarm, proceed as above and select the

crossed-out bell symbol. This will then disappear from the display.



The alarm times must be re-entered each time the batteries are

replaced.

8. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AO

will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery

displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you

should obtain replacement batteries.

Flat battery – replacement

When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AO will flash as soon

as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot take

any further measurements and must replace the batteries.

1. Open the battery compartment 3by pulling off the cap.

2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the

symbols in the compartment.

3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in «Section 2.».



The memory retains all values although date and time (and

possibly also set alarm times) must be reset – the year number

therefore flashes automatically after the batteries are replaced.

Which batteries and which procedure?

Use 2 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AAA alkaline batteries.

Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.

Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a

prolonged period.

Using rechargeable batteries

You can also operate this device using rechargeable batteries.

Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.

Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat

battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the

device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a

result of low use of the device, even when switched off).

Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not intend

to use the device for a week or more.

Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.

Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the

information regarding charging, care and durability.

9. Error Messages

If an error occurs during the measurement, the measurement is inter-

rupted and an error message, e.g. «ERR 3», is displayed.
