1. Introduction

1.1. Features of your Premium Blood Pressure Monitor, ID # 3AX1-4U-LF

The blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring

device for use on the wrist. This enables very fast and reliable measurement of

systolic and diastolic blood pressures as well as the pulse through the

oscillometric measuring method. The device offers excellent accuracy proven in

clinical studies and has been designed for ease of use.

Before using, please read 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.

Caution!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

•Self-measurement means knowledge, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual

values must always be discussed with your doctor.You should never alter

the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.

• The pulse reading is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart

pacemakers!

• Clinical trials have shown that wrist measurements can reach similar

accuracy to upper arm measurements. However, some individuals may get a

different result between both methods. Therefore, we generally recommend

to compare the readings of this device to data obtained by your doctor.

• Make sure you keep the device at heart level during measurement to avoid a

user accuracy error.

Electromagnetic interference

The device contains sensitive electronic components. Therefore, avoid strong

electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile

telephones, microwave cookers). These can lead to temporaryimpairment of the

measuring accuracy.

2. Important information about blood pressure and its measurement

2.1 How does high or low blood pressure arise?

Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of your brain

and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system.

To adjust blood pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart (Pulse), as well as

the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is affected by fine

muscles in the blood vessel walls. Your level of arterial blood pressure changes

periodically during heart activity. During the "blood ejection" (Systole), the value is

highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the heart’s "rest period" (Diastole)

pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value). Your blood pressure values should lie

within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular diseases.

2.2 Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is dangerously high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or

your systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this case, please

consult your physician immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health

through continual damage to the blood vessels in you body.If your systolic blood

pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and 160mmHg and/or your diastolic blood

pressure values lie between 90 mmHg and 95mmHg consult your physician. Regular

self-checks will be necessary. If you have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e.,

systolic values under 105mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your

physician. Even with normal blood pressurevalues, a regular self-check with your blood

pressure monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early

and react appropriately. If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood

pressure, keep a record of values along with time of day and date. Show these values

to your physician. Never use the results of your measurements to independently

alter the drug doses prescribed by your physician.

The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age) have

been established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health JNC7, 2003.

☞Further information

•If your values are mostly normal 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." Consult your physician.

•Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require

immediate medical treatment.

2.3 What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?

a) Consult your physician.

b) Increased blood pressurevalues (various forms of hypertension) are associated with

considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body may be

endangered due to narrowing caused by deposits in the vessel walls

(Arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain,

muscles) can result. Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with

increased blood pressure values.

c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between

common primary(essential) hypertension, and secondaryhypertension. Secondary

hypertension can be ascribed to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your

physician for information about the possible origins of your own high blood pressure.

d) There are measures you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood

pressure. These measures should include permanent lifestyle changes.

1) Eating habits:

•Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. See your doctor for your

ideal weight.

•Avoid excessive consumption of salt.

•Avoid fatty and fried foods.

2) Previous illnesses

•Consistently follow all medical instructions for treating illness such as:

diabetes (diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes), fat metabolism disorder, and

gout.

3) Habits

•Give up smoking completely.

•Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol.

•Restrict your caffeine consumption (coffee, tea and chocolate).

4) Your physical condition

•After a medical examination, and with your doctor’s approval and direction,

exercise.

•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 physician before beginning your exercise routine. You must

receive advice regarding the type and extent of exercise that is

appropriate for you.

2.4 Life Fitness AveragingMode Technology™

Life Fitness AveragingMode Technology™ is a new concept for optimum reliability in

measurement of blood pressure. A single measurement is rarely your real result. An

average of three readings is medically demonstrated to provide the most accurate

result. With the push of a single button, the Life Fitness AveragingMode Technology™

blood pressure monitor takes three consecutive measurements and calculates the

average.

3. Components of your blood pressure monitor

The illustration below shows your blood pressure monitors key features:

This wrist cufffits wrist circumference of 5.3” to 7.67” (13.5cm to 19.5 cm).

4. Using the blood pressure monitor

4.1. Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, insertthe

batteries.

1. Remove the cover as illustrated (A).

2. Lay the clear plastic strip (B)inside the battery

compartment, and insert 2 x size AAA 1.5V

batteries (C), observing the indicated polarity

according to the markings on the cuff (D).

Caution!

•

After the low batterywarning appears, the device

is disabled until the batteries have been replaced.

•

If the battery warning appears in the display, the

batteries are discharged and must be replaced by

new ones.

•

Use AAA Long-Life or Alkaline 1.5V Batteries. The

use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended.

•

If the blood pressure monitor is left unused for long

periods, remove the batteries from the device.
