1. Intro uction

1.1. Features of your Touch Screen Bloo Pressure Monitor

Your blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring

device for use by adults on the upper arm at home or in your doctor’s/nurse’s office. It

enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure

as well as the pulse by way of the oscillometric method. This device offers clinically

proven accuracy and has been designed to be user friendly.

Before using please read this instruction manual carefully and then keep it in a safe

place. Please contact your doctor for further questions on the subject of blood pressure

and its measurement.

Attention!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

• 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 irregular heartbeat measurements made with this instrument should

only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

Electromagnetic interference:

The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electro-

magnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones microwave

ovens). These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy.

2. Important information on bloo pressure an its measurement

2.1. How oes high/low bloo pressure arise?

Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the 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).

Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particu-

r diseases.

2.2. Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is too high if your diastolic pressure is above 100 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 due to

continual damage to the blood vessels in your body.

If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 159 mmHg and/or

the diastolic blood pressure values are between 90 mmHg and 99 mmHg consult your

physician. Regular self-checks are necessary.

If you have blood pressure values that are too low (i.e. systolic values under 105

mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg) consult your physician.

Even with normal blood pressure values 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 in epen ently alter the rug

oses prescribe by your physician.

Which values are normal?

The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (in adults) have been

established by the National Institutes of Health JNC7 2003.

Category Systolic Diastolic

(mmHg) (mmHg)

Normal <120 and <80

Pre-Hypertension 120-139 or 80-89

Hypertension

Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99

Stage 2 Hypertension ≥160 or ≥100

+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 doctor.

• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120 mmHg require

immediate medical treatment.

This evice is not inten e for use on chil ren 12 years of age or younger.

2.3. What can be one if regular high or low values are obtaine ?

a) Consult your doctor.

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

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

endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclero-

sis). A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart brain muscles) can result

from arteriosclerosis. 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

the common primary (essential) hypertension and secondary hypertension. The latter

group can be ascribed to specific organ 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 to reduce and even prevent high blood

pressure. These measures must be permane nt 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 common salt.

• Avoid fatty foods.

2) Previous illnesses

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

• Diabetes (diabetes mellitus)

• Fat metabolism disorder

• Gout

3) Habits

• Give up smoking completely.

• Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol.

• Restrict your caffeine consumption (e.g. coffee).

4) Physical constitution

• After a preliminary me ical examination, o regular 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 doctor

before beginning your exercise routine. You must receive advice regarding the type

and extent of exercise that is appropriate for you.
