1. Introduction

1.1. F atur s of your Automatic Blood Pr ssur 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.

Att ntion!

1.2. Important information about s lf-m asur m nt

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 instru-

ment should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

El ctromagn tic int rf r nc :

The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electri-

cal or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g.,

mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These can lead to temporary impair-

ment of the measuring accuracy.

2. Important information on blood pr ssur and its m asur m nt

2.1. How do s high/low blood pr ssur aris ?

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 particula

r diseases.

2.2. Which valu s ar normal?

Blood pressure is too high if your diastolic pressure is above 100 mmHg

and/or your systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, whil at r st. 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. N v r us th r sults of your m asur m nts

to ind p nd ntly alt r th drug dos s pr scrib d by your

physician.

Which valu s ar 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

+ Furth r information

If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but exception-

ally 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 d vic is not int nd d for us on childr n 12 y ars of ag or

young r.

2.3. What can b don if r gular high or low valu s ar obtain d?

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 (arteriosclerosis). 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 differenti-

ate between the common primary (essential) hypertension and second-

ary 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) Pr vious illn ss s

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

• Aft r a pr liminary m dical xamination, do r gular x rcis .

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.

3. Compon nts of your blood pr ssur monitor

a) M asuring unit

b) Wid Rang Cuff:

For arm circumference 22 cm - 42 cm (8.7” - 16.5 ”)

If you ever need to buy a replacement cuff, call

us toll-free at 1-800-568-4147.

Pl as Not :

Arm circumference should be measured with a

measuring tape in the middle of the relaxed

upper arm. Do not force cuff connection into the

opening. Make sure the cuff connection is not pushed into the AC adapter

port. If the cuff is too small, call 1-800-568-4147 for further information.

Use only the included

AC adapter to avoid damaging the unit.

a) Ensure that the AC adapter and cable are

not damaged.

b) Plug the adapter cable into the AC

adapter port on the right side of monitor.

c) Plug the AC adapter into a 110 V power

socket (U.S. or Canada).

d) Test that power is available by pressing

the POWER button.

Not :

No power is taken from the batteries

while the AC adapter is connected to the

instrument.

If the power is interrupted during a

measurement (e.g., by removal of the

adapter from the wall socket), the instru-

ment must be reset by removing the plug

from the instrument.

If you have any questions regarding the AC

adapter, call us at 1-800-568-4147.

4.4. Cuff tub conn ction

Insert the yellow cuff tube connector into the

yellow socket on the left side of the instrument.

4.5. S l ct th us r

This blood pressure monitor is designed to store 99

measurements for each of two users.

B for taking a m asur m nt, b c rtain that

th corr ct us r has b n s l ct d.

User 1: slide the user switch upwards to the User

1 icon

User 2: slide the user switch downwards to the

User 2 icon

4.6. S l ct m asuring mod : standard or

Microlif Av raging Mod (MAM)

This instrument enables you to select either standard

(single measurement) or measurement a

veraging

mode (automatic triple measurement).

a) To select Standard mode, push the switch on the

side of the instrument upward to Position "1."

b) To select Averaging mode, push the switch

downward to Position "3." Note the "MAM" icon

will illuminate on the display.

If you select 1, then only one measurement will be

taken. If you select 3, the unit will inflate and deflate

three times resulting in one final average.

4.7. Microlif Av raging Mod (MAM)

In Microlife Averaging Mode (MAM), three measurements are automati-

cally taken in succession and the result is then automatically analyzed

and displayed. Because your blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a

result determined in this way is more reliable than one produced by a

single measurement.

After pressing the POWER button the selected Microlife Averaging

Mode appears in the display as the MAM symbol.

The bottom, right-hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to

indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently being taken.
