1. Introduction

1.1. Features of the Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor

This blood pressure monitor (with Irregular Heartbeat Detection) is a fully

automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use on the wrist.

This monitor enables very fast and reliable measurement of your systolic

and diastolic blood pressure as well as pulse by way of the oscillometric

method of measuring. This device offers a very high and clinically tested

measurement accuracy and is designed for maximum user-friendliness.

Before using it please read through this instruction manual carefully and

keep it in a safe place. For further questions on the subject of blood pres-

sure and its measurement please contact your doctor.

Attention!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

Self-measurement means control not diagnosis or treatment. Your

values must always be discussed with your physician. You should never

alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your

physician. The pulse display is not suitable for checking the functioning of

heart pacemakers!!

In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this

instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with your

doctor.

Electromagnetic Interference: This device contains sensitive electronic

components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct

vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones microwave ovens etc.). These

can lead to temporary impairment of the monitor’s

measuring accuracy.

2. Important information about blood pressure and its measurement

2.1 How does high/low blood 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 way of 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

must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular 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 through continual damage to the blood vessels in you

body. Should your systolic blood pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and

159mmHg and/or your diastolic blood pressure values lie between 90 mmHg

and 99mmHg. 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 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 independently alter the drug doses prescribed

by your physician. Which values are normal?

The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without reagard to

age) have been established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health JNC7 2003.

Category Systolic Diastolic

(mmHg) (mmHg)

Normal <120 and <80

Self-Check

Pre-Hypertension 120 - 139 or 80 - 89

Stage 1 140 - 159 or 90 - 99

Hypertension

Stage 2 ≥160 or ≥100

Hypertension

☞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

your are suffering from so-called "labile hypertension." Consult your physi-

cian.

• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg

require immediate medical treatment.

* This device is not intended for use on children 12 years of age or

younger.

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

a) Consult your physician.

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 constrictions 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 the common primary (essential) hypertension and secondary

hypertension. Secondary hypertension can be ascribed to specific organ

malfunctions. Please consult your physician for information about the pos-

sible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.

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

blood pressure. These measures must be 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 common salt.

• Avoid fatty foods.

) 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 Irregular Heartbeat Detection

The appearance of the symbol signifies that a certain irregular

heartbeat was detected which could cause cardiovascular disease. This

indicator is only a caution. This blood pressure monitor can detect blood

pressure and pulse rate measurement with specifications even if the

patient is having an irregular heartbeat interval. It is important that you

be relaxed remain still and do not talk during measurements.

Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this

icon frequently.

CAUTION: An irregular heartbeat can be a serious medical condition

requiring medical attention. See your doctor if you have an irregular

heartbeat.

4. Using your Blood Pressure Monitor for the First Time

4.1. Activate the Pre-Installed Batteries

Pull out the protective strip protruding from the battery compartment.

4.2 Setting the date and time

1. After the new batteries are activated the year num-

ber flashes in the display. You can advance the year

by pressing the "M" button. To confirm and then set

the month press the time button.

2. You can now set the month using the “M” button. To

confirm and then set the day press the time button.

3. Please follow the instructions above to set the day

hour and minutes.

4. Once you have set the last minute 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.

5. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement

5.1. Before the measurement:

• Avoid eating smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before

your measurement. These factors influence the measurement result.

Relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmosphere for about ten

minutes before your measurement.

• Always measure on the same wrist (normally left).

• Compare readings at the same time of day since your blood pressure

changes during the course of the day.

5.2. 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 blood pres-

sure. Make sure you are in a comfortable relaxed position and do not

activate any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the mea-

surement. Use a cushion for support if necessary.

• If the wrist artery lies considerably lower (higher) than the heart an

erroneously higher (lower) blood pressure will be measured! (Each

15cm/6" difference in height results in a measurement error

of10mmHg!)

• A loose cuff causes false measurement values.

• With repeated measurements blood can accumulate in the respective

arm which can lead to false results. Correctly executed blood pressure

measurements should therefore first be repeated after a 1 minute

pause or after the arm has been held up in order to allow the accumu-

lated blood to flow away.

5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) Remove all objects and jewelry (e.g.

wristwatch) from the wrist in use. Put the

cuff over the wrist with the monitor face

on the inside of the wrist.

b) The distance between the cuff and the

hand should be approx. 10 mm (1/2").

c) Secure the cuff with the Velcro fastener

so that it lies comfortably and not too

tight. No space should remain between

the cuff and the wrist.
