Intended Use

The blood pressure monitor is intended for the fully automatic, non-invasive measurement of arterial blood pressure and pulse values on the upper arm. It is designed for self-measurement by adults in the home environment.

Target Group

The blood pressure measurement is suitable for adult users whose upper arm circumference is within the range printed on the cuff.

Clinical Benefits

The user can record their blood pressure and pulse values quickly and easily using the device. The recorded values are classified according to internationally applicable guidelines and evaluated graphically. Furthermore, the device can detect any irregular heartbeats that occur during measurement and inform the user via a symbol on the display. The device saves the recorded measurements and can also output average values of previous measurements. The recorded data can provide healthcare service providers with support during the diagnosis and treatment of blood pressure problems and therefore plays a part in the long-term monitoring of the user's health.

Usage

Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring. The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm. Circulation in the arm must not be restricted by tight clothing or similar.

Attaching the Cuff

1. Place the cuff onto the bare upper arm. Press the bracket together using your fingers in such a way that the area where the upper arm should be placed opens.
2. The cuff must be placed on the upper arm so that the bottom edge is positioned 2–3 cm above the elbow and over the artery. The line should point to the centre of the palm.
3. Close the hook-and-loop fastener. In doing so, the cuff should be fastened so that two fingers fit under the cuff.
4. Now fold the protruding part down. Secure the protruding part using the additional hook-and-loop fastener on the cuff.
5. Now insert the cuff line into the connection for the cuff connector.

Adopting the Correct Posture

• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, always make sure to rest for about 5 minutes! Otherwise, deviations can occur.
• You can measure while sitting or lying. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you are sitting comfortably, with your arms and back leaning on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain still during the measurement and not to speak.

• Wait at least 1 minute before taking another measurement!

  

Selecting Memory

Press the SET setting button. Select the relevant user memory (1 or 2) by pressing the -/+ function buttons. You have 2 memories, each with 100 memory spaces, to enable the separate storage of measurements for 2 different people. Confirm your selection with the START/STOP button or wait for 3 seconds. Your selection is then automatically stored.

Evaluating Results

Cardiac Arrhythmia

This device can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm when measuring and, if necessary, indicates this after the measurement with the corresponding symbol. This can be an indicator of arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heartbeats, pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical makeup, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be determined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol is shown on the display after the measurement has been taken, repeat the measurement. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your doctor's instructions.

Risk Indicator

The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance with the relevant blood pressure classification table. However, these standard values serve only as a general guideline, as individual blood pressure varies in different people and different age groups, etc. It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is classified as dangerous. The bar chart on the display and the scale on the device show which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g. systole in the High Normal category and diastole in the Normal category), the graphical classification on the device always shows the higher category. For the example given, this would be High Normal.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Clean the device and cuff carefully using only a slightly damp cloth.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
• Under no circumstances hold the device and cuff under water, as this can cause liquid to enter and damage the device and cuff.
• If you store the device and cuff, do not place heavy objects on the device and cuff. Remove the batteries. The cuff line should not be bent sharply.
