TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS AND TO MAKE
CORRECT USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING:
•
Consult your physician or pharmacist before starting
to measure your blood pressure.
•
Read and understand all instructions and warnings be-
fore using this device.
•
Like any oscillometric blood pressure measurement de-
vices, certain medical conditions can affect the meas-
urement accuracy, among others:
– disorder of the cardiac rhythm
– very low blood pressure
– patients in shock
– patients with very low blood perfusion
– diabetes
– vessel anomalities
people with electrical implants, such as a cardiac
pacemaker
– women who are pregnant.
•
Due to their condition the oscillometric measurement
method can produce incorrect readings. This repre-
sents a risk for your health, since values may be inter-
preted incorrectly. Always consult your physician to
determine what will be suitable for you.
•
This product does not and is not intended to provide a
medical diagnosis. Measurements results are for refer-
ence only. Self-diagnosis and treatment, e.g. regarding
medication, using measured results represent a risk for
your health. Always consult with a licensed physician
for determination of appropriate medication and dos-
age thereof. Follow the instructions of your physician
or licensed healthcare provider. If you have or suspect
that you have a medical problem, promptly consult your
physician. If you have an emergency please call 911
immediately.
•
Only a physician or a trained health care professional
who is familiar with your medical history is able to ac-
curately interpret your blood pressure measurements.
Consult your physician before starting blood pressure
monitoring.
•
This product is not intended to serve as a substitute
for the advice of a physician or medical professional.
This product is not intended to substitute for regular
medical checkups. Contact your physician for specific
information about your blood pressure.
•
Please note that technically related measuring toler-
ances are possible. Please see section ‘10. Technic-
al Specifications’ for details. NOTE: A single meas-
urement does not provide an accurate indication of
your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to meas-
ure your blood pressure at the same time each day
for consistency.
5
•
Any cuff related blood pressure measurement in high
repetition rates, can lead to severe measurement side
effects, e.g.
– any nerv compression with temporary arm/hand par-
alysis
– the release of an arterial or venous thrombus, which
can cause a life threatening situation.
•
Please contact your physician about the specific risks
of cuff pressure in your specific case.
•
The ’irregular heartbeat’ function does not replace a
cardiac examination, but may help to detect potential
pulse irregularities at an early stage. Always consult
your physician to determine what will be suitable for
you.
•
The ’irregular heartbeat’ function is not designed for
diagnosing or treating an arrhythmic disorder. Arrhyth-
mia can only be ascertained by a licensed physician.
•
The WHO chart is not intended to replace a medical
diagnosis. This chart is only a reference for different
classifications of blood pressure.
•
If you notice abnormal or suspicious variations in blood
pressure measurements, consult your physician im-
mediately.
•
Women who underwent a breast or axillar lymph node
removal operation should consult a physician or li-
censed healthcare provider before starting blood pres-
sure measurements.

•
U
se the unit consistent with the instruction provided in
this manual.
Advice on use
•
For consistency, always measure your blood pressure at
the same time each day.
•
Always wait at least 5 minutes between measurements
to allow the blood circulation in your arm to return to nor-
mal. You may need to increase the wait time depending
on your individual physiological characteristics. Because
of normal physiologic changes and the many external
factors influencing blood pressure, it is unusual to obtain
identical blood pressure measurements, even when taken
a few minutes apart. Speak with your physician to de-
termine what is affecting your blood pressure and which
variation may be seen as normal in your case.
•
When performing multiple measurements on an individ-
ual, wait five minutes between each measurement.
•
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eat-
ing, drinking, smoking or exercising. You should not be
physically tired or exhausted while taking measurement.
•
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the results.
•
Measurements are for your information only – they are no
substitute for a medical examination. Discuss the meas-
urements with your doctor and never base any medic-
al decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their admin-
istration).
•
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns,
pregnant women or patients with pre-eclampsia. Con-
sult your doctor before using the blood pressure monitor
during pregnancy.
10
•
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pres-
sure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as
well as chills or shaking.
•
For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,
keeping long-term records is recommended.
•
To minimize measurement variations due to physical ac-
tivity, rest at least 5 minutes before measuring your blood
pressure (or 15 minutes after strenuous activity).
•
Stress raises blood pressure.
•
Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed environ-
ment at room temperature.
Battery Handling Safety Precautions
•

1. Getting to know your instrument
The upper arm blood pressure monitor is used for non-inva-
sive measurement and monitoring of adults’ arterial blood
pressure. This allows you to quickly and easily measure your
blood pressure and to display the last recorded measure-
ment. The values determined are classified and graphically
evaluated according to WHO guidelines.
Blood pressure measurements determined by this mon-
itor are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer
using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the
limits prescribed by the U.S. Department of Health and Hu-
man Service (World Health Organization; WHO).
It is recommended to check the performance every 5 years
or after repair. Please contact customer service.

6. Measuring blood pressure
6.1 Positioning cuff
NOTE:
Always properly position the Arm Cuff on the arm at heart
level, according to the following instructions.
Fit the cuff round your bare left
upper arm. Do not place the arm
cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the
blood pressure monitor will not
be able to take a proper meas-
urement. Blood circulation in the
arm should not be restricted by
tight clothing or other objects.
The cuff should be placed on the
upper arm so that the lower edge
is 0.8 in to 1.2 in (2 to 3 cm) above
the bend of the elbow and above
the artery. The tube should be in
line with the centre of the palm.
Now place the free end of the
cuff snugly, but not too tightly,
around the arm, and fix it with the
Velcro fastener. The cuff should
be fitted tight enough to allow just
two fingers to fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the
socket for the cuff attachment on
the left side of the unit. Make sure
it is inserted securely in the main
unit and that there are no kinks in
the cuff tubing.
Important: This device should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff included with the device is suitable
for an upper arm circumference of 8.7 to 16.5 in (22 42
cm). Replacement cuffs from other models cannot be
used with this model. Doing so, will result in inaccurate
readings or error messages.
16
•
I
n order not to distort the result, it is important to keep
still during the measurement and not talk. The most pre-
cise measurement results are obtained if you strive for
a relaxed measurement situation. You may close your
eyes and breathe calmly during the measurement and
don’t cross your legs.
•
P
lease note that any muscle movement during inflation
or deflation can cause measurement error.
6.2 General notes

7. Evaluating results
NOTE:
A single measurement does not provide an accurate indica-
tion of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your
blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
7.1 Irregular heartbeat symbol
This symbol indicates that certain heartbeat/pulse ir-
regularities were detected during the measurement.
NOTE:
• Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the
measurement can result in the appearance of this symbol.
•
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon
is
displayed after the measurement. Please note that you
should rest at least 5 minutes between measurements
and not talk or move during the measurement. If the icon
continues to be displayed in subsequent readings, we
recommend you to consult your physician in order to de-
termine if it is cause for concern. Do not try to interpret
readings or attempt to treat any condition yourself. Al-
ways follow the guidance of a health professional. If you
have an emergency call 911 immediately.
