Proper use This device is intended for use in dry, indoor areas only. The device is only intended for private use and not for clinical or commercial use. Using the device under extreme environmental conditions may damage it. 9 Frequently Asked Questions What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the aterties as blood is pumped through the circulatory system and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The higher the pressure, the harder the heart has to work to supply blood to the vital organs in the body. What are systolic and diastolic values? With every heartbeat, blood pressure fluctuates between a maximum value (systolic), when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the circulatory system, and a minimum value when the heart expands and fills up with blood again (diastolic). 10 What is High Blood Pressure and how is it controlled? High Blood Pressure, also called by its medical term Hypertension, is an abnormally high arterial blood pressure. If left unattended, it can cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack. Blood pressure can be higher than usual if parts of the circulatory system are restricted, diseased or abnormal in other ways High Blood Pressure can be controlled by altering one’s lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with medication under a doctor’s supervision. To prevent hypertension or to keep it under control: • Do not smoke • Exercise regularly • Reduce salt and fat intake • Have regular physical checkups • Maintain proper weight 11 How does the blood pressure monitor work? Your blood pressure monitor contains high quality components for measuring and to display the results on the display using the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. It also measures and displays your pulse. The device measures blood pressure indirectly using a cuff around the wrist. Inflating the cuff presses the arteries together so that no more blood can flow through them. If the pressure in the cuff is then reduced, this creates a relationship between the sleeve pressure and the blood pressure. The device has electronic step valves that can detect even slight changes during the measurement, which can be evened out using the cuff pressure. By reducing the pressure step-by-step, fluctuations in the cuff are recorded by the device and included in the assessment. If no fluctuations are recorded for a step, the air pressure is reduced. Existing fluctuations are assessed at the corresponding step level until they can be determined precisely. 12 Measuring range The blood pressure monitor shows your blood pressure (SYS. = systolic and DIA. = diastolic value), pulse and the time and date on the display. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury). This devices classifies blood pressure measurements based on the definition and standards set by the World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO defines high blood pressure as any measurements above 140 mmHg (systolic) and 90 mmHg (diastolic). Your blood pressure monitor is fitted with a color indicator that makes it easier to assess your measurements. The following summary can further help you to assess the values of your own results: 13 Blood pressure classification according to WHO in mmHg 1 Normal range 2 Borderline high 3 High blood pressure range 14 Range Low blood pressure Normal blood pressure Borderline high blood pressure Mild high blood pressure Moderate high blood pressure Severe high blood pressure Systolic mmHg Diastolic mmHg Indicator Under 90 Under 50 Green 91–129 51–84 Green 130–139 85–89 Green 140–159 90–99 Yellow 160–179 100–109 Orange Over 180 Over 110 Red 15 About your measurement results If the measurements obtained give you cause to be concerned about your health, consult with your physician or licensed health care professional. Do not change your current treatments and/or dosages of medication(s) as a result of your measurements unless you have discussed this first with your doctor! By using your device regularly and recording your results, you can get a clear overview of your blood pressure. Everybody’s blood pressure changes constantly. Fluctuations may be caused by mental and physical factors such as stress, exertion, smoking, caffeine and diet. Blood pressure can also be affected by the time of day, time of year and temperature. In addition, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) can lead to imprecise results. In this case, discuss with your psysical whether you should be using this device. 16 Before taking your blood pressure measurement Note the following points so that the measurement results give a realistic representation of your blood pressure: • Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of the day. • Measure your blood pressure when you are relaxed. Try to rest for fifteen minutes before measuring your blood pressure. • You should not eat, drink, smoke or exercise for at least 60 minutes before taking a measurement. • Do not measure your blood pressure if you feel stressed or tense. • Measure your blood pressure at normal body temperature, but not if you are too hot or cold. • Wait for approximately 5 minutes between measurements. 17 • Please ensure that you always measure your blood pressure under the same conditions! Also note the information about maintaining the correct posture during measurement on page 25. Different measurement conditions can lead to markedly different results. If you have a result that differs greatly from your normal blood pressure measurement, you should take measurement again after a short period of time in order to exclude the factors listed above that can lead to an incorrect measurement. 18 Initial operation Device overview 1 User button 2 Clock button 3 ON/OFF button 4 Battery compartment 5 Cuff 6 Save button 7 WHO color indicator 8 Display 19 Display 1 AVG: Average blood pressure 2 Battery indicator 3 M: Display of stored measurement results 4 Systolic blood pressure 5 Diastolic blood pressure 6 Pulse measurement 7 Pulse display with arrhythmia detection indicator 8 User selection 9 Blood pressure range indicator 10 Cuff inflation symbol 11 Date and time 20 Inserting batteries Remove the cover of the battery compartment at the notch in the direction of the arrow.

Attach the wrist cuff in such a way that it is approx. 1/2” away from the palm of your hand. Wrap the cuff tightly around your wrist so that there is no gap between the cuff and your wrist. Do not put over clothing. Wrap the cuff according to the shape of your wrist. If the cuff is not firmly attached, the pressure will increase and the wrist will become numb. Correct measurement is then no longer possible. If the cuff cannot be attached to your left wrist and therefore it is not possible to measure your left arm, use your right one instead. 24 Correct position for measurement To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. Place your left elbow on a table or other supporting surface so that the the wrist cuff is at heart height. You can also hold your left arm at heart height in front of your chest and support it using your right arm. 25 It is important to measure your blood pressure at home and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure, which can change over the course of a day, is recorded properly. Record your measurements in the chart at the end of this instruction manual and discuss with your physician so that you can receive medical advice based on an evaluation of these measurements. Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that measured at the upper arm. The values may be slightly different because of the different measurement positions and the strength of the blood vessels in the wrist and upper arm. In many cases, the difference for healthy people can be ±10 mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If you already have high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease, hardening of the arteries or poor circulation consult your doctor before using this device to monitor your blood pressure. Attach the wrist cuff to your wrist as described above. Press the clock button . 26 The battery symbol, the blinking cuff inflation symbol and the selected user are shown on the display. Do not move the cuff, your arm or hand muscles during measurement. After a few seconds, the cuff will inflate. When the cuff pressure is stable, the device will start measuring automatically. If you want to stop the measurement, press the ON/OFF button and the cuff will deflates. If you want to repeat a measurement, you should wait at least five minutes. The cuff must be fully deflated. 27 Automatic measurement If the cuff pressure is too low, the device stops measuring and inflates the cuff again. Measurement starts when the correct cuff pressure has been reached. The device also measures your pulse. The value displayed will fall during measurement. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate by itself and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as the pulse and the pulse symbol will appear on the display. The data is automatically saved to the memory bank of the selected user. Arrhythmia detection Normally, the pulse beats with a regular rhythm (rhythmically). When the device detects an abnormal pulse rhythm, the symbol appears on the display. In this case, repeat the measurement. Abnormal pulse rhythms can have different causes. If the pulse is constantly arrhythmic, please consult your physician or healthcare provider. 28 User settings The blood pressure monitor has two memory banks, which allow two different users to save up to 60 measurements each. The device calculates the average value from the last three measurements. Selecting user Press the clock button or user button to switch the device on.
