4. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this

Device

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the

measurement.

2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.

3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recom-

mended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a

patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in

the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be

measured.

4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid

constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not

interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.

5. Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the

cuff).

• Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

• Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.

• The artery mark located on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must

lie over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.

• Support your arm so it is relaxed.

• Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.

6. Switch on the device and wait until «0» appears in the display

and the arrow «» AN starts to flash.

7. Take the pump ball in your free hand (the arm you are not

measuring from) and pump up the cuff. Watch the pressure indi-

cation in the display and pump approx. 40 mmHg higher than

the expected systolic value (the upper value). If you have not

pumped enough, a flashing arrow «» AN will appear telling

you to pump higher.

8. After pumping, the measurement is taken automatically. Relax, do

not move and do not tense your arm muscles until the measure-

ment result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.

9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator AL flashes in the

display.

10.The result, comprising the systolic AT and the diastolic AK

blood pressure and the pulse rate AR is displayed. Note also the

explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.

11.When the measurement has finished, press the quick-acting

discharge valve 8 in order to release any remaining air in the

cuff. Remove the cuff.

12.Switch off the device with ON/OFF button 1. (The monitor

does switch off automatically after approx. 1 min.).

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF

button 1 until «M» AP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by

pressing the M-button 3.



You can interrupt the measurement at any time by pressing

the quick-acting discharge valve 8 (e.g. if you feel uneasy

or notice an unpleasant pressure sensation).

5. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for

early Detection

This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were

detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may

deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-

ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the

symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with

measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.

Please show your doctor the following explanation:

6. Appearance of the Hypertension Indicator

This symbol AL flashes at the end of the measurement, if either

your systolic or diastolic blood pressure is higher than the recom-

mended values in accordance with the international guidelines

(ESH, AHA, JSH).

Systolic blood pressure: > 135 mmHg

Diastolic blood pressure: > 85 mmHg

7. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the device is switched off. The

display first shows the last stored result.

Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the

Arrhythmia indicator

This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also

analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The device is

clinically tested.

The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if

pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol

appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on

measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to

seek medical advice.

This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves

to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
