Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology specically detects the existence of pulse arrhythmia,
including atrial brillation (AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions (PC).
Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and thus
early diagnosis is of paramount importance. The PARR technology detects arrhythmia dur-
ing regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and
measurement prolongation. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis a specic pulse arrhyth-
mia diagnosis is provided with PARR.
Note: The PARR detection of AFib and PC is provided with a clinically proven high detection
probability [1]. However, the sensitivity and specicity is limited, thus most, but not all
pulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed. In certain patients with uncommon
clinical conditions the PARR technology may not be able to detect pulse arrhyth-
mia. This partly comes from the fact that some arrhythmia can only be found with an
ECG diagnosis, but not with a pulse diagnosis. Thus PARR is not meant to replace any
medical ECG diagnosis by your doctor. PARR provides an early detection of certain
pulse arrhythmia, which inevitably need to be presented to your doctor in charge.
Remark: [1] Clinical Investigation of PARR - A new Oscillometric Pulse Arrhythmia Type Dis-
criminating Detection Technology.
The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) do not contract, but quiver and thus blood
is driven irregularly and with lower eciency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregular
heartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly instable heart rate.
This condition is associated with a higher risk for the formation of cardiac blood clots.
Amongst others, they may elevate the risk of brain strokes. Beside this atrial brillation
may contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute heart failure condition and may be
associated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10 % - 20 %
percent of patients who suer from an ischemic stroke also suer from atrial brillation.
Extra abnormal heartbeats generated in irregular excitation sites of your heart, either in the
atria (PAC), the ventricle (PVC) or the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra beats
may disrupt your regular rhythm, they may come in early or cause a signicant pauses re-
garding your perceivable pulse. This is called palpitations, which can be felt in your chest.
They may occur as isolated, single events, as a series of irregular pulses or can be distrib-
uted all over your pulse beats. If they are not related to mental stress, or acute demanding
physical load, they may be a marker for a multitude of cardiac disorders. Some of these
disorders go along with an elevated risk prole for ischemic events, either in the heart (e,g,
coronary heart disease) or outside the heart, e.g. an elevated risk for a stroke. Some PCs may
indicate on valvular or myocardial disorders and become very important if a myocarditis
(infection of the heart muscle) is suspected. This unit is able to detect premature contrac-
tions. The ARR and PC icons ( ) are displayed right after the measurement if premature
contractions have been detected.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the PC icon
occurs newly for several times, or, if your PC is known to your doctor, but the inci-
dence of PC readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all
required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
Once the occurrence of pulse arrhythmia has been detected in the course of your blood
pressure measurement, the icon ARR is displayed. In the case, that the found pulse arrhyth-
mia can be specied by the PARR technology, the ARR icon is accompanied by the speci-
cally detected type of arrhythmia, e.g. PC or AFib. Once the kind of found pulse arrhythmia
cannot be safely determined by PARR, the device is displaying ARR without any additional
pulse arrhythmia type icon.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the ARR icon
occurs newly for several times, or, if your ARR is known to your doctor, but the inci-
dence of ARR readings changes over time. This is independent whether the ARR icon
is specied by another pulse arrhythmia icon or not. Your doctor will then be able to
provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
The PARR technology is able to detect and display combined pulse arrhythmia ndings.

This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cu starts
inating, the device will establish a baseline cu pressure equivalent to the air pressure.
This unit will automatically determine the appropriate ination level based on pressure
oscillations, followed by cu deation.
During the deation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure os-
cillations and thereby determine your actual the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood
pressure, and pulse rate.
This Blood Pressure Monitor complies with the European regulations and bears the CE
mark “CE 1639”. The quality of the device has been veried and conforms to the provisions
of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive), Annex I essential require-
ments and applied harmonized standards.

Atrial brillation most often initially occurs with temporary periods of arrhythmia and may
progress to a permanent state of this disorder in the course of time. No matter, whether
you intent to safeguard yourself from an undetected AFib state, or you measure during an
ongoing period of active atrial brillation, or you measure in between periods of AFib, the
PARR technology can be applied at any of these conditions. This unit is able to detect Atrial
brillation (AFib). The ARR and AFib icons ( ) are displayed right after the measure-
ment if Atrial Fibrillation was detected.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the AFib icon
occurs newly for several times, or, if your AFib is known to your doctor, but the inci-
dence of AFib readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide

may contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute heart failure condition and may be
associated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10 % - 20 %
percent of patients who suer from an ischemic stroke also suer from atrial brillation.
Extra abnormal heartbeats generated in irregular excitation sites of your heart, either in the
atria (PAC), the ventricle (PVC) or the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra beats
may disrupt your regular rhythm, they may come in early or cause a signicant pauses re-
garding your perceivable pulse. This is called palpitations, which can be felt in your chest.
They may occur as isolated, single events, as a series of irregular pulses or can be distrib-
uted all over your pulse beats. If they are not related to mental stress, or acute demanding
physical load, they may be a marker for a multitude of cardiac disorders. Some of these
disorders go along with an elevated risk prole for ischemic events, either in the heart (e,g,
coronary heart disease) or outside the heart, e.g. an elevated risk for a stroke. Some PCs may
indicate on valvular or myocardial disorders and become very important if a myocarditis
(infection of the heart muscle) is suspected. This unit is able to detect premature contrac-
tions. The ARR and PC icons ( ) are displayed right after the measurement if premature
contractions have been detected.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the PC icon
occurs newly for several times, or, if your PC is known to your doctor, but the inci-
dence of PC readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all
required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
Once the occurrence of pulse arrhythmia has been detected in the course of your blood
pressure measurement, the icon ARR is displayed. In the case, that the found pulse arrhyth-
mia can be specied by the PARR technology, the ARR icon is accompanied by the speci-
cally detected type of arrhythmia, e.g. PC or AFib. Once the kind of found pulse arrhythmia
cannot be safely determined by PARR, the device is displaying ARR without any additional
pulse arrhythmia type icon.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the ARR icon
occurs newly for several times, or, if your ARR is known to your doctor, but the inci-
dence of ARR readings changes over time. This is independent whether the ARR icon
is specied by another pulse arrhythmia icon or not. Your doctor will then be able to
provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

Atrial brillation most often initially occurs with temporary periods of arrhythmia and may
progress to a permanent state of this disorder in the course of time. No matter, whether
you intent to safeguard yourself from an undetected AFib state, or you measure during an
ongoing period of active atrial brillation, or you measure in between periods of AFib, the
PARR technology can be applied at any of these conditions. This unit is able to detect Atrial
brillation (AFib). The ARR and AFib icons ( ) are displayed right after the measure-
ment if Atrial Fibrillation was detected.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the AFib icon
occurs newly for several times, or, if your AFib is known to your doctor, but the inci-
dence of AFib readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide
all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
Note: The presence of a cardiac pacemaker may impair the AFib detection by PARR.

Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology specically detects the existence of pulse arrhythmia,
including atrial brillation (AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions (PC).
Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and thus
early diagnosis is of paramount importance. The PARR technology detects arrhythmia dur-
ing regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and
measurement prolongation. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis a specic pulse arrhyth-
mia diagnosis is provided with PARR.
Note: The PARR detection of AFib and PC is provided with a clinically proven high detection
probability [1]. However, the sensitivity and specicity is limited, thus most, but not all
pulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed. In certain patients with uncommon
clinical conditions the PARR technology may not be able to detect pulse arrhyth-
mia. This partly comes from the fact that some arrhythmia can only be found with an
ECG diagnosis, but not with a pulse diagnosis. Thus PARR is not meant to replace any
medical ECG diagnosis by your doctor. PARR provides an early detection of certain
pulse arrhythmia, which inevitably need to be presented to your doctor in charge.
Remark: [1] Clinical Investigation of PARR - A new Oscillometric Pulse Arrhythmia Type Dis-
criminating Detection Technology.
The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) do not contract, but quiver and thus blood
is driven irregularly and with lower eciency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregular
heartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly instable heart rate.
This condition is associated with a higher risk for the formation of cardiac blood clots.
Amongst others, they may elevate the risk of brain strokes. Beside this atrial brillation
may contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute heart failure condition and may be
associated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10 % - 20 %

Cautionary Notes
Specications
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant uctuation
throughout the day.
• Blood pressure recording can be aected by the position of the user, his or her
physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour
after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caeine, or
smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as
measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should
not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken.
• Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet at on the oor during meas-
urement.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or
hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a
warm location for at least one hour before using it.
• Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
1. Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1, memory zone 2 or guest
mode. After a memory zone is selected, press the ON/OFF/START key to reset the
monitor so it can start measurement in the chosen memory zone.
2. Press the ON/OFF/START key. All digits will light up, checking the display func-
tions. The checking procedure will be completed in 2 seconds.
3. After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking “0”. The monitor is ready
to measure and will automatically inate the cu slowly to start measurement.
4. When the measurement is completed, the cu will exhaust the pressure inside.
Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on
the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into the pre-des-
ignated memory zone.
5. In order to enhance the probability of pulse arrhythmia detection by the PARR
technology, measurement repetitions are recommended.
6. If Bluetooth® has been activated, the data is automatically transferred to the App
after successful completion of the pairing process, please see Data Transfer via
Bluetooth®.
This blood pressure monitor will re-inate automatically to higher pressure if the
system detects that more pressure is needed to take a blood pressure measure-
ment.
Note: 1. This monitor automatically switches o approximately 1 minute after last
key operation.
2. To interrupt the measurement, simply press the ON/OFF/START key; the cu will
deate immediately.
Measurement Procedures
3. Center the tube over the middle of the arm. Press the hook and loop material together
securely. Allow room for 2 ngers to t between the cu and your arm. Position the
artery mark (Ø) over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) (Fig. ,). Note: Locate
the main artery by pressing with 2 ngers approximately 2 cm above the bend of your
elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.
4. Plug in the cu connecting tube into the unit (Fig. ).
5. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cu is at the same height as your heart.
Make sure the tube is not kinked (Fig. ).
6. This cu is suitable for your use if the arrow falls within the solid color line as shown on
the right (Fig. ). If the arrow falls outside the solid color line, you will need a cu with
other circumferences. Contact your local dealer for additional size cus.

Cautionary Notes
Specications
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant uctuation
throughout the day.
• Blood pressure recording can be aected by the position of the user, his or her
physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour
after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caeine, or
smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as
measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should
not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken.
• Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet at on the oor during meas-
urement.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or
hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a
warm location for at least one hour before using it.
• Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
1. Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1, memory zone 2 or guest
mode. After a memory zone is selected, press the ON/OFF/START key to reset the
monitor so it can start measurement in the chosen memory zone.
2. Press the ON/OFF/START key. All digits will light up, checking the display func-
tions. The checking procedure will be completed in 2 seconds.
3. After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking “0”. The monitor is ready
to measure and will automatically inate the cu slowly to start measurement.
4. When the measurement is completed, the cu will exhaust the pressure inside.
Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on
the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into the pre-des-
ignated memory zone.
5. In order to enhance the probability of pulse arrhythmia detection by the PARR
technology, measurement repetitions are recommended.
6. If Bluetooth® has been activated, the data is automatically transferred to the App
after successful completion of the pairing process, please see Data Transfer via
Bluetooth®.
This blood pressure monitor will re-inate automatically to higher pressure if the
system detects that more pressure is needed to take a blood pressure measure-
ment.
Note: 1. This monitor automatically switches o approximately 1 minute after last
key operation.
2. To interrupt the measurement, simply press the ON/OFF/START key; the cu will
deate immediately.
Measurement Procedures
3. Center the tube over the middle of the arm. Press the hook and loop material together
securely. Allow room for 2 ngers to t between the cu and your arm. Position the
artery mark (Ø) over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) (Fig. ,). Note: Locate
the main artery by pressing with 2 ngers approximately 2 cm above the bend of your
elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.
4. Plug in the cu connecting tube into the unit (Fig. ).
5. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cu is at the same height as your heart.
Make sure the tube is not kinked (Fig. ).
6. This cu is suitable for your use if the arrow falls within the solid color line as shown on
the right (Fig. ). If the arrow falls outside the solid color line, you will need a cu with
other circumferences. Contact your local dealer for additional size cus.

you attempt to adjust anything inside the device. If you have any problems, please contact
the store or the doctor from whom you purchased this unit.
7. As a common issue for all blood pressure monitors using the oscillometric measurement
function, the device may have diculty in determining the proper blood pressure for us-
ers diagnosed with diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney problems, or for users suf-
fered from stroke, or for unconscious users.
8. This unit is able to detect common arrhythmia (atrial or ventricular premature beats or
atrial brillation). The ARR, AFib and PC icons are displayed after the measurement if Atrial
Fibrillation and Premature Contraction was detected during the measurement. If ARR,
AFib or PC icons are displayed, you are advised to wait for a while and take another meas-
urement. It is strongly recommended that you consult your physician if the ARR, AFib or
PC icons appear often.
9. While the given device is able to detect specic pulse arrhythmia, the measurement ac-
curacy of the blood pressure meter may be impaired with the occurrence of pulse ar-
rhythmia.
10. To stop operation at any time, press the ON/OFF/START key, and the air in the cu will be
rapidly exhausted.
11. Once the ination reaches 300 mmHg, the unit will start deating rapidly for safety rea-
sons.
12. Please note that this unit can be a home healthcare product, but it is not intended to
serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional.
13. Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health problem or disease. Meas-
urement results are for reference only. Consult a healthcare professional for interpreta-
tion of pressure measurements. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any medi-
cal problem. Do not change your medications without the advice of your physician or
healthcare professional.
14. Electromagnetic interference: Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic elds in the
direct vicinity of the device (e.g.mobile telephones, microwave ovens) or less than 1,5
km from AM, FM or TV broadcast antennas. These may lead to temporary impairment of
measurement accuracy.
15. Dispose of device, batteries, components and accessories according to local regulations.
16. This monitor may not meet its performance specication if stored or used outside tem-
perature and humidity ranges specied in Specications.
17. Please note that when inating, the functions of the limb in question may be impaired.
18. During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation must not be stopped for an
unnecessarily long time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cu from the arm.
19. Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of the cu line.
20. Do not allow sustained pressure in the cu or frequent measurements. The resulting re-
striction of the blood ow may cause injury.
21. Ensure that the cu is not placed on an arm in which the arteries or veins are undergoing
medical treatment, e.g. intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
22. Do not apply the cu on the side, where a mastectomy has been performed in your
patient history.
23. Do not place the cu over wounds as this may cause further injury.
24. Only ever use the cus provided with the monitor or original replacement cus. Other-
wise erroneous results will be recorded.
25. Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should therefore store the batteries and products
