1. Introduction
1.1. Features of the WA-33
Thank you for purchasing the B.Well upper arm blood pressure monitorWA-33. Designed for convenient and easy operation, this device provides fast and
reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate using the oscillometric measurement method.
Your blood pressure is an important parameter that can be used to monitor your health. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a serious health problem that
is frequently found in the modern world. This device enables you to monitor your blood pressure regularly.
TheWA-33 is a fully automatic, digital, upper arm blood pressure measuring device.
• Up-to-date Fuzzy logic technology provides the individual level of cu ination for quick, precise and painless result.
• The Pulse Arrhythmia Detection technology with an audible sound signal which warns about the malfunctions of normal rate and periodicity of
systole during the measurement
• Big 3-line LCD screen with coloured blood pressure indication scale according to European Society of Hypertension (ESH)
• One convenient button with backlight
• Last measurement memory
• ЕА- Сu М – L, for arm circumference 22-42 cm, washable
• Blood pressure level imaging according to European Society of Hypertension (ESH)
• Battery life indicator
• Automatic switch o
• The possibility to use mains adapter
• This device is easy to use and has been proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy.
• Before using theWA-33, read this instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place. For further questions on the subject of blood-pressure and
its measurement, please contact your doctor.
1.2. Important information about self-measurement
• Do not forget: self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values must always be discussed with your doctor. Under no
circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers!
• In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
Electromagnetic interference:
The device contains sensitive electronic components (Microcomputer). Therefore, avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic elds in the direct vicinity of the
device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave cookers).These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy.

2. Important information on the subject of blood-pressure and its measurement
2.1. How does high blood-pressure arise?
The level of blood-pressure is determined in a part of the brain, the so-called circulatory centre, and adapted to the respective situation by way of feedback
via the nervous system.
To adjust the blood-pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered. The latter is eected
by way of ne muscles in the blood vessel walls.
The level of arterial blood-pressure changes periodically during the heart activity: During the «blood ejection» (Systole) the value is maximal (systolic blood-
pressure value), at the end of the heart’s «rest period» (Diastole) minimal (diastolic blood-pressure value).
The blood-pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular diseases.
2.2 Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90mmHg and/or the systolic blood-pressure is over 160mmHg. In this case, please consult
your doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to the associated advancing damage to the blood vessels in your body.
Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140mmHg and 160mmHg and/or the diastolic blood-pressure values lie between 90mmHg and
100mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor. Furthermore, regular self-checks will be necessary.
With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor.
Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is recommended. In this way you can detect possible changes
in your values early and react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of the level of your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-
measurements at specic times of the day. Show these values to your doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to alter independently
the drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
