3. Proper use
Intended use
The blood pressure monitor is intended for the fully auto-
matic, non-invasive measurement of arterial blood pres-
sure and pulse values on the wrist.
Target group
It is designed for self-measurement by adults in the home
environment and is suitable for users whose wrist circum-
ference is within the range printed on the cu.
Indication/clinical benefits
The user can record their blood pressure and pulse val-
ues quickly and easily using the device. The recorded
values are classified according to internationally appli-
cable guidelines and evaluated graphically. Furthermore,
the device can detect any irregular heart beats that occur
during measurement and inform the user via a symbol
in the display. The device saves the recorded measure-
ments and can also output average values of previous
measurements.
The recorded data can provide healthcare service provid-
ers with support during the diagnosis and treatment of
blood pressure problems, and therefore plays a part in the
long-term monitoring of the user’s health.

7. Usage
General rules when measuring blood pressure
yourself
•
I
n order to generate as informative a profile of the
progression of your blood pressure as possible and
ensure that the measured values can be compared,
you should measure your blood pressure regularly
and always at the same times of day. It is recom-
mended that you measure your blood pressure
twice a day: once in the morning after getting up
and once in the evening.
•
Y
ou should always carry out the measurement when
you are suciently physically rested. You should
therefore avoid taking measurements during stress-
ful periods.
•
D
o not take a measurement within 30 minutes of
eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
•
B
efore the initial blood pressure measurement,
make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes.
•
F
urthermore, if you want to take several measure-
ments in succession, make sure always to wait for
at least 1 minute between the individual measure-
ments.
•
R
epeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
measured value.

11
Attaching the cu
•
F
undamentally, blood pressure can be measured on
both arms. Certain deviations between the measured
blood pressure on the right arm and left arm are due
to physiological causes and completely normal. You
should always perform the measurement on the arm
with the highest blood pressure values. Before starting
self-measurement, consult your doctor in this regard.
From this point on, always take measurements on the
same arm.
•
T
he device may only be operated with the cu at-
tached when supplied. Before using the device, the
user should check the fit of the cu and, in doing so,
ensure that their wrist circumference is within the range
printed on the cu.
•
U
ncover your wrist. Ensure that the circulation of the
arm is not hindered by tight clothing or similar.
•
N
ow place the cu on the wrist so that the palm of your
hand and the device display are facing upwards.
•
P
osition the cu so that there is a distance of 1.0 –
1.5cm between it and the heel of your hand.
•
N
ow fasten the cu tightly around your wrist using the
hook-and-loop fastener. Make sure that it is tight but
that it does not cut into your wrist.
Adopting the correct posture
•
T
o carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure
you are sitting upright and comfortably. Lean back and
place your arm on a surface. Do not cross your legs.
Place your feet next to each other flat on the floor.
•
A
lways make sure that the device is at heart level dur-
ing the measurement. Otherwise significant measure-
ment deviations can occur due to
physiological causes. To do so,
place your elbow on a table to sup-
port your arm. In order to make the
measurement even more comforta-
ble for you, you can place your
lower arm on a suitable object (e.g. the storage box).
•
R
elax your arm and the palm of your hand.
•
T
o avoid distorting the measurement, you should re-
main as still as possible during the measurement and
not speak.

You have 2 memories, each with 60 memory spaces, to
enable the separate storage of measurements for 2 dif-
ferent people.
To select the corresponding user memory, press the M1
memory button (for user ) or M2 (for user ) on the
switched-o device. Confirm your selection by pressing
the START/STOP button .
Performing the blood pressure measurement
As described above, attach the cu and adopt the pos-
ture in which you want to perform the measurement.
• Press the START/STOP button to
start the blood pressure monitor. All
displays will illuminate briefly.
The blood pressure monitor will begin
the measurement automatically after 5
seconds.
The cu automatically inflates. The
measurement itself is taken during the inflation phase.
As soon as a pulse is found, the pulse symbol is dis-
played.
You can cancel the measurement at any time by
pressing the START/STOP button .
• The systolic pressure, diastolic pres-
sure and pulse rate measurements
are displayed.
• appears if the measurement could
not be performed properly. Observe
the chapter „9. What if there are prob-
lems?“ in these instructions for use and repeat the
measurement.
• Press the START/STOP button to switch
o the blood pressure monitor. The measure-
ment is then stored in the selected user memory.
If Bluetooth®data transfer is activated, data is trans-
ferred after pressing the START/STOP button .
The Bluetooth®symbol flashes on the dis-
play. The blood pressure monitor now attempts
to connect to the app for approx. 30 seconds.
The Bluetooth®symbol stops flashing as soon as a
connection is established. All measurement data is au-
tomatically transferred to the app. Once the data has
been successfully transferred, the device switches o.
• If a connection to the app cannot be established after
30seconds, the Bluetooth®symbol goes out and the

• If you forget to turn o the device, it will switch o au-
tomatically. In this case too, the value is stored in the
selected or most recently used user memory.
Evaluating the results
General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream
presses against the arterial walls. Arterial blood pressure
constantly changes in the course of a cardiac cycle.
•
B
lood pressure is always stated in the form of two val-
ues:
– The highest pressure in the cycle is called systolic
blood pressure. This arises when the heart muscle
contracts and blood is pumped into the blood ves-
sels.
– The lowest is diastolic blood pressure, which is
when the heart muscle has completely stretched
back out and the heart fills with blood.
•
F
luctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even dur-
ing repeat measurements, considerable dierences
between the measured values may occur. One-o or
irregular measurements therefore do not provide reli-
able information about the actual blood pressure. Reli-
able assessment is only possible when you perform the
measurement regularly under comparable conditions.
Risk indicator
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined the in-
ternationally recognised classification for the evaluation of
measured blood pressure values listed in the table below:
Measured blood
pressure value range Classification
Colour of
the risk
indicator
Systole
(in mmHg)
Diastole
(in mmHg)
≥ 180 ≥ 110 High blood pressure
stage 3 (severe) Red
160 – 179 100 – 109 High blood pressure
stage 2 (moderate) Orange
140 – 159 90 – 99 High blood pressure
stage 1 (mild) Yellow
130 – 139 85 – 89 High normal Green
120 – 129 80 – 84 Normal Green
< 120 < 80 Optimal Green
Source: WHO, 1999 (World Health Organization)
The risk indicator (the arrow in the display and the as-
sociated scale on the device) shows which category the
recorded blood pressure values fall into. If the measured
values are in two dierent classifications (e.g. systole in
the high normal category and diastole in the normal cate-
gory), the risk indicator then always shows you the higher
category – “high normal” in the example described.

14
Please be aware that these standard values can only serve
as a general guideline, as the individual blood pressure
varies in dierent people and dierent age groups, etc.
Furthermore, it must be noted that measurements taken
yourself while at home are generally lower than those that
are taken by the doctor. For this reason, it is important
that you regularly consult your doctor for advice. Only
they are able to give you your personal target values for
controlled blood pressure – in particular if you receive
medicinal therapy.
Cardiac arrhythmia
This device can identify any cardiac rhythm disturbances
as part of the analysis of your recorded pulse signal dur-
ing blood pressure measurement. In this case, after the
measurement, the device will indicate any irregularities in
your pulse by displaying the symbol in the display.
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an
illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of
flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heart-
beat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats,
pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors
such as heart disease, age, physical disposition, excess
alcohol and tobacco, stress or lack of sleep. If the
symbol appears on the display after the measurement,
the measurement must be repeated as the measurement
accuracy may be impaired. To assess your blood pres-
sure, only use the results that have been recorded without
corresponding irregularities in your pulse. If the sym-
bol appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Only
they can establish the existence of an arrhythmia during a
checkup, using their means of diagnosis.
Saving, displaying and deleting measured values
User memory
