Advice on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your blood
pressure at the same time of day.
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• If you want to perform several measurements on the same person, wait
five minutes between each measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eating, drinking,
smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information only – they
are not a substitute for a medical examination! Discuss the measure-
ments with your doctor, and never base any medical decisions on them
(e.g. medicines and their administration)!
• This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with
restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/
or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who is

4
responsible for their safety or are instructed by such a person in how to
use the device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they do
not play with it.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns, pregnant women
or patients with preeclampsia.
We recommend consulting a doctor before using the blood pressure
monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements or have
a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The same also applies
to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhyth-
mias as well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection with a
high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified upper arm
measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in question
may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation must not
be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the device malfunctions,
remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of the cuff
line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent measurements.
The resulting restriction of the blood flow may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff 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.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff on other
parts of the body.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with batteries or with
a mains part. Please note that data transfer and data storage is only
possible when your blood pressure monitor is supplied with power. As
soon as the batteries are empty or the mains part is disconnected from
the power supply, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automatically if no
buttons are pressed for one minute.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in these instruc-
tions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from
improper or careless use.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision electronic compo-
nents. Accuracy of readings and the instrument’s service life depend
on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture, dirt, major tem-
perature fluctuations and direct exposure to the sun’s rays.
– Never drop the device.
– Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it away from
any radio systems and mobile phones.

5. Measuring blood pressure
Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring.
Attach the cuff
Place the cuff on to the bare left upper arm.
The circulation of the arm must not be hin-
dered by tight clothing or similar.
The cuff must be placed on the upper arm so
that the bottom edge is positioned 2–3 cm
above the elbow and over the artery. The line
points to the centre of the palm.
Now tighten the free end of the cuff, but make
sure that it is not too tight around the arm and
close the Velcro fastener. The cuff should be
fastened so that two fingers fit under the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the connection for
the cuff connector.
Caution: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is
suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 36 cm.
A larger cuff for upper-arm circumferences of 35 to 44 cm can be ob-
tained from specialist retailers or from the service address using order
number 163.387.
Adopt the correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measure-
ment. Otherwise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement either sitting or
lying down. Always make sure that the cuff is on a
level with your heart.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make
sure you are sitting comfortably with your arms and
back leaning on something. Do not cross your legs.
Place your feet flat on the ground.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to
keep still during the measurement and not talk.

6. Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm when meas-
uring and if necessary, indicates this after the measurement with the
symbol . If the voice function is activated, the device will announce:
“A possible cardiac arrhythmia was found.” 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 heartbeat.
The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or
too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical
make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only
be determined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol
is shown on the display after the measurement has been taken, it
should be repeated. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand
and do not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol
appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treat-
ment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your
GP’s instructions.

11
Risk indicator:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance with
the following table.
Blood pressure value
category Systole (in mmHg) Diastole (in mmHg) Action
Setting 3: severe
hypertension ≥180 ≥110 seek medical attention
Setting 2: moderate
hypertension 160–179 100 –109 seek medical attention
Setting 1: mild hyper-
tension 140–159 90–99 regular monitoring by doctor
High normal 130–139 85–89 regular monitoring by
doctor
Normal 120–129 80–84 self-monitoring
Optimal <120 <80 self-monitoring
Source: WHO, 1999 (World Health Organization)
The bar chart on the display and the scale on the unit show which cat-
egory the recorded blood pressure values fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g.
systole in the High normal category and diastole in the Normal category),
the graphical classification on the device always shows the higher cat-
egory; for the example given this would be High normal.
