Introduction
Dear Customer,
We are delighted that you have decided
to purchase a boso blood pressure mon-
itor. The boso brand is synonymous with
optimal quality and precision and is also
number 1 among professionals: 77% of
all German doctors currently use boso
blood pressure monitors. The experience
gained from decades of use by profession-
als has also been incorporated into all
the patient monitors for home measure-
ment.
This instrument has also passed our strict
quality control procedures and is your reli-
able partner for monitoring your blood
pressure values.
 Please read these user instructions
before using the instrument for the first
time, as correct blood pressure readings
can only be obtained if the instrument is
operated correctly.
In these user instructions, „➡“ means an
action by the user.
To get help concerning usage or mainten-
ance please contact your dealer or the
manufacturer (contact details can be
found on the back cover of this manual).
An unexpected operating condition or an
incidence which has worsened the health
condition or could have worsened the
health condition should be reported to the
manufacturer immediately.
If the instrument is to be sold, ensure that
these user instructions are enclosed.

Introduction
If the monitor is used in medical practice
(in accordance with the legislation govern-
ing the operation of medical devices), it
should be calibrated at regular intervals
(see page 62).
The boso medicus blood pressure monitor
is suitable for patients of all ages with an
upper arm circumference of be-tween 22
and 48 cm. The monitor is not suitable for
neonatals.
Wireless communication devices, such as
home networking devices, mobile phones,
cordless phones and their base stations,
walkie-talkies can affect this blood pres-
sure monitor. Therefore, a minimum
distance of 11 feet should be kept from
such devices.

Blood pressure values
To determine the blood pressure, two val-
ues need to be measured:
●Systolic (upper) blood pressure:
This is produced when the heart muscle
contracts and blood is forced into the
blood vessels.
●Diastolic (lower) blood pressure:
This is present when the heart muscle ex-
pands and fills with blood again.
Blood pressure measurement values are
expressed in mmHg (mm of mercury).
systolic diastolic
High blood pressure (hypertension) over 140 mmHg over 90 mmHg
Borderline normal blood pressure 130 to 139 mmHg 85 to 89 mmHg
Normal blood pressure 120 to 129 mmHg 80 to 84 mmHg
Optimum blood pressure up to 119 mmHg up to 79 mmHg
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined the following cut-off values for
assessing blood pressure:

41

Blood pressure values
Whether medical treatment is necessary
depends not only on the blood pressure,
but also on the patient’s risk profile.
Please contact your GP if one of the val-
ues (systole, diastole) consistently exceeds
the cut-off point for high blood pressure.
Self-measurement of blood pressure often
produces somewhat lower values at home
than at the doctor’s. The German
Hypertension League has therefore defi-
ned lower cut-off values for home measu-
rements:
Home measurement: 135/85 mmHg
Measurement in the
doctor’s surgery: 140/90 mmHg

Starting up
➡Use only high quality leak-proof batter-
ies of the correct specifications (see
“Technical data” P. 59).
 Never mix old and new batteries or
different makes.
 If the batteries are not inserted cor-
rectly, the monitor will not work and this
may cause the batteries to heat up and
leak, damaging the monitor.
➡Inserting the batteries
The battery compartment is located on
the underside of the monitor. Insert bat-
teries in the battery compartment as
shown in illustration 1.
➡Remove the batteries if the monitor is
not to be used for any length of time.

The device must be installed and put into
operation in accordance with the instruc-
tions in this manual.

Starting up
The monitor has a battery status display
(see P. 35)
Flashing! No further
measurements possible.
Replace battery.
 Care for the environment
Do not dispose of used batteries and
charger units in domestic waste.
You can take these to collection sites for
used batteries or special waste.
Contact your local authority for informa-
tion.

General instructions for self-measurement
1. Fluctuations in blood pressure are quite
normal. Even when measurements are
repeated, there can be marked differ-
ences. Single or irregular measure-
ments do not provide reliable informa-
tion about the actual blood pressure. A
reliable evaluation is only possible if reg-
ular measurements are taken under
comparable conditions and the measure-
ment values entered in the blood pres-
sure record card.
2.  Self-testing does not mean self-
treatment. Do not on any account
change the dose of medicine prescribed
by your doctor of your own accord.
3. Irregular heartbeats can affect the accu-
racy of the monitor or result in incorrect
measurements.
4. Incorrect measurements can also occur
in patients with a weak pulse (possibly
in patients wearing a pacemaker, for ex-
ample). The blood pressure monitor it-
self has no effect on the pacemaker.
5. If you are pregnant, consult your doctor
before using the monitor.
6. Always take the measurement in a calm
and relaxed state.
You are recommended to check your
blood pressure twice a day – in the morn-
ing on getting up and in the evening
once you have relaxed after work.
7. Always measure your blood pressure
from the arm with the higher blood
pressure values (where not required
otherwise (see page 49)).

45

General instructions for self-measurement
To do this, measure the blood pressure
first in both arms and thereafter always
from the arm with the higher blood
pressure.

Note on cuff sizes:
 The monitor may only be used with
the following cuff types. These should be
chosen according to the upper arm cir-
cumference printed on them.
* Cuff supplied as standard.
Type Arm Order number
circumference
CA01 22 – 32 cm 143-4-760*
CA02 32 – 48 cm 143-4-757
Preparing to measure your blood pressure
Attach the cuff to the monitor by pressing
the plug (click) into the socket on the left
side of the unit. (See illustration 2).
Illustration 2


Preparing to measure your blood pressure
➡Set the pressure selector switch
‘DRUCKVORWAHL’ to the desired cuff
pressure which should be at least 30 to
40 mmHg higher than the systolic
(upper) blood pressure reading. If you
are not sure of this value, set the selec-
tor switch to 150 mmHg for the first
measurement.
If this pressure is insufficient, the unit
will switch over to the next higher pres-
sure setting automatically. Illustration 3


Preparing to measure your blood pressure
Observe the following instructions
when measuring your blood pressure:
Avoid smoking or drinking coffee
for one hour before measuring
your blood pressure.
Sit comfortably for the blood pres-
sure measurement. Support your
back and arms. Do not cross your
legs. Place your feet flat on the
floor.
Relax for 5 minutes before taking
a measurement.
Do not move during the measure-
ment.
Attaching the cuff
The measurement should be taken from
the bare upper arm.
 In the case of tightly fitting outer
clothing, ensure that the blood supply to
the arm is not cut off when the sleeve is
rolled up (if necessary remove the article of
clothing before taking the measurement).
➡Open out the cuff into the shape of a
ring and slide it over the upper arm
until the bottom edge of the cuff is
about 2-3 cm above the elbow. The
cuff must be positioned so that the
marking is over the artery (see illustra-
tion 3).

49

Preparing to measure your blood pressure
 Do not attach the cuff over wounds as
this can cause further injuries.
 Ensure that the cuff is not attached to
an arm where arteries or veins are under-
going or have undergone medical treat-
ment (e.g. shunt).
 For women who have had a breast
amputated, do not attach the cuff to the
arm on the amputated side of the body.
 During the measurement, medical ap-
paratus that are being used on the same
arm at the same time, may malfunction.
 The cuff must not be too tight. There
should be enough space to fit roughly two
fingers between arm and cuff.
 The metal ring should never lie over
the artery (see illustration 4) as this may
produce a false reading.
➡Grasp the end of the cuff that feeds
though the metal ring and wrap it
around the outside of your arm. Attach
the Velcro fastener by applying gentle
pressure.

Preparing to measure your blood pressure
➡Place your arm with the cuff attached
on the table, holding it relaxed and
slightly bent so that the cuff is level
with your heart.
Do not talk during the measure-
ment.

 Check that the air tube is not kinked
during the measurement. This could cause
congestion of the blood flow and sub-
sequent injury.
 The blood pressure measurement
should not prevent the flow of blood for an
unnecessary length of time (> 2 minutes).
If the monitor fails to function correctly, re-
move the cuff from the arm.
 Excessive frequent measurements can
cause injury by restricting blood flow.

Measuring your blood pressure
➡Start the measurement with the
START/STOP button
 Now hold the arm absolutely still and
do not talk.
All the items on the LCD display appear
briefly to indicate that the monitor is now
ready for use (see illustration 6).
