Intended use of the Braun ActivScan™9
ActivScan™9 is a blood pressure monitor that has been developed for accurate, comfortable
and intuitive blood pressure measurements from the upper arm.
What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early morning and
declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and finally drops
to a low level at night. It may also vary over a short period of time. Therefore readings from
successive measurements may fluctuate.
This device will display your blood pressure reading referring to two values: systolic and diastolic.
The systolic blood pressure (the upper number) indicates how much pressure your blood is
exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats. The diastolic blood pressure (the lower
number) indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the
heart is resting between beats. The pulse value is also displayed after each measurement.
The ESH (European Society of Hypertension) and WHO (World Health Organisation) have set up
the following standard blood pressure values when measured with a resting pulse at home:
Blood pressure
(mmHg) Too
low
Normal
values
Grade 1
mild
hypertension
Grade 2
moderate
hypertension
Grade 3
severe
hypertension
SYS = systole
(upper value) below 100 up to 134 135-159 160-179 ≥180
DIA = diastole
(lower value) below 60 up to 84 85-99 100-109 ≥110
For every measurement displayed
on the screen, the associated colour
(from green to red) will indicate the
corresponding blood pressure level.
You can use this classification daily
to help you understand your blood
pressure. If you are really concerned
by the classification, you should
consult your doctor.
The guidance levels set by the
World Health Organisation are also
available directly on the ActivScan™ 9
blood pressure monitor. If you wish
to consult the colour-coded chart on
your device, select the Information tab .
Safety information and important precautions
To ensure accurate measuring results, read the complete instructions for use carefully.
People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in the extremities,
diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood
pressure themselves. Deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.

If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor first.
The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for a consultation with
your doctor.
Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
Always take readings at the same time of day, under the same conditions.
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of smoking, drinking coffee or tea or any form
of exertion. These factors will influence the measurement.
Always measure on the same arm. The left arm is recommended.
Place the cuff in direct contact with the skin. Do not wrap the cuff over a jacket, sweater or shirt.
If you want to take multiple measurements, wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating
a measurement.

Setting the date and time
The date and time need to be set before
a measurement can be taken.
It is important to set the date and time
correctly to ensure that the readings are
displayed correctly on this device and
in the Braun Healthy Heart app.
This screen will be shown automatically when
the device is first used or after inserting a new
set of batteries.
If you need to adjust the date and time at a
later date (for example when advancing the
clock by one hour in the summer), then you
can access this screen from the main menu
by selecting the date and time icon .
Choose the format (EU or US), then the date and time by turning the navigation dial.
Press the Enter button to activate the field. When the field flashes you can adjust the numbers.
Press the Enter button to confirm the number entered and the cursor will jump to next field.
Repeat the process. When completed, confirm by selecting the 'Save' icon .

Setting a user name
From the main menu select User and press
Enter. Now select the letters by turning the
navigation dial, and confirm each letter by
pressing the Enter button. When complete,
select the Save icon and press Enter.
Names can be changed at any time by
choosing the User icon from the main
menu.
The user name will not be lost if the batteries
are removed or replaced.
Correct posture and cuff positioning
Correct posture during measurement
is important to obtain accurate readings.
For greater accuracy, we recommend using
the left arm because it's closer to your heart.
The correct position of the cuff should be 2-3 cm
above the elbow, with tube outlet facing in the
direction of your hand and running along the
centre of the inside of your elbow, close the
cuff with Velcro fasterner so it fits tightly but
comfortable on your arm. There should not be
a space between the cuff and your arm.
The ActivScan™ 9 provides on-screen
animations to help you achieve the correct
posture and fit the cuff properly. This assisted
reading function will be displayed automatically when the device is first used and then
can be displayed optionally before each reading by selecting the Settings icon .
The on-screen animation guide can also be viewed at any time by choosing the Information
icon from the main menu.
Taking a blood pressure reading
1. Sit down, relax, keep still (especially the arm being used for the measurement), do not move
or speak.
2. Fit the cuff 2-3 cm above the elbow, with tube outlet facing in the direction of your hand
and running along the centre of the inside of your elbow.
3. Touch the heart measurement icon located to the left of the dial to start a measurement
or select the heart button in the main menu. The measurement starts after 3 seconds of
on-screen countdown animation. It is possible to cancel the measurement at any time by
touching the Home button or the Enter button.

Understanding your reading
When a measurement is complete, the
readings are displayed on the screen along
with a coloured heart logo. The heart logo and
the background colour will indicate the level
of hypertension for the reading. Please refer
to the WHO colour-coded chart (on Page 2)
to understand this interpretation.
SYS: shows the reading for the systolic blood
pressure
DIA: shows the reading for the diastolic blood
pressure
Shows the pulse (heart rate)
This icon appears if there is an irregular
heartbeat. An irregular heartbeat can be
caused by simply talking, moving or shaking during a measurement.
Normally this is not cause for concern. However if the symbol appears frequently,
and these guidelines are strictly followed, you should seek medical advice.
Memory function
Your ActivScan™9 stores up to 200 readings for each user. Readings are stored automatically
when the measurement is complete. When the 200 readings are reached, the new readings
automatically replace the oldest ones. We suggest you regularly transfer your stored readings
onto the Braun Healthy Heart app on your Smartphone in order to follow the evolution of your
blood pressure easily over a long period of time.
The memory is non-volatile. Stored readings will not be lost when batteries are replaced.
Consult the average of your readings
Access the averages of your readings as a
report by selecting the Report icon in the
menu. This function gives the averages for the
last 7, 14 or 30 days from the readings taken
for the morning (left), evening (middle) and
the whole day (right).
The total number of readings taken during the
time period is displayed at the bottom and is
shown as .
Consulting the average of your readings will
give you a blood pressure value which is more
representative of your overall cardiovascular
health.
Make sure you regularly take your blood
pressure so the average numbers will more
accuratly show your overall cardiovascular health.
