Braun upper arm blood pressure monitor has been developed for accurate and comfortable
blood pressure measurements. The measuring accuracy of Braun’s upper arm blood pressure
monitor was tested at the time of manufacture and was proven by clinical research in accor-
dance with AAMI/ANSI-SP10.
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 nally
drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings
from successive measurements can uctuate.
Blood pressure readings taken from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce only provides a momentary value. Repeated
measurements at home better reect one’s actual blood pressure values under everyday
conditions.
Moreover, many people have a dierent blood pressure when they measure at home, because
they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s oce. Regular blood pressure mea-
surements taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal
blood pressure values under actual «everyday» conditions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood pressure values
when measured at resting pulse:
Blood Pressure Normal Mild Severe
(mmHg) Values Hypertension Hypertension
SYS = systole (upper value) up to 140 140-180 over 180
DIA = diastole (lower value) up to 90 90-110 over 110

• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read the complete use instructions.
• This product is intended for household use only. Keep product and batteries away
from children.
• People suering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in
extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor
before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since deviations in blood
pressure values may occur in such cases.
• If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your
doctor rst.
• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your doctor.

battery compartment). (Fig. 1)
• Only discard empty batteries. They should not be disposed of
in the household waste, but at appropriate collection sites or
at your retailer.
Key Rules for Accurate Blood Pressure Measurement
• Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under
the same conditions.
• Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking, coee or tea consumption.
• Take o wrist watch and jewelry before tting the cu on the measuring arm.
• While taking a measurement sit down, relax, keep still, and do not move or speak.
• Wrap the cu snugly around your arm. The cu must be at heart level.
• Do not vibrate the unit during measurement, or the proper measurement
will not be achieved.
• Perform measurement quietly in a relaxed position.
• Sit in a chair with your feet at on the oor.
• Do not wrap the cu over jacket or sweater sleeve or measurement
cannot be done.
• Remove tight-tting clothing from your left arm.

Choosing the Right Cu
For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct
sized cu which ts best your upper arm. Choose the cu size
according to your arm circumference and make sure the bottom
of the cu is 2-3 cm above your elbow. (Fig. 3)
Small/Medium Cu (BP 4000, BP 4020, BP 5000) =
23-33 cm arm circumference
Large/XLarge Cu (BP 4010, BP 4020, BP 5010) =
33-43 cm arm circumference
Applying the Arm Cu
1. Press your brachial artery by two ngers above the elbow on the
inside of your left arm. (Fig. 4)
2. Determine where your strongest pulse is. Slide the end of arm cu
elbow furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop. The
smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cu.
What You Should Know Before Taking Your Blood Pressure
• Do not in any way twist the arm cu.
• Do not inate the monitor’s cu when it is not wrapped around the arm.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or change any parts of the monitor including the cu.
• Do not drop the product or put it through strong impact.
• The device is not supposed to be used if your arm has any wound or injury.

3. If the cu is located correctly, the Velcro will be on the outside of the
cu and metal ring will not touch your skin. (Fig. 5)
4. Put your left arm through the cu loop. The bottom of the cu should be
approximately 2-3 cm above elbow. The tube should lie over the brachial
artery on the inside of the arm. (Fig. 6)
5. Pull the cu so that the top and bottom edges are
tightened around your arm.
6. When the cu is positioned properly, press the Velcro
rmly against the pile side of the cu. (Fig. 7)
7. Sit on a chair and place your arm on the table so that
the cu is at the same level as your heart. (Fig. 8)
8. Relax your arm with your palm upward. (Fig 9)
9. Ensure there are no kinks in the air tube.
Taking a Measurement
1. Wrap the cu around the arm (see“Applying the Arm Cu” section above).
2. Sit upright on the chair to have a correct posture.
3. Press the (2) button. All elements of the display indicate‘888’
during the rst 3 seconds. The measuring blood pressure symbol
will then ash on the display and the air pressure will automatically
pump up to certain pressure level and start measurement. (Fig. 10)
Do not move or talk in the midst of taking blood pressure measurement.
4. After the air pressure has increased, it will slowly decrease. When the
pulse is detected, the HEART RATE symbol will start ashing.
After taking blood pressure measurement, the product will turn o automatically
after 1 minute.
Memory Function
Your blood pressure monitor can store the reading of 48 measurements
(BP 5000 and BP 5010: 99 measurements).
Storing Measurement Data
After each blood pressure measurement, the Systolic pressure, Diastolic
pressure, Pulse rate and the time & date of specic day will be
automatically stored. The memory stores the latest 48 measurement
data (BP 5000 and BP 5010: 99 measurement data).
Once the memory is full, the oldest values will be overwritten. (Fig. 11)

ment which are the Systolic pressure, Diastolic pressure, Pulse rate, and the recording
time and date will appear on the display for 1 minute.
• Press the «memo» (3) button to read the next line of stored data. The data called up on
the display is numbered accordingly.
• Press the (2) button to exit the memory mode.
Erasing data
• Press the «memo» (3) button into Memory mode.
• Press and hold the (5) button and then press the (4) button, all the stored
data will be erased.

Was Sie über Blutdruck wissen sollten
Der Blutdruck ändert sich ständig während des Tages. Er nimmt am frühen Morgen stark zu
und fällt während des Spätmorgens ab. Der Blutdruck steigt am Nachmittag wieder an und fällt
schließlich nachts auf einen niedrigen Wert ab. Außerdem kann er sich innerhalb kurzer Zeit
ändern. Deshalb können Werte aus nachfolgenden Messungen schwanken.
Blutdruckmesswerte bei einem gesunden 31-jährigen Mann, in Abständen von 5 Minuten gemessen
Der in der Arztpraxis gemessene Blutdruck stellt nur einen Momentanwert bereit.
Wiederholte Messungen zuhause geben tatsächliche Blutdruckwerte unter alltäglichen Bedin-
gungen besser an.
Darüber hinaus haben viele Menschen einen anderen Blutdruck zuhause, weil sie dort
meistens entspannter sind als in der Arztpraxis.
Regelmäßige, zuhause vorgenommene Blutdruckmessungen können Ihrem Arzt wertvolle
Informationen zu Ihren normalen Blutdruckwerten unter tatsächlichen «alltäglichen» Bedin-
gungen liefern.
Die World Health Organisation (WHO) hat die folgenden Blutdruckwerte für eine Messung bei
ruhigem Puls als Maßstab festgelegt:
Blutdruck Normale Leichter Schwerer
(mmHg) Werte Bluthochdruck Bluthochdruck
SYS = Systole bis zu 140 140-180 über 180
(oberer Wert)
DIA = Diastole bis zu 90 90-110 über 110
(unterer Wert)
