Intended use of Braun ExactFitTM 1
Braun ExactFit™ 1 is a blood pressure monitor that has been developed
for easy and accurate blood pressure measurements from the upper arm.
The measuring accuracy of Braun ExactFit™ 1 was tested at the time of
manufacture and was proven by clinical research in accordance with
ESH.†
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.

Note: Blood pressure readings 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 measurements taken at home can provide your
doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values
under actual everyday conditions.
The European Society of Hypertension (ESH) has set up the following
standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse:
Blood pressure
(mmHg) Too low Normal values Grade 1 & 2 hypertension
Grade 3

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 or any form of exertion.These factors will inuence the
measurement results.
•Always measure on the same upper arm.
•Take o wrist watch and jewelry before tting the cu on the
measuring arm.
•Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement.
•Do not wrap the cu over a jacket or sweater. This will aect the
measurement.
•Remove tight-tting clothing from your arm.

«Err 1» Signal too weak The pulse signals on the cu are too
weak. Re-position the cu and repeat
the measurement.*
«Err 2» Error signal During the measurement, error signals
were detected by the cu, caused for
instance by movement or muscle
tension. Repeat the measurement,
keeping the arm still.
«Err 3» No pressure in the
cu An adequate pressure cannot be generated in the cu. A leak may have
occurred. Check that the cu is correctly
connected and is not too loose. Replace
the batteries if necessary. Repeat the
measurement.
«Err 5» Abnormal result The measuring signals are inaccurate
and no result can therefore be
displayed. Read through the checklist
for performing reliable measurements
and then repeat the measurement.*
«HI» Pulse or cu
pressure
