Intended use of the Braun iCheck®7
Braun iCheck®7 is a blood pressure monitor which has been developed for fast, accurate blood
pressure measurements from the wrist. This blood pressure monitor operates as stand-alone
device and automatically records your most recent readings. The recorded readings can be
downloaded later on your Smartphone for advanced trend interpretation.
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. It may also vary over a short period of time. Therefore readings from
successive measurements can uctuate.
This device will display your blood pressure reading referring to two values: the systolic and the
diastolic values. 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 classication daily to help you understand your
blood pressure reading. If you are really concerned
by the classication, you should consult your doctor.
To ensure accurate measuring results, read the
complete instructions for use carefully.

Safety information and important precautions
People suering 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 rst.
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 after smoking, drinking coee or tea or any form
of exertion. These factors will inuence the measurement.
Always measure on the same wrist. We recommend using left wrist.
Take o your wrist watch and jewellery before placing the monitor on the measuring arm.
Remove tight clothing from your arm.
If you want to take multiple measurements, wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating
ameasurement.

Inserting/replacing batteries
• Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it
downwards. Insert the two batteries supplied with this product,
with polarity as indicated in the battery compartment. When
replacing batteries, use alkaline batteries exclusively,
type AAA/LR03, 1.5V.
• New batteries will provide approximately 300 measurements.
The basics
The On/O button is located to the right of the display. This is a
round button with the power symbol. Simply tap on this touch-
sensitive button to turn your iCheck 7 On and O.
When turning On, you will see a welcome screen rst. When this message disappears the device
will be ready to use.
The graphic display shows numerical values for measurements, indications for user, guidance
system and error notications, if any.
At the conclusion of the measurement the device will show a coloured heart. Use the colour
codes shown on Page 6 nd out what the colour means.
Taking a blood pressure measurement
1. Sit down, relax, keep still, especially the arm being used for the measurement, do not move
orspeak. For greatest accuracy, we recommend using the left wrist for the measurement.
2. Fit the monitor on your left wrist, roughly 1 (one) cm
below the palm line (see Fig. 1 for correct placement).
DO NOT ATTACH LIKE A WRIST WATCH. The device
should be on the inner side of your wrist. Secure the
cu with the Velcro fastener, so that it is tight but
comfortable. There should not be a space between
thecu and the wrist.
3. Press the On/O button to start a measurement.
The graphic display will show the welcome screen
followed by the 'Easy Positioning System'. This is shown
as a moving dot within a white circle. Fig. 1

English
4. The‘Easy Positioning System’helps to ensure
the arm is in the correct position. Simply move
your arm up and down until the white dot stays
inside the circle (see Fig. 2). This means that the
iCheck 7 is now level with your heart.
5. The measurement starts automatically once
the correct position has been obtained. Do not
move or speak while the measurement is in
progress.
Note: If it is necessary to interrupt a
measurement, press the On/O button at
any time. The device immediately cancels the
measurement, lowers cu pressure and turns
itself o.
Understanding your reading
Once the measurement is complete, the instant read 'heart' symbol will illuminate.The‘meaning’
of the colour can be found in the table on Page 6. The graphic display will show the numerical
values of your blood pressure readings.
SYS: shows the systolic blood pressure in mmHg
DIA: shows the diastolic blood pressure in mmHg
PUL: shows the pulse - heart beats per minute
This symbol at the right-hand side of pulse reading
indicates a regular heartbeat.
This symbol at the right-hand side of pulse reading indicates that pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. This irregular heartbeat can be caused simply by talking,
moving or shaking during a measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your
normal basal blood pressure – repeat the 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.

The instant read colour indicator follows the ESH and WHO recommendations for interpreting
readings and is described in the table below.
Green: normal blood
pressure Your blood pressure reading is normal, and values are below 135 mmHg systolic and below 85 mmHg diastolic.
Yellow: mild
hypertension
Your blood pressure reading is in the mild hypertension range
with values between 135-159 mmHg systolic and/or 85-99 mmHg
diastolic.
Orange: moderate
hypertension
Your blood pressure reading is in the moderate hypertension
range with values between 160-179 mmHg systolic and/or
100-109 mmHg diastolic.
Red: severe hypertension
Your blood pressure reading is in the severe hypertension range
with values of 180 mmHg systolic and above and/or 110 mmHg
diastolic and above. If you constently get readings in this range,
consult your doctor.
Blood pressure readings will be automatically saved in the device memory. Results are displayed
for approx. 60 seconds, then device will automatically shut-o. You can also shut o your device
with On/O button.
Note: If your iCheck® 7 device is switched on within 60 seconds of powering o, the welcome
screen is bypassed.
Memory functions
Your iCheck® 7 will store up to 100 readings in the internal memory. Readings are stored
automatically when the measurement is complete. When the 100 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 the batteries are replaced.
