8ENGLISH
Your blood pressure level is determined in the brain’s circulatory center and adjusts to a va-
riety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the
force and speed of the heart (pulse) as well as the width of the circulatory blood vessels is
altered.
The width of the blood vessels is controlled by ne muscles in the walls of the blood vessels.
Your blood pressure level changes periodically during heart activity: During “blood ejection”
(systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the “rest period” of
the heart (Diastole) the pressure is lower (diastolic blood pressure value).
Blood pressure values must be within normal ranges in order to prevent certain cardiac
pathologies.
Please see the following table.
There are six boxes on the device screen. Please refer to photo-01-01. Different grids repre-
sent different OMS interval scales.
How does high or low blood pressure arise?
What values are normal?
BLOOD PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT.
• Your blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is greater than 90 mmHg and/or
your systolic blood pressure is greater than 160 mmHg while at rest. In this case, consult
your doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to contin-
ued damage to the blood vessels in your body.
• If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 159 mmHg and/or di-
astolic blood pressure values between 90 mmHg and 99 mmHg, see your doctor. Regular
self-checks are required.
• If you have blood pressure values that are too low (ie, systolic values less than 105 mmHg
and/or diastolic values less than 60 mmHg), consult your doctor.
• Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure
monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early and react
accordingly.

What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?
1. Check with your doctor.
2. Increased values of blood pressure (various forms of hypertension) are associated with
considerable health risks over time. The arterial blood vessels in your body are in danger
due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclerosis). Poor blood
supply to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the result of arteriosclerosis.
3. Also, the heart will be structurally damaged with increased blood pressure values.
4. There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate common primary
(essential) hypertension and secondary hypertension. This last group can be attributed to
specic organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information on the possible
sources of your own increased blood pressure values.
5. There are steps you can take (such as diet and lifestyle changes) to reduce and even pre-
vent high blood pressure.
• If you are under medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record of the
values along with the time of day and date. Show these values to your doctor. Never use the
results of your measurements to independently alter the medication doses prescribed by
your physician.
More information:
If your values are generally normal under resting conditions, but exceptionally high under
conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you suffer from so-called
“labile hypertension”. Check with your doctor.
Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate
medical treatment.

Cuff Tube Connection
Before Measurement
• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement.
These factors inuence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an easy
chair in a quiet environment for about ten minutes before taking a measurement.
• Remove any clothing that is too tight on your arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (usually the left).
• Always compare measurements taken at the same time of day, as blood pressure changes
over the course of the day by as much as 20-40mmHg.
Insert the cuff tube into the opening on the left side of the monitor.
You should always be seated before and during the measurement
HOW TO TAKE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

12 ENGLISH
Common Sources of Error
Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions.
• Conditions should always be calm.
• All efforts by the user to support the arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure you are
in a comfortable and relaxed position and do not ex any of the measurement arm muscles
during the measurement. Use a cushion for support if necessary.
• If the artery in the arm is considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneously high
or low blood pressure will be measured. Every 15cm (6 inches) difference in height between
the heart and the cuff results in a measurement error of 10mmHg
• Cuffs that are too narrow or too short result in false measurement values. Selecting the
correct bracelet is extremely important. The size of the cuff depends on the circumference
of the arm (measured in the center). The allowed range is printed on the cuff.
• The cuff works under a pressure range of 0-299MMHG
• The measurement range of the bracelet is: 8.7”-15.7” (22-40cm)
• Note: Use only manufacturer-approved cuffs.
• A loose cuff or an air pocket protruding to the sides causes false measured values
• With repeated measurements, blood pools in the arm, which can lead to false results. Con-
secutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated after a 1-minute pause or after
your arm has been held high to allow pooled blood to ow. If you decide to re-measure in
averaging mode, be sure to wait at least one minute before.
Cuff Placement
1. The cuff is preformed for ease of use. Remove tight or bulky clothing from your arm
2. Wrap the bracelet around the upper left arm. The rubber tube should be on the inside of
your arm extending down to your hand. Make sure the cuff is approximately 1/2" to 3/4" (1
to 2 cm) above the elbow.
Important! The symbol The edge of the cuff (Artery Mark) should be over the artery that
runs down the inside of the arm.
3. To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the hook and loop closure together.
4. There should be little clearance between the arm and the cuff. You should be able to t 2
ngers between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs that do not t correctly produce false meas-
urement values. Please measure your arm circumference if you are unsure of the proper t
5. Place your arm on a table (palm up) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make
sure the tube is not bent.
6. Sit quietly for at least two minutes before starting the measurement.
