IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ON BLOOD PRESSURE
AND ITS MEASUREMENT
What Is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure
that your blood extends to the
vascular walls. Blood pressure
is necessary to provide for
constant blood ow inside the
body. Thanks to it the cells
get oxygen that provides for
their normal functioning. The
heart performs the function of a
«pump», sending blood to the
blood vessels. Each heart beat
creates a certain level of the blood pressure.
There are 2 kinds of blood pressure: a systolic (upper) one, which
corresponds to the heartbeat pushing blood into the arteriae; and a
diastolic (lower) one, which means the blood pressure between two
heartbeats.
Blood pressure is subject to uctuations during the day even in healthy
people. The uctuations are inuenced by a number of factors – time of
day, person’s condition, physical or mental activity, environment, etc.

An increase of blood pressure increases the burden onto the heart, affects
blood vessels making their walls thick and less elastic.
One of the features of the hypertension is its ability to remain unnoticed
for the patient at its early stages. That’s why the self-control of the blood
pressure is so important. With the illness progressing, headaches and
regular dizziness appear, the sight declines, the functioning of vitalses
(encephalon, heart, kidneys, blood vessels) breaks down. Without special
treatment the complications of hypertension might be kidney damages,
breast-pang, paralytic stroke, aphasia, dementia, heart attack and stroke.
Which Values are Normal?

• The diagnosis of hypertension requires from the patient to combine
medical treatment prescribed by the doctor and mode of life correction.
• People with normal pressure and high normal pressure are recom-
mended to carry out self-control of their tension in order to timely take
measures to decrease the blood pressure level down to the optimal one
without using any medications.
• For people more than 50 years old high level of systolic blood pressure
(higher than 140 mmHg) is more crucial than diastolic pressure.
• Even with blood pressure being normal, people run the bigger risk of
hypertension development with advancing age.
ATTENTION If you have normal results of blood pressure measured under
calm conditions but your results are excessively high when measured
under the conditions of physical or mental exhaustion, this might be a
sign of so called brittle (that is unstable) hypertension. If you suspect that,
please consult your doctor.
When measured correctly, if diastolic blood pressure is more than 120 mmHg ,
it is necessary to call the doctor immediately.
ADVANTAGES OF SEMI-AUTOMATIC
BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
MODEL М-150S
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol of IHB
appears on the display that means that certain abnormality in heart beat
frequency was detected during the measurement.
In this case, the result may deviate from your normal blood pressure -
repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern.
However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times
a week with measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector.
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also

EN
9
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is
clinically tested.
The symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse irregularities
occur during measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently
(e.g. several times per week on measurements performed daily) we
recommend the patient to seek medical advice. The instrument does not
replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at
an early stage.
GETTING READY
FOR MEASUREMENT
Components of Your
Blood Pressure Monitor Kit

Inserting the Batteries
To insert batteries:
1. Remove the cover as illustrated.
2. Insert the batteries (4 AA, 1.5 V),
following the indicated polarity.
(+ -)
ATTENTION
• If a battery warning appears on the display, the
batteries are almost at and must be replaced. And
after battery warning appears, the device will not
work until batteries have been replaced.
• If the blood pressure monitor is not used for long
periods, remove the batteries from the device.
• Please use «AA» Long-Life or Alkaline 1.5V Batter-
ies. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Functional check: Hold the START button down to
test all the display elements. When functioning correctly many icons
will appear.
Cuff connection
Insert the cuff tube into the opening provided on the side of the device as
shown in the picture.

MEASUREMENT
PROCEDURE
ATTENTION
• Find time to relax by sitting in a quiet atmosphere for some time before
measurement.
• Efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase the blood pres-
sure. Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not
activate any muscles in the arm during measurement.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Remove any garment that ts closely to your upper arm. Do not roll
the sleeve since it can squeeze your hand and this can lead to false
results.
• Use only clinically approved original cuff.
• If you want to follow the results of your blood pressure measurements,
always perform measurements at the same time of day, since blood
pressure changes during the course of the day.
• Measurements should be done after a 5 minute rest to ensure ac-
curacy.
Fitting the Cuff
1. Pass the end of the cuff through the at metal ring so
that a loop is formed.
2. Place the cuff over the left upper arm so that tube is
closer to your lower arm.
3. Lay the cuff on the arm so that the lower edge of the
cuff lies approximately 2 to 3 cm above the elbow.
4. Tighten the cuff by pulling the end and close the cuff
by afxing the velcro. There should be little free space
between the arm and the cuff. Cuff that does not t
2-3 сm

12
properly results in false measurement values. Clothing
must not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which
does must be removed.
5. Lay your arm on a table so that cuff is at the same height
as your heart. If the upper arm artery lies considerably
lower or higher than the heart, a false higher or lower
blood pressure will be measured! A variation of 15 cm
between cuff and heart level can result in a reading
error of + or - 10mmHg. Make sure the tube is not
kinked.
6. Remain seated quietly for two minutes before you begin
the measurement.
Measuring Procedure
To carry out measurement.
1. Press the START button. The device is switched on.
Many icons appear on the display for 2 seconds. A short
double beep follows to indicate that the device is ready.
A «0» is shown on the display.
2. Grasp the pumping bulb with your free hand and inate
the cuff to a pressure at least 40 mmHg higher than the
expected systolic pressure. If you do not know the value
of this pressure, inate to a value of approximately 160-
180 mmHg. The cuff pressure is shown continuously on
the display.
3. After the ination process lay down the pumping bulb
and remain in a quiet and relaxed sitting position.
The measurement now proceeds on its own. If no
measurement takes place and all that appears in the
display is a ashing, upwards pointing arrow▲, pump
the ball once again and inate to a higher pressure (see
clause Inating further given below). When the device
detects a pulse, a heart symbol in the display starts to
ash and a beep is heard for every heart beat.

EN
13
Reading Measurement
Results
When the measurement has been
concluded, a long beep tone sounds. The
measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values, as well as the pulse
are now displayed. The appearance of
this symbol signies that an irregular
heartbeat was detected.
This indicator is only a caution. It is
important for you to be relaxed, remain
still and do not talk during measurements.
NOTE: We recommend contacting your
physician if you see this indicator frequently.
The cuff pressure can now be quickly released by pressing the quick
release valve at the pumping bulb.
Inating Further
If the cuff is not inated sufciently, the measurement is
stopped after a few seconds and a ashing arrow pointing
upwards ▲ appears in the display.
It is then necessary to inate at least 20 mmHg higher than
the previous value. The instruction to inate further can
appear several times if the pressure is still not sufcient.
ATTENTION: If the cuff is inated too far (over 300 mmHg),
appears on the display and a warning signal is sounded.
The cuff pressure must then be immediately released using
the quick-release valve at the pumping bulb!
NOTE: To prolong the batteries’ life
the device switches off automatically
if no button is pressed for 1 min 30
sec. Otherwise you can switch it off by
pressing the START button.

Discontinuing a Measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure
measurement for any reason (e.g the patient feels
unwell), the quick-release valve at the pumping bulb can
be pressed at any time. The device then immediately
lowers the cuff pressure automatically.
MEMORY FUNCTION
Semi-automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Dr. Frei
TM Model М-150S automatically stores the result
measured.
To see the result of the last measurement press
and hold the START/MEMORY button for at least 3
seconds.
If an irregular heartbeat interval was detected in the
measurement stored in memory, the icon will be
displayed.
ERROR MESSAGES/
TROUBLESHOOTING
If an error occurs during
a measurement, the measurement
is discontinued and a corresponding
error code is displayed.
(picture: error no. 2)
Error No. Possible cause(s) / Solutions
ERR 1 The systolic pressure was deter-
mined, but then the pressure in the
cuff went down to less than

EN
15
20 mmHg (diastolic blood pressure
can’t be measured).
The tube may have loosened after
the systolic pressure has been deter-
mined. Pulse could not be detected.
ERR 2 Unnatural pressure impulses inu-
ence the measurement
result. Reason: the arm was moved
during the Measurement (Artefact)
ERR 5 The measuring signals are inac-
curate and no result can therefore
be displayed. Read through the
checklist for performing reliable
measurements and then repeat the
measurement.*
HI The pressure in the cuff is too high
(over 300 mmHg) OR the pulse is
too high (over 200 beats per minute).
Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the
measurement.*
LO The pulse is too low (less than 40
beats per minute).
Repeat the measurement.*
*Please consult your doctor, if this or any other problem occurs repeatedly.
Other possible errors and their solutions
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be
checked:
Malfunction Remedy
The display remains blank
when the device is switched
on although the batteries are
in place.
1. Check battery installation/
polarity.
2. Remove the batteries and if
the display is unusual, then
exchange them for new ones.

16
The pressure does not
rise although you are inating
the bulb.
Check the connection of the cuff
tube and connect properly.
The device frequently fails to
measure, or the values mea-
sured are too low or high.
1. Fit the cuff correctly on the arm.
2. Before starting measurement
make sure that clothing is not
exerting pressure on the arm.
Take articles of clothing off if
necessary.
3. Measure blood pressure again
in complete peace and quiet.
Every measurement results
in different values, although the
device functions normally and
normal values are displayed.
Please re-read the clause Measur-
ing procedure above.
Blood pressure values
differ from those measured
at the doctor’s.
Record daily values and consult
your doctor.
ATTENTION
Should any technical malfunctions arise in the blood pressure monitor,
please contact the authorized service center of Dr. Frei®. Never attempt
to repair the instrument yourself! Any unauthorized opening of the
instrument invalidates all warranty claims.
NOTE: Blood pressure is subject to uctuations even in healthy people.
Please remember that comparable blood pressure measurements always
require the same time and the same conditions! These are normally quiet
conditions. If you follow the correct procedures described above and still
get the uctuations of blood pressure of more than 15 mmHg and/or you
repeatedly hear irregular pulse tones please consult your doctor.
