3. Measurement Procedure
ATTENTION
Find time to relax by sitting in a quiet atmosphere for some time•
before measurement.
Always measure on the left wrist.•
If you want to follow the results of your blood pressure measure-•
ments, always perform measurements at the same time of day, since
blood pressure changes during the course of the day.
3.1. Fitting the cu
1. Remove all jewellery and watches. Ap-
ply the cu so that the display is facing you.
2. The distance between the cu and the
hand should be nearly 10 mm.
3. Secure the cu with theVelcro fastener,
so that it lies comfortably and not too tight. A
loose cu causes false measurement values.
4. Lay your arm on a table with your palm
upwards. Support your arm with a cushion or
the storage case so that the cu rests at about
the same height as the heart. Remain still for
2 minutes, sitting quietly, before beginning a
measurement.

3.2. Measuring procedure
To carry out measurement
1. Press the START button.The built-in microproces-
sor begins to inate the cu. In the display, the increas-
ing cu pressure is continually displayed.
2. After automatically reaching an individual pres-
sure, the pump stops and the pressure slowly falls. The
cu pressure is displayed during the measurement.
When the device has detected your pulse, the heart
symbol in the display begins to blink and a beep tone is
audible for every pulse beat.
3.3. Reading measurement results
When the measurement has been con-
cluded, a long beep tone sounds. The meas-
ured 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 that you be relaxed,
remain still and do not talk during measurements. NOTE: We recommend
contacting your physician if you see this indicator frequently.
Note
To prolong the batteries’life the device switches o automatically if no
button is pressed for 1 minute. Otherwise you can switch it o by pressing
the START button.
3.4. Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any
reason the START button can be pressed at any time. The device then im-
mediately lowers the cu pressure automatically.
3.5. Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol of IHD
appears on the display that means that certain abnormality in heart beat
frequency was detected during the measurement. In this case, the result
SYS

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
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically
tested.
The symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse irregulari-
ties occur during measurement. If the symbol more frequently (e.g. sev-
eral 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.
4. Memory function
Wrist Watch Blood Pressure Monitor GammaTM Model M2-W automati-
cally stores 99 measured results together with the date and the time when
they are obtained.
To see the results of the last measurement press and hold the MEMORY
button for at least 3 seconds. Each time you press the memory button an
earlier measurement will be displayed along with time and date (with sym-
bols M2-M99).
If an irregular heartbeat interval was detected in any measurements
stored in memory, the icon is displayed.
