3. Measurement Procedure
ATTENTION
• Find time (5-10 min.) to relax by sitting in a quiet atmosphere
for some time before measurement.
blood pressure. 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).
not roll the sleeve since it can squeeze your hand and this can
lead to false results.

8
• Use only clinically approved original cu.
• If you want to follow the results of your blood pressure meas-
urements, always perform measurements at the same time of
day, since blood pressure changes during the course of day.
• Measurements should be done after a 5 minute rest to ensure
accuracy.
3.1. Fitting the cu
1. Pass the end of the cu through the at
metal ring so that a loop is formed, and the
velcro faces outwards.
2. Place the cu over the left upper arm
so that tube is closer to your lower arm.
3. Lay the cu on the arm so that the low-
er edge of the cu lies approximately 2 to 3
cm above the elbow.
4. Tighten the cu by pulling the end and
close the cu by axing the velcro. There
should be little free space between the arm
and the cu. Cu that does not t properly
results in false measurement values. Cloth-
ing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of
clothing which does must be removed.
5. Lay your arm on a table so the cu 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 cu and heart level can result in
a reading error of + or - 10mm Hg.
Make sure the tube is not kinked.
2-3cm

6. Remain seated quietly for two minutes
before you begin the measurement.
3.2. Measuring procedure
To carry out measurement
1. Press the “ON/OFF“ button, the display shows “0”, Ination
icon ashes on dis¬play when it it begins to inate.
During the ination, please do not move
2. Automatic deation after measurement, and display the
blood pressure,heart rate, and blood pressure indicator
• Mistake, display “E” please refer the instruction about
troubleshooting.
• When cu remove during the measurement, please x the
cu and test again.
• Stop the measurement in emergency, please press “ON/
OFF“ button. Automatic deation at the same time.
3. Power o. Press “ON/OFF“ button, to cut o the power.

3.3. 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.
On the graphic indicator the element
showing level of arterial pressure on a
scale of World Health Organization is dis-
played
3.4. Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood
pressure measurement for any reason
(e.g the patient feels unwell), the “ON/
OFF“ button can be pressed at any time.
The device then immediately lowers the
3.5. Irregular Heartbeat Detector (IHD-technology)
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol
of IHD
appears on the display that means that certain abnormal-
ity 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. 3-5 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 Ir-
regular 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 ir-
regularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears
more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements per-
formed 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
1. Press the “ON/OFF” button 3 seconds, a memory
read out the latest measurements, “ON/OFF”for the
buttons (UP).
2. Press the“ON/OFF”button to turn o the device.
• If forget to turn it o automatically power o in one minute.
• Memory can store 30 last measurements. It will deletes the earli-
est one automatically

9. Important information on blood pressure and its
measurement
9.1. 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
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 arte-
riae; and a diastolic (lower) one, which means the blood pressure
between two heartbeats.
factors – time of day, person’s condition, physical or mental activ-
ity, environment, etc.
SYS blood pressure
DIA blood pressure

16
Day-Night Fluctuations of the Blood Pressure
An increase of blood pressure increases the burden onto the
heart, aects blood vessels making their walls thick and less elas-
tic. 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 com-
plications of hypertension might be kidney damages, breast-pang,
paralytic stroke, aphasia, dementia, heart attack and stroke.

* printed with curtailments
• 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 rec-
ommended 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 diasto-
lic 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 meas-
ured 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.

18
When measured correctly, if diastolic blood pressure is more
than 120 mmHg, it is necessary to call the doctor immediately.
9.3.What can be done to lower/maintain the level of blood
pressure?
Recommendation
How much the
systolic blood
pressure can be
lowered
- Try to maintain the weight which is
considered standard for your age. De-
crease overweight if any!
5 – 20 mmHg with
every 10 kilos of
weight reduction
- Avoid salt overuse (it’s recommend-
ed to use no more than 6 g per day)!
2 – 8 mmHg
- Avoid eating fat food! Introduce to
your diet some food that is rich in di-
etary ber (fruits, vegetables)
8 – 14 mmHg
- Refuse from smoking outright!
- Use only limited amount of alcohol
(bier – 350 g, or vine – 150 g, or vodka
– 50 g)!
- Restrain the usage of caeine (cof-
fee)!
2 – 4 mmHg

19
- After medical examination please
regularly go in for sports, with the fol-
lowing restrictions:
• go in for endurance exercises not
strengthening exercises.
• do not train till complete exhaus-
tion.
• if you have any chronic diseases
and/or you are older than 40 please
consult your doctor before you start
going in for sports.
- Spend at least half an hour out in the
open air every day.
4 – 9 mmHg
