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 inuenced by a number of factors - time of
day, person’s condition, physical or mental activity, environment, etc.
Day-Night Fluctuations of the Blood Pressure
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?
Monitoring your routine blood pressure trend helps you to know your
body condition. Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching
middle age.
This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood vessels. Further
causes include obesity, lack of exercise and cholesterol (LDL) adhering to
the blood vessels, diabetes. Rising blood pressure accelerates hardening
of the arteries, and the body becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and
coronary infarction.

• 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.

EN
Irregular Heartbeat Detection
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 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 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.

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 accuracy.
13
EN
Fitting the Cuff
a. Plug the cuff connector to the cuff socket on the device left side.
b. Assemble the cuff as shown below. The smooth surface should be
inside of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring should not touch your skin.
c. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your palm facing up.
Slide and place the cuff onto your arm to let the air tube and artery
mark region toward the lower arm.
Wrap and tighten the cuff above your elbow. The artery mark on the
edge of the cuff should be approx. 0.8ʺ to 1.2ʺ (2 cm to 3 cm) above
your elbow and above the artery. Align the tube over the main arteries
on the inside.
d. Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff: you should be
able to t two ngers between them. Remove all clothing covering or
constricting the measurement arm.
e. Press the hook material rmly against the pile material. The top and
bottom edges of the cuff should be tightened evenly around your
upper arm.
14
Taking a Single Measurement
ATTENTION
1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Place your elbow on a at surface. Relax your hand with the palm facing
up.
3. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of your
heart.
4. Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.
WARNING:
If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the obtained blood
pressure value could be higher (lower) than the actual value.
Always apply the pressure cuff before turning on the monitor.
1. Press the ON/OFF button. The device will turn on and the display for 2
seconds to highlight all the characters, then there will be «00».
2. Take a rubber blower to free hand and inate the cuff to a pressure
greater than 40 mm Hg the value of your expected systolic pressure. If you
do not know your systolic pressure, inate the cuff to 160-180 mm Hg. The
pressure in the cuff is shown on the display.
15
EN
3. When you reach the desired pressure, place the pear and sit quietly, not
moving . The measurement process began.
If the measurement is not performed, and the display shows « », the cuff
pressure was insufcient to perform the measurement. In this case it is
necessary to pump up the pressure in the cuff to a higher value, at least
20 mm Hg. Art. higher than the previous.
Reading Measurement Results
The measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, as well as
the pulse are now displayed. The appearance of this symbol signies
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.
Discontinuing a Measurement
If for any reason you must stop measurement (for example, due to poor
health), open the air release valve on the blower. The cuff pressure
decreases. In this case, the display may appear symbol error «Err».
Switch off the appliance. The device then immediately lowers the cuff
pressure automatically.
MEMORY FUNCTION
Semi-automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Gamma® TM Semi automatically
stores the result measured. To see the result of the last measurement
press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 3 seconds. If an irregular
heartbeat interval was detected in the measurement stored in memory, the
icon will be displayed.
