PRESSURE MONITOR OWNER
Thank you for choosing our Semi-automatic Blood Pressure Monitor
Gamma® designed on the basis of the most advanced technologies. The
device you are holding now is your reliable as sistant. You can measure
your blood pressure with this monitor as accurately and precisely as an
experienced doctor or a skilled nurse would do it.
We are sure that having appraised worthily the high quality and reliability
of this device you will become a regular user of the products of Trademark
Gamma®.
Before starting to use this device please study the instruction book
carefully. The instruction book offers all information you need to correctly
measure your blood pressure and pulse.
Regular blood pressure control allows for reliable and easy health
monitoring and for effective combating possible compli cations caused by
blood pressure abnormalities.
ATTENTION
This blood pressure monitor is designed to carry out self-control over blood
pressure but NOT to make self-diagnosis of hypertension/hypotension.
Please DO NOT diagnose by yourselves basing on the measurement
results obtained with the blood pressure monitor. Please DO NOT execute
self-treatment of high/low blood pressure and DO NOT change the
methods prescribed without consulting your doctor.
Type BF applied part.

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.
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.

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.
GETTING READY FOR MEASUREMENT
Safety Precautions
1. Use this device ONLY for the intended use described in this manual.
2. Do NOT use accessories which are not specied by the manufacturer.
3. Do NOT use the device if it is not working properly or damaged.

5. This device does NOT serve as a cure for any symptoms or diseases.
The data measured are for reference only. Always consult your doctor
to have the results interpreted.
6. Keep the equipment and its exible cord away from hot surfaces.
7. Do NOT apply the cuff to areas other than the place directed.
8. Proper maintenance and periodically calibration are essential to the
longevity of your device. If you are concerned about your accuracy of

10. Do not use it for diagnosis of hypertension or testing on newborns,
babies, young children or persons who cannot express their consent.
11. If you have been diagnosed with a severe arrhythmia or irregular
heartbeat, atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial brillation,
measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated
after consultation with the doctor or your healthcare professionals.
