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 uc-
tuations 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, aects 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 vitals (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?

* 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 recommended 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.

Blood Pressure Rate Indicator
Blood pressure rate indicator is located along left side of the display. The classication
corresponds to 6 ranges described in the table of the section «Which values are nor-
mal?». After the measurement there appears the dotted line in the left part of the display
opposite the zone to which the result of the measurement corresponds: green zone -

5
EN
optimal blood pressure, yellow - elevated, orange - too high, red - dangerously high. This
function helps you to self-orient in the measurement results.
Irregular Heartbeat Detection Technology
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is meas-
uring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.During each measurement, the monitor
records all the pulse intervals and calculate the average ; if there are two or more pulse
intervals ,the dierence between each interval and the average is more than the average
value of ±25% , or there are four or more pulse intervals ,the dierence between each
interval and the average is more than the average value of ±15%,the irregular heartbeat
symbol appears on the display when the measurement results are appear.
Multiple Users
2 users can make measurements and store data together. Memory allows up to 60
results for each user enabling to display average results, which include quite long period
of time. There is no need to write down and store the results on hard copies every time
after measurement.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
ATTENTION
• Find time to relax by sitting in a quiet atmosphere for some time before measurement.
• Be seated with your feet at on the oor, and don’t cross your legs. Place palm upside
in front of you on a at surface such as desk or table. The middle of the cu should be
at the level of the right atrium of the heart.
• Eorts by the patient to support the arm can increase the blood pressure. Make sure
you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not activate any muscles in the arm
during measurement.

11
EN
• 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 cu.
• If you want to follow the results of your blood pressure measurements, always per-
form 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.
Fitting the Cu
Select a pressure cu size that corresponds to the circumference
of your shoulder (measured with a tight t in the middle of the
shoulder). The size M (22-32 cm) is a size tting the majority
of people.
1. Remove all jewelry, such as watches and bracelets from
your left arm.Note: If your doctor has diagnosed you with poor
circulation in your left arm, use your right arm.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin. Make sure
your sleeve is not too tight.
3. Hold your arm with your palm facing up and tie the cu on
your upper arm, then position the tube o-center toward the
inner side of arm in line with the little nger. Or position the artery
mark over the main artery (on the inside of your arm).
Note: Locate the main artery by pressing with 2 ngers
approximately 2 cm above the bend of your elbow on the
inside of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the
strongest. This is your main artery.
4. The cu should be snug but not too tight. You should be able
to insert one nger between the cu and your arm.
5. Sit comfortably with your tested arm resting on a at surface. Place your elbow on
a table so that the cu is at the same level as your heart. Turn your palm upwards. Sit
upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
6. Helpful tips for Patients, especially for Patients with Hypertension:
• Rest for 5 minutes before rst measuring.
• Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements.
• This allows your blood circulation to recover.
• Take the measurement in a silent room.
• The patient must relax as much as possible and do not move and talk during the
measurement procedure.
• The cu should maintain at the same level as the right atrium of the heart.
• Please sit comfortably. Do not cross your legs and keep your feet at on the ground.
• Keep your back against the backrest of the chair.
• For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example,
take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same arm, or as di-
rected by a physician.

Field strengths from
xed RF transmitters, as
determined by an elec-
tromagnetic site survey,
should be less than the
compliance level in each
frequency range.
Interference may occur in
the vicinity of equipment
marked with the following
symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected
by absorption and reection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular / cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast
cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due
to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured
eld strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance
level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3V/m.
Table 4
