1. Introduction
1.1. Features of the BP 3BU1-5
The blood-pressure monitor BP 3BU1-5 (with integrated time/date
display) is a fully automatic, digital blood-pressure measuring device
for use on the wrist, which enables very fast and reliable measure-
ment of the systolic and diastolic blood-pressure as well as the pulse
frequency by way of the oscillometric method of measuring.The de-
vice offers a very high and clinical tested measurement accuracy and
has been designed to provide a maximum of user-friendliness.
Before using, please read through this instruction manual carefully
and then keep it in a safe place. For further questions on the subject
of blood-pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.
Attention!
1.2. Important information about self-measurement
•Do not forget: self-measurement means control, not diagnosis
or treatment. Unusual values must always be discussed with
your doctor. Under no circumstances should you alter the
dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.
•The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of
heart pacemakers!
•In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements
made with this instrument should only be evaluated after con-
sultation with the doctor.
Electromagnetic interference
The device contains sensitive electronic components
(Microcomputer). Therefore, avoid strong electrical or electromag-
netic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile tele-
phones, microwave cookers). These can lead to temporary impair-
ment of the measuring accuracy.

2. Important information on the subject of blood-pressure
and its measurement
2.1. How does high/low blood-pressure arise?
The level of blood-pressure is determined in a part of the brain, the
so-called circulatory centre, and adapted to the respective situation
by way of feedback via the nervous system.
To adjust the blood-pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart
(Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered.
The latter is effected by way of fine muscles in the blood-vessel
walls.
The level of arterial blood-pressure changes periodically during the
heart activity: During the «blood ejection» (Systole) the value is maxi-
mal (systolic blood-pressure value), at the end of the heart’s «rest pe-
riod» (Diastole) minimal (diastolic blood-pressure value).
The blood-pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in
order to prevent particular diseases.
2.2. Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above
90mmHg and/or the systolic blood-pressure is over 160mmHg. In this
case, please consult your doctor immediately. Long-term values at
this level endanger your health due to the associated advancing
damage to the blood vessels in your body.
Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140mmHg and
160mmHg and/or the diastolic blood-pressure values lie between
90mmHg and 100mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor.
Furthermore, regular self-checks will be necessary.
With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values un-
der 100mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60mmHg, likewise,
please consult your doctor.

Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with
your blood-pressure monitor is recommended. In this way you can
detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pres-
sure, please keep a record of the level of your blood pressure by car-
rying out regular self-measurements at specific times of the day.
Show these values to your doctor. Never use the results of your
measurements to alter independently the drug doses pre-
scribed by your doctor.
Table for classifying blood-pressure values (units mmHG) according
to World Health Organization:
Range Systolic Diastolic Measures
Blood-pressure Blood-pressure
Hypotension lower than 100 lower than 60 Check with
your doctor
Normal range between 100 between 60 Self-check
and 140 and 90
Mild between 140 between 90 Consult your
hypertension and 160 and 100 doctor
Moderately between 160 between 100 Consult your
serious and 180 and 110 doctor
hypertension
Serious higher than 180 higher than 110 Consult your
hypertension doctor
immediately
☞Further information
•If your values are mostly standard under resting conditions but
exceptionally high under conditions of physical or psychological
stress, it is possible that you are suffering from so-called «labile
IB BP 3BU1-5 VarB 0702.qxd 13.08.2002 8:41 Uhr Seite 8

hypertension». Please consult your doctor if you suspect that
this might be the case.
•Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above
120mmHg require immediate medical treatment.
2.3. What can be done, if regular increased/low values are
obtained?
a) Please consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood-pressure values (various forms of hypertension)
are associated long- and medium term with considerable risks
to health. This concerns the arterial blood vessels of your body,
which are endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in
the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of blood to
important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the result.
Furthermore, with long-term continuously increased blood-pres-
sure values, the heart will become structurally damaged.
c) There are many different causes of the appearance of high
blood pressure. We differentiate between the common primary
(essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter
group can be ascribed to specific organic malfunctions. Please
consult your doctor for information about the possible origins of
your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures which you can take, not only for reducing a
medically established high blood pressure, but also for preven-
tion. These measures are part of your general way of life:

A) Eating habits
•Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. Reduce
overweight!
•Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.
•Avoid fatty foods.
B) Previous illnesses
•Follow consistently any medical instructions for treating previ-
ous illness such as:
•Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus)
•Fat metabolism disorder
•Gout
C) Habits
•Give up smoking completely
•Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol
•Restrict your caffeine consumption (Coffee)
D) Physical constitution:
•After a preliminary medical examination, do regular sport.
•Choose sports which require stamina and avoid those which re-
quire strength.
•Avoid reaching the limit of your performance.
•With previous illnesses and/or an age of over 40 years, please
consult your doctor before beginning your sporting activities. He
will advise you regarding the type and extent of types of sport
that are possible for you.
2.4. MAM technology (Microlife Average Mode)
•„MAM technology“ is a new type of concept for optimum relia-
bility in self-measurement of blood pressure.
