1. Introduction
1.1. Features
The aneroid blood pressure kit is a non-automated, mechanical blood pressure measuring device
for use on the upper arm.
It offers proven reliability and superior performance at an economical price. With the advanced
non-stop pin mechanism and ergonomic bulb with complete valves, the aneroid blood pressure
kit ensures you a precise and consistent measurement. Nevertheless, its durable nylon cuff,
high-grade bearing and aneroid bellow provide consistent operation. The entire unit stores in a
zippered Nylon bag for easy portability.
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.
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 maximal (systolic blood pressure value), at the end of
the heart’s «rest period» (Diastole) minimal (diastolic blood pressure value). The blood pressure
values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular diseases.
2

2.2 Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or the systolic
blood pressure is over 140 mmHg. 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.
With blood pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100 mmHg and/or diastolic
values under 60 mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor.
Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is re-
commended. 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 pressure, please keep a record of
the level of your blood pressure by carrying 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 prescribed by your doctor.

• Correctlymeasureddiastolicbloodpressurevaluesabove120mmHg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 pressure 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prevention.Thesemeasuresarepartofyourgeneralwayoflife:

Cuff
Ear piece
Stethoscope
Chest piece
Manometer
Bulb & Valves

All these factors influence the measurement result. Try and find time to relax by sitting in
an armchair in a quite atmosphere for about ten minutes before the measurement.
• Removeanygarmentthatfitscloselytoyourupperarm.
• Measurealwaysonthesamearm(normallyleft).
• Attempttocarryoutthemeasurementsregularlyatthesametimeofday,sincetheblood
pressure changes during the course of the day.
4.2. Common sources of error
Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions! These are
normally always quiet conditions.
• Allefforts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 of the muscles in the measu-
rement arm during the measurement. Use a cushion for support if necessary.
• Ifthearmarteryliesconsiderablylower(higher)thantheheart,anerroneouslyhigher(lower)

error of 10 mmHg!)
• Cuffsthataretoonarrowortooshortresultinfalsemeasurementvalues.Selectingthecorrect
cuff is of extraordinary importance. The cuff size is dependent upon the circumference of the arm
(measured in the centre). The permissible range is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for
your use, please contact your dealer. Note: Only use clinically approved Original-Cuffs!

4.3. Fitting the cuff
a) Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube
points in the direction of the lower arm.
b) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make certain
that the lower edge of the cuff lies approximately
2 to 3 cm above the elbow and that the rubber tube
leaves the cuff on the inner side of the arm.
Important! The mark (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie
exactly over the artery which runs down the inner
side of the arm.

2 - 3 cm
tube

c) Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the cuff
with the closer.
d) There must be no free space between the arm and
the cuff as this would influence the result. Clothing
must not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which
does (e.g. a pullover) must be taken off.
e) Secure the cuff with the closer in such a way that it lies
comfortably and is not too tight. Lay the arm on the table
(palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the same height as
the heart. Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
f) Remain seated quietly for 2 minutes before you begin
the measurement.
Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be
placed on the right one. However all measurements should be
made using the same arm.
4.4. Measuring procedure
4.4.1. Put the chest piece under the cuff
The chest piece shall not be placed ON or INTO the cuff, it shall be
placed either under the cuff, or 1 - 2 cm below it. The chest piece
is then placed correctly , when the Korrotkoff’s sound appears
strongest (‘loudest’). Make sure the chest piece is in contact with
skin and above the brachial artery. Wear the binaural (ear pieces)
properly to check the Korotkoff’s sound during measurement.
Before using the stethoscope, be sure there is no crack on the
diaphragm, ear pieces, and tubing. Any improper setup or damage
of the stethoscope will cause distorted sound or poor sound
transmission to make inaccurate reading.

4.4.2. Inflating the cuff
Close the air valve on the bulb by turning the screw clockwise.
Do not over-tighten. Squeeze the inflation bulb with the hand at
a steady rate until the pointer on the gauge is 30 mmHg above
your normal systolic pressure value. If you are not sure the
value, inflate to 200 mmHg first.
4.4.3. Systolic blood pressure reading
Slowly open air valve by turning screw counter clockwise and hold
stethoscope chest piece over brachial artery. Proper deflation rate is
essential for an accurate reading, so you should practice and master
a recommended deflation rate of 2 - 3 mmHg per second or a drop
of 1 - 2 marks on the pressure gauge each heartbeat. You should not
keep the cuff inflated any longer than necessary. As the cuff begins
to deflate, you must listen carefully with the stethoscope. Note the
reading on the gauge as soon as you hear a faint, rhythmic tapping or
thumping sounds. This is the systolic blood pressure reading. Listen
carefully and familiarize yourself with pulse (Korotkoff’s) sound.
4.4.4. Diastolic blood pressure reading
Allow the pressure to continue dropping at the same deflation rate. When your diastolic blood
pressure value reached, the thumping sound stops. Deflate the cuff valve completely. Remove
the cuff from arm and stethoscope from ears.
4.4.5. Record your readings
Repeat the measurement at least two times. Do not forget to record your readings and the time
of the day measurement is made immediately after you finish measuring. A suitable time is first
thing in the morning, or just before evening meals. Remember that your physician is the only
person qualified to analyze your blood pressure.
☞Further information
Measurements should not occur soon after each other, since otherwise, the results will be falsified. Wait
therefore for several minutes in a relaxed position, sitting or lying, before you repeat a measurement.

5. Malfunction / Troubleshooting
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked and if
necessary,thecorrespondingmeasuresaretobetaken:
Malfunction
The sound transmission is
poor, distorted or there is
extraneous noise.
The pressure does not rise
although the bulb is pumping.
The deflation rate can not be
set to 2-3 mmHg/ sec. by
adjusting the air release valve.
Pointer is not at 0 +/- 3 mmHg
at rest.
☞Further information
The level of blood pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people. Important thereby
is, that comparable measurements always require the same conditions (rest condition)!
If, in spite of observing all these factors, the fluctuations are more than 15 mmHg, and/or you
hear irregular pulses on several occasions, please consult your doctor.
You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist if there are technical problems with the blood
pressure instrument. Never attempt to repair the instrument yourself!
Any unauthorised opening of the instrument invalidates all guarantee claims!
Remedy
1. Check the ear pieces if they are plugged or cracked. If not,
make sure they do not fit poorly as worn.
2. Check the tube if it is broken or twisted.
3. Check the bell and diaphragm of chest piece if there is any crack.
4. Make sure the chest piece is in proper contact with skin and
over brachial artery during measuring. Clean or replace any
defective parts if found to avoid inaccurate reading.
1. Make sure that the valve is closed.
2. Make sure the cuff is properly connected to bulb and manometer.
3. Check if the cuff, tube and bulb is leaky. Replace the defective
parts if any.
•Disassemblethevalvefrombulbtocheckifthereisany
blockage in the airway of the valve. Clean the blockage and
try again. If it still does not work, replace it to avoid inaccurate
reading.
1. Make sure that the valve is open for zero check.
2. If still more than 3 mmHg deviation, contact your dealer to
recalibrate the manometer.

6. Care and maintenance, recalibration
With proper care and maintenance, this blood pressure measuring device will provide years of
satisfactoryservice.Followthegeneralrulesbelow:
•Donotdrop.
•Neverinflatebeyond300mmHg.
•Donotexposethedevicetoeitherextremetemparatures,humidity,ordirectsunlight.
•Nevercontactthecufffabricwithasharpinstrument,sincethiscouldcausedamage.

•Wipe off the manometer and bulb with a damp cloth. Sterilization is not necessary, since the parts
of manometer should not come into direct contact with the patient‘s body during measurement.
•Removethebladderfirst,andwipethecloser,bladderandtubeswithadampcloth.Thecuffcan
be washed with soap and cold water. But do rinse the cuff with clear water and keep it air dry.
Periodical recalibration
Sensitive measuring devices must from time to time be checked for accuracy. We therefore
recommend a periodical inspection of the static pressure display every 2 years.
Your specialist dealer would be pleased to provide more extensive information about this.

Prieš pradėdami naudotis prietaisu, įdėmiai perskaitykite šią instrukciją, o vėliau laikykite ją
saugioje vietoje. Jei turite papildomų klausimų, susijusių su kraujospūdžiu ir jo matavimu,
kreipkitės į gydytoją.
DĖMESIO!
1.2. Svarbi informacija apie savarankišką kraujospūdžio matavimą.
• Nepamirškite – savarankiškas kraujospūdžio matavimas reiškia kontrolę, bet ne
diagnozę ar gydymą. Gavę neįprastus matavimo duomenis, būtinai konsultuokitės su
gydytoju. Jokiu būdu nekeiskite gydytojo paskirtų vaistų ar jų dozių.
2. Svarbi informacija apie kraujospūdį ir jo matavimą
2.1. Kaip atsiranda aukštas/žemas kraujospūdis?
Kraujospūdį reguliuoja smegenyse esantis cirkuliacinis centras, nerviniu keliu reaguojantis į
aplinkos veiksnius . Koreguojant kraujospūdį, kinta širdies susitraukimų stiprumas ir dažnis
(pulsas) bei cirkuliacinių kraujagyslių spindis. Pastarasis kinta dėl plonųjų raumenų skaidulų,
esančių kraujagyslių sienelėse. Arterinis kraujospūdis keičiasi periodiškai: širdžiai susitraukiant
(sistolė) sistolinis kraujospūdis būna aukščiausias, o širdžiai «atsipalaiduojant» (diastolė) –
diastolinis kraujospūdis žemiausias.
14

15
2.2
Koks kraujospūdis laikytinas normaliu?
Kraujospūdis yra aukštas, jei ilsintis diastolinis kraujospūdis viršija 90 mmHg ir/arba
sistolinis kraujospūdis aukštesnis nei 140 mmHg. Tokiu atveju nedelsiant kreipkitės į
gydytoją. Ilgalaikis nurodyto lygio kraujospūdis pavojingas Jūsų sveikatai, nes yra susijęs su
progresuojančiais kraujagyslių pažeidimais.
Į gydytoją kreipkitės ir tada, kai kraujospūdis per žemas (sistolinis kraujospūdis yra žemesnis
nei 100 mmHg ir/arba diastolinis – žemesnis nei 60 mmHg). Net ir esant normaliam
kraujospūdžiui patartina reguliariai jį matuoti. Tai padeda laiku pastebėti kraujospūdžio
pakitimus ir tinkamai į juos reaguoti.
Jei Jūs gydomas nuo hipotenzijos ar hipertenzijos, kas dieną tuo pačiu metu matuokite ir
registruokite kraujospūdį. Matavimo duomenis parodykite gydytojui.
Niekada savarankiškai nekeiskite gydytojo paskirtų vaistų dozių remdamiesi savo
matavimų rezultatais.

☞ Papildoma informacija
• Jei Jūsų kraujospūdis normalus kai ilsitės, tačiau fizinio ar fiziologinio streso sąlygomis smarkiai
padidėja – Jūs tikriausiai sergate «labilia hipertenzija». Jei įtariate, kad tai yra kraujospūdžio
pokyčių priežastis, kreipkitės į gydytoją.
• Jei teisingai atlikus matavimus diastolinis kraujospūdis yra didesnis nei 120 mmHg,
nedelsiant būtinas medicininis gydymas.
2.3. Ką daryti, jei kraujospūdis nuolat per aukštas ar per žemas?
a) Pirmiausia kreipkitės į gydytoją
b) Ilgalaikis ar vidutinės trukmės kraujospūdžio padidėjimas (įvairios hipertenzijos formos)
yra pavojingas sveikatai. Tai kelia pavojų Jūsų kraujagyslėms, susiaurėjusioms dėl
aterosklerozės. Rezultatas – sumažėjęs gyvybiškai svarbių organų (širdies, smegenų,
raumenų) aprūpinimas krauju. Be to, ilgalaikis nuolatinis kraujospūdžio padidėjimas
pakeičia anatominę širdies struktūrą.
c) Yra daug kraujospūdžio padidėjimo priežasčių. Hipertenzija gali būti įprastinė pirminė arba
antrinė. Pastaroji gali būti priskirta prie tam tikrų organų veiklos sutrikimų. Norint sužinoti
galimas Jūsų padidėjusio kraujospūdžio priežastis,būtina konsultuotis su gydytoju.
d) Mediciniškai nustačius padidėjusį kraujospūdį, o taip pat ir padidėjimo profilaktikai galima
imtis tam tikrų priemonių, kurios, beje, yra Jūsų gyvenimo dalis:
A) Valgymo įpročiai
• Siekite normalaus, Jūsų amžių atitinkančio svorio. Sumažinkite antsvorį!
• Nevartokite daug druskos!
• Venkite riebaus maisto!
B) Persirgtos ligos
Nuosekliai laikykitės gydytojų nurodymų kitoms ligoms (diabetui, podagrai, riebalų medabolizmo
sutrikimams) gydyti.
C) Įpročiai
• Nerūkykite!
• Saikingai vartokite alkoholį!
