Connect the cuff to the device
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector
into the cuff connector socket.
Fitting the cuff properly
1) Place the cuff over the left (right) upper arm so that the
air tube and artery mark arrow point towards the lower
arm.
2) Put the cuff around the arm. Make sure that the lower
edge of the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3cm ( ¾ to 1
inch) above the elbow.
2-3 cm
(3/4 to 1 inch)
Before using the device (cont.)

3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4) Leave a little free space between the arm of the patient
and the cuff. It must be possible to t 2 ngers between
the arm and the cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm.
Remove all clothing covering or constricting the arm to
be measured.
5) It may result in incorrect blood pressure readings if the
cuff does not t properly. Use a different size cuff if the
range index at the end of the cuff does not fall into the
range specied by the range stripes.
6) Apply the same steps to the other arm if a measurement
of the other arm is required.
* When the cuff is wrapped around
the arm, the edge of the cuff should
be in the range which is marked
“OK”.

the button when it reaches the needed pressure. Press and
hold the «Auscult.» button to repump during deaing; press
«Start/Stop» button to release pressure during deating.

Viewing the stored values
The device stores only the blood pressure values of the
last measurement procedure in Single mode and Cycling
mode. Press the M Button in Single mode or Cycling
mode to review the stored readings.
In Cycling mode, the average is displayed rst. Press M
Button repeatly to review the indevidual readings of the
3 measurements in Cycling mode.

MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)
The device measures the true mean arterial pressured
(MAP) of the patient. Each measurement includes a
single MAP value. The average measurement will display
the average MAP value. Press the "MAP" button to view
the MAP when the measurements is displayed or when
viewing the memory.
*The Mean Arterial Pressure MAP in this device is
determined from the maximum peak of the oscillometric
envelope curve.

Appearance of the atrial brillation
indicator for early detection
The device is designed to detect asymptomatic atrial
brillation during blood pressure measurements in the
«CYCLING» Mode. If two out of three measurements
detect atrial brillation, the Ab icon is displayed. This
device is able to detect atrial brillation with high
sensitivity of 97% and specicity of 89%.*If the
atrial brillation icon is displayed after the measurement,
it is recommended to visit a doctor.

* This device detects atrial brillation, a major cause of stroke.
Not all risk factors for stroke, including atrial utter, may be
detected by this device.
* This device may not detect atrial brillation in people with
pacemakers or debrillators. People with pacemakers
or debrillators should not use this device to detect atrial
brillation.

Special Function (cont.)
About Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial brillation is a common heart rhythm problem. It
affects more than 2 million people in North America. It
is more common in older age and it is found in 10% of
people over 80 years old. It is a common cause of major
strokes. About 15% of all strokes are caused by atrial
brillation.
The elderly or those with high blood pressure, diabetes or
heart disease are more likely to get a stroke if they have
atrial brillation.
Atrial brillation is a rhythm problem that can last from
a few minutes, to days, weeks or even years. Atrial
brillation can cause blood clots in the upper chambers
of the heart (the atria). These clots can break off and ow
to the brain causing a stroke.
The use of blood thinners, such as warfarin, can lower the
risk of stroke in patients with atrial brillation.
A doctor can conrm the presence of Ab by using an ECG.
Sometimes Ab is present incidentally. Therefore, a doctor
may not see it on regularly scheduled visits.
One method of detecting Ab is by mean of palpations.
This method is not very reliable. Failure of detecting Ab
may in the end lead to the occurrence of a stroke; whereas
early detection may lead to early treatment that can
signicantly reduce the chances of a stroke.

EN
16
Atrial Fibrillation Detector
The device can screen for atrial brillation during blood
pressure measurement.
Some people may have atrial brillation occasionally
that lasts longer than a day. In this situation the device
allows frequent screening on multiple days for optimal
diagnosis of atrial brillation.
Sometimes the device might falsely detect atrial
brillation which can have two causes:
1) The arm has moved during blood pressure
measurement. For this reason it is of essential
importance that the arm is kept still during the
measurement.
2) Some other arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) than
atrial brillation might be present.
For people with pacemakers or debrillators it is not
recommended to use the device for detecting Atrial
Fibrillation.
Information for the doctor
This device is designed to detect atrial brillation and
false negative readings are very rare. Though it is
programmed to specically detect atrial brillation,
frequent premature beats, marked sinus arrhythmia
or other rhythm abnormalities might cause false
positive readings. If atrial brillation is detected by the
device, we suggest to perform another measurement
in the doctor’s ofce. If the atrial brillation icon is
not displayed then the previous abnormal readings
may have been due to transient atrial brillation.
If the atrial brillation icon is displayed then EKG
performance is suggested for determining the exact
rhythm abnormality.

Taking fewer than Three measurements
In «CYCLING» Mode , the measurement sequence can
be stopped at anytime by pushing the «Start/Stop»
button. The device enters stand-by and remaining
measurements are cancelled. Data from the measured
blood pressure can be viewed by pushing the M Button.
Skipping the countdown time
The 15 seconds countdown before measurement in
«CYCLING» Mode can be skipped by pressing the «Start/
Stop» button. The device will immediately begin the next
measurement.
*The device goes into stand-by by pressing the «Start/Stop»
button after the measurements completed. The device will
automatically switch to stand-by if left unattended for one
minutes.
Cancel remaining
measurements at
anytime during
the measurement
sequence.
Skip the countdown time
and begin measurement.

The pulse signals on
the cuff are too weak.
Re-position the cuff and
repeat the measurement.
«Err 2»Error signal During the measurement,
error signals were
detected by the cuff,
caused for instance by
movement or muscle
tension. Repeat the
measurement, keeping
