MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Measurement preparation
•Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly. All these
factors inuence the measurement result. Try and nd time to relax
by sitting in an armchair in a quite atmosphere for about ten minutes
before the measurement.
•Measure always on the same arm (normally left).
•Try to carry out measurements regularly at the same time of the day,
since the blood pressure level changes during the course of the day.

Common sources of error
NOTE:
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same
conditions! In a state of physical and emotional rest.
•Take a comfortable position, relax and do not toughen muscles of the
arm subject to measurements. If necessary, use a cushion for support.
•The performance of an automatic blood pressure monitor can be iu-
enced by extreme environmental conditions: high or low temperature,
humidity, elevation of the measurement point above sea level.
•Prevent deformation and twisting of the cu tube.
•Improper (loose) xation of the cu on the arm causes false measure-
ment values.
Fixation of the cu
Insert the connector into the cu connection opening (as shown in Pic. 1) and
make sure that the connection is tight.
1. Fix the cu with Velcro fastener so that it
lies comfortably and ts snugly to your arm.
The distance between the edge of the cu
and the middle of the elbow should be
about 1~2 cm.

2. Lay the arm on a table, with the palm
upwards. The cu should be at the level
of the heart, if necessary place a cushion
under the forearm. Ensure support of the
arm on a horizontal surface. Stay calm for
2 minutes before measurement.
3. Keep your legs straight and uncrossed, lean
on the back of the chair.
Measuring procedure
When the cu is securely xed, you can start
measurement:
1. Press the ON / OFF button, air blowing
will start into the cu chamber. During this
time, the cu pressure values are continu-
ously displayed.
2. When a certain level of pressure in the cu
is reached, the air gradually comes out of it.
The display shows the numbers of the cu
pressure values. If there is a pulsation in the
artery, the heart symbol will blink on the
display.
After the measurement is
completed, the display will
show the values of systolic,
diastolic pressure and pulse
rate.

pulse 68,
arrhythmia indicator .
The measurement results are displayed, until you
switch the device o. If no button is pressed for
3 minutes, the device switches automatically o, to
save the batteries.
Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason
(e.g. the patient feels unwell), the ON / OFF Button can be pressed at any time.
The device then immediately lowers the cu–pressure automatically.
Saving and recall of measurement results in the device's memory
The blood pressure monitor automatically stores each of the last 120 meas-
urement values. By pressing the MEMORY button, an average value of the
last 3 measurements (MR) as well as the last measurement and the previous
119 measurements can be displayed one after the other (MR19, MR18, ...,
MR1).

Deleting all measurement results from the device's memory
Before you delete all readings stored in the memory, make sure you will not
need refer to the readings at a later date. You may keep a self–monitoring diary
and record data in writing to provide additional information to your doctor.
In order to delete all stored readings,
press and hold the MEMORY button for
at least 5 seconds until the display shows
“CL”, then release the button. The "CL"
symbol will start blinking. To permanent-
ly clear the memory, press the MEMORY
button while the "CL" symbol is blinking.
APPEARANCE OF THE
ARRHYTHMIA INDICATOR
This symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected
during the measurement.
In most cases, this is no cause for concern (for example, with the so-called
respiratory arrhythmia, which is a normal variant). However, if the symbol ap-
pears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measurements taken
daily), you are advised to inform your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation.
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also analyses pulse
frequency during measurement. The device is clinically tested. The arrhythmia
symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse irregularities occur during
measurement.
The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect
rhythm disturbance at an early stage.

ERROR MESSAGES / MALFUNCTION
If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement is discontinued
and a corresponding error code is displayed.
Error code Possible cause(s)
The device can not determine the value of the pulse
The inuence of external impact on the measurement results.
Reason: The arm was moved during the Measurement (Artefact)
The ination of the cu takes too long. Reason: the cu is not
correctly seated
The measured readings indicated an unacceptable dierence
between systolic and diastolic pressures. Take another reading
following directions carefully. Contact you doctor if you continue to
get unusual readings
If pressure is over 290 mmHg
Other possible malfunctions and their elimination
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be checked
and if necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken.
Malfunction Remedy
The device does not
turn on
Check batteries for correct polarity and if necessary insert
correctly
Check batteries performance and replace if necessary

13
en
The device gives an
error message sever-
al times in succession
or the measurement
values do not corre-
spond to subjective
general condition
(too high / low)
Check the positioning of the cu
Measure the blood pressure again in peace and quiet under
observance of the details following the requirements out-
lined in the “Measurement procedure” section
The results of several
consecutive meas-
urements vary sig-
nicantly
Please read and understand "The most common causes
of errors" section. Repeat the measurement again, making
sure all the rules for its execution are followed.
NOTE: The blood pressure is a dynamic value and uc-
tuates continually, therefore, a minor dierence in val-
ues is acceptable between consecutive measurements
Blood pressure
measured diers
from those values
measured by the
doctor
Keep a self–monitoring diary and show it to your doctor at
the next visit.
NOTE: A patient may experience "white coat syndrome"
at the doctor’s appointment, so the pressure readings
are higher than in a familiar home environment
Additional information
•The level of blood pressure is subject to uctuations even with healthy
people. Important thereby is, that comparable measurements always
require the same conditions (Quiet conditions)! If, in spite of observ-
ing all these factors, the uctuations are larger than 15 mmHg, and / or
you hear irregular pulse tones on several occasions, please consult your
doctor. The manufacture of the devices takes place according to the
terms of the European standard for blood pressure measuring devices
(see technical data).
•Never attempt to repair the device yourself.
•If you have questions related to the operation of the device and possi-
ble malfunctions, please contact the ocial representative of the manu-
facturer or the service center. Any manipulations with the device
(opening, mechanical or any other damage) will void all warranty claims.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT
OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT
Causes aecting the blood pressure level
The blood pressure level is regulated by a specic region of the brain – vaso-
motor center. The blood pressure change is subject to the heart force and rate
as well as the tone and lumen of blood vessels. Relaxation of the unstriated
muscles of the blood vessel walls results in pressure reduction due to the
expansion of the lumen of blood vessels.
The blood pressure level changes periodically during cardiac activity: the maxi-
mum value (systolic blood pressure value) is observed in the period of blood
ejection out of the heart ventricles (systole), the minimum value (diastolic
blood pressure value) is observed at the end of the relaxation period (diastole).
The blood pressure values must lie within normal ranges to prevent critical
condition of health.
Which values are normal?
The blood pressure is considered to be elevated, if at rest the diastolic pres-
sure level is 90 mmHg or above and / or the systolic pressure level is above
140 mmHg. In this case, please consult your doctor. Maintenance of such
pressure levels for a long period of time pose risk to health.
Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and
160 mmHg and / or the diastolic blood pressure values lie between 90 mmHg
and 100 mmHg, please consult your doctor immediately. Furthermore, regu-
lar self–checks will be necessary.
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 recommended. In this way you can timely detect devia-
tions from permissible values and take the necessary measures to prevent
hypertension and the development of complications. If for medical reasons
you have to control your blood pressure, measure it regularly at the same
time of the day and keep a self–monitoring diary so that the doctor could
evaluate changes in values.

Never use the results of your measurements to alter independently the
drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
