1. Getting to know your instrument
The upper arm blood pressure monitor is used for non-invasive
measurement and monitoring of adults’ arterial blood pressure.
You can use it to measure your blood pressure quickly and eas-
ily, storing the results and displaying the progression of read-
ings together with the average.
A warning is issued for anyone suffering from cardiac arrhythmia.
The values determined are classified and graphically evaluated
according to WHO guidelines.
Additionally, this blood pressure monitor includes a haemody-
namic stability indicator, which will subsequently be referred
to as a resting indicator. This shows whether the circulatory
system is sufficiently at rest when taking a blood pressure
measurement and is therefore a more precise indicator of your
resting blood pressure. Read more about this on p. 17–18.
Keep these instructions carefully for further use and also let
other users have access to them.
2. Important information
Advice on use
•
Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of
day, in order to ensure that values are comparable.
•
Relax for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
•
You should wait five minutes before measuring a second
time.
•
The readings that you take may only be used for information
purposes – they are not a substitute for a medical examina-
tion! Discuss your results with the doctor. Never use them to
make medical decisions independently (e.g. regarding medi-
cation and dosage thereof).
•
There may be incorrect measurements where there is cardio-
circulatory disease, as well as with very low blood pressure,
circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia and other preexisting dis-
eases.
•
Only use the instrument on persons whose upper arm has
the right circumference for the instrument.
•
You can operate the blood pressure monitor with both batter-
ies and mains. Note that it is only possible to save data when
your blood pressure monitor is receiving power. As soon as
the batteries wear out or you disconnect the mains adapter
from the mains, the blood-pressure instrument loses the date
and time.
•
To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automati-
cally if you do not press any buttons for 3 minutes.
