Blood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health

risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may

lead to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in trafﬁc)!

Inﬂuencing and evaluating readings

•

Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the

results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading. i

Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is

also familiar with your personal medical history. When using the unit regularly

and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit the doctor from time

to time to keep him updated. i

When taking readings, remember that the daily values are inﬂuenced by se-

veral factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physical exertion

inﬂuence the measured values in various ways. i

Measure your blood pressure before meals. i

Before taking readings, allow yourself at least 5-10 minutes rest. i

If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low) on

several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor.

This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse

prevents you from taking readings.

appear on the display, together with "AVG". Pressing the M - button again,

the last measurement value will be shown. Repeatedly pressing the M - button

displays the respective values measured previously. If you have reached the

ﬁnal entry and do not press a button, the unit automatically switches itself off

after approximately 2 min. in memory recall mode. Memory recall mode can be

exited at any time by pressing the - button , which will also switch the unit

off. The oldest value is deleted if 120 measured values have been stored in the

memory and a new value is saved.

Delete saved values

If you want to delete the record of a saved measurement, ﬁrst follow the ins-

tructions under "Display stored values" to display the respective record. Now

press and hold the M - button , until CL and "--" appears. Press the -

button to conﬁrm the deletion. i

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored memories,

follow the instructions under "Display stored values" to display the average

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat.

When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings

about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure

and is the ﬁrst value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take

in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are re-

laxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic pressure.

How is blood pressure measured?

The MEDISANA BW 333 is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure

blood pressure from the wrist. The measurement is carried out by a micro-

processor, which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from

the inﬂation and deﬂation of the cuff over the artery.

You must insert the batteries provided before you can use your unit. The lid of the

battery compartment is located on the underside of the unit. Open it by pushing

the cover outward and remove it. Insert the 2 AAA LR03 type 1.5 V batteries sup-

plied. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries (as marked on the

battery compartment cover). i

Close the battery compartment. Replace the batteries immediately, if the partial

change battery symbol ﬂashes on the display and "E6" is appearing

at the same time or if nothing appears on the display after the unit has been

switched on. If the partial change battery symbol appears on the display

constantly together with "E6", the batteries are already in poor condition. If the

full change battery symbol appears, the batteries are in good condition.

Taking a blood pressure measurement

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned,the measurement can begin:

Switch the unit on by pressing the - button . The measurement will also

start immediately. i

The unit is ready for measurement and it automatically inﬂates the cuff slowly

in order to measure your blood pressure. The rising pressure in the cuff is

shown on the display. i

The unit inﬂates the cuff until sufﬁcient pressure has built up for a measure-

ment. Then the unit slowly releases air from the cuff and carries out the mea-

surement. When the device detects the signal, the heart symbol starts i

to ﬂash on the display. i

When the measurement is ﬁnished, the cuff is deﬂated completely. The

systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse value appear on the

display . The blood pressure indicator is shown next to the relevant

coloured bar depending on the WHO blood pressure classiﬁcation. If the unit

has detected an irregular heartbeat, the arrhythmia display will also

be shown.

Instruction Manual

Please read carefully!

Please check ﬁrst of all that the unit is complete.

The following parts are included as standard:

• 1 MEDISANA blood pressure monitor BW 333

• 2 batteries (type AAA, LR03) 1,5V

• 1 storage box

• 1 instruction manual

Please contact your supplier if you notice any

transport damage on unpacking the unit.

Scope of supply

•

Please keep quiet for 5-10 minutes and avoid eating,

drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing

before taking a measurement. All these factors will

inﬂuence the measurement result.

Remove watches or other spruce from your wrist

before measurement.

Always measure on the same wrist (normally left).

Measurements should be taken regularly at the

same time of each day, as the blood pressure varies

even during the day.

Any effort to support the arm during measurement

may increase the measured blood pressure.

Make sure, you are in a comfortable, relaxed posi-

tion and do not move or constrict your muscles

during measurement. Use a cushion to support your

arm if necessary.

If the wrist is not at heart level, a false reading may

be obtained.

A loose or open cuff causes false readings.

With repeated measurements, blood accumulates

in the wrist, what may lead to false readings.

Consecutive blood pressure measurements should

be carried out after a 5-minute pause or after the

arm has been held up in order to allow the accu-

mulated blood to ﬂow normally.
