patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in the

future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be measured.



Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid

constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not

interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.



Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the cuff).

 Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

 Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.

 The artery mark on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie over

the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.

 Support your arm so it is relaxed.

 Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.

4. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement

1. Select standard (single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic

triple measurement): see details in chapter «2.».

2. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.

3. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move

and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement

result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.

4. The cuff fit check AR on the display indicates that the cuff is

perfectly placed. If the icon AR-A appears, the cuff is fitted

suboptimally, but it is still ok to measure.

5. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the

pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,

the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.

6. During the measurement, the pulse indicator BM flashes in the

display.

7. The result, comprising the systolic AL and the diastolic AM blood

pressure and the pulse rate AN is displayed. Note also the

explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.

8. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.

9. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically

after approx. 1 min.).



AF detection is only activated in MAM mode.



You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the

ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant

pressure sensation).



This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and

pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in

pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again

(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your

doctor or gynecologist.

In pregnancy the AFIB symbol can be ignored.

Manual inflation

In case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135 mmHg)

it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press the ON/

OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up to a level of

approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the button pressed

until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic

value – then release the button.

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF

button 1 until «M» AP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by

pressing the MAM button 4.



«CL» is displayed when the reading is deleted from the

memory successfully.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display

points at the

range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The

value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or high

(red) range. The classification corresponds to the following ranges

defined by international guidelines (

ESH, ESC, JSH

). Data in mmHg.

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.

Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of

130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».

Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia (PAD)

This symbol BT indicates that certain pulse irregularities were

detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may

deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-

ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the

symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with

measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.

Please show your doctor the following explanation:

2. blood pressure
