Intended use

The blood pressure monitor with ECG function is used to carry out non-invasive measurement and monitoring of the arterial blood pressure values in adults and to calculate the heart rhythm.
This allows you to quickly and easily measure your blood pressure, save the measured values and display the development and average values of the measured values taken. The recorded values are classified and evaluated graphically.
The ECG is used to calculate the heart rhythm. The device provides information about your average pulse value as well as any divergence from a normal ECG.

The BM 93 blood pressure monitor with ECG function provides the following functions:

  • Integration of blood pressure measurement and ECG measurement into a single device.
  • Measurement of systolic and diastolic pressure.
  • Practical ECG measurement with integrated ECG-electrodes.
  • ECG recording of 30 seconds.
  • Transfer of the data via Bluetooth.

Warnings and safety notes

Notes on using the product

  • In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your blood pressure at the same time of day.
  • Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
  • Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute between the individual measurements.
  • Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
  • The measurements taken by you are for your information only – they are no substitute for a medical examination! Discuss the measured values with your doctor and never base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their administration).
  • Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or patients with preeclampsia. We recom-mend consulting a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
  • Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
  • This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or are instructed by such a person in how to use the device.

General notes on using the ECG

  • The ECG measuring device is a single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) device that you can use to rapidly record an electrocardiogram (ECG). In addition, the device provides a clear evaluation of the recording, particularly as regards any disruption of the heart rhythm.
  • The ECG measuring device displays changes in the heart rhythm, which may have various dif-ferent causes. These may be harmless, but may also be triggered by illnesses or diseases of differing degrees of severity. Please consult a medical specialist if you believe you may have an illness or disease.
  • Electrocardiograms recorded using the ECG measuring device show the heart's function at the time of the measurement. As such, any changes occurring before or after the measurement is taken may not necessarily be detected.
  • ECG measurements, such as those taken with the ECG measuring device, cannot identify all heart diseases. Regardless of the measurement taken, you should consult your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that could indicate acute heart disease. Such symptoms could include (but are not limited to):
    • pain or pressure on the left of the chest area or abdomen,
    • radiating pain in the area of the mouth/jaw/face, or in the shoulders, arm or hands,
    • back pain,
    • nausea,
    • burning sensation in the chest,
    • tendency to collapse,
    • breathlessness,
    • rapid heartbeat or irregular heart rhythm
    • or, in particular, a combination of these symptoms.
  • ALWAYS consult a doctor IMMEDIATELY if you experience any of these symptoms. If you have any doubts, seek an emergency medical examination.
  • Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of the measurement without consulting your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.
  • The ECG measuring device is not a substitute for a medical examination of your heart func-tion or for medical electrocardiogram recordings, which require more complex measurements.
  • It is not possible to use the ECG measuring device to diagnose illnesses or diseases that may be causing an ECG change. This is exclusively the responsibility of your doctor.
  • We recommend that you record the ECG measurements and provide them to your doctor if re-quired. This applies in particular if the status messages of the ECG measuring device do not show the "OK" symbol.

Usage

blood pressure measurement

Before commencing blood pressure measurement, observe the "Notes on using the blood pressure monitor" in chapter "Important notes".

Attaching the cuff


Place the cuff onto the bare upper arm. The circulation of the arm must not be hindered by tight clothing or similar.


The cuff must be placed on the upper arm so that the bottom edge is positioned 2 – 3 cm above the elbow and over the artery. The line should point to the centre of the palm.


Now tighten the free end of the cuff, but make sure that it is not too tight around the arm and close the hook-and-loop fastener. The cuff should be fastened so that two fingers can fit under the cuff.


Now insert the cuff line into the connection for the cuff connector.

This cuff is suitable for you if the index mark ( ) is within the MIN/MAX Range after fitting the cuff on the upper arm.

information If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm, the line should be located on the inside of your elbow. Ensure that your arm is not pressing on the line.

Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which may mean that the measured blood pressure values are different. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different, please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be used for the measurement.


The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 23 up to 43 cm.

Adopting the correct posture

  • Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes. Otherwise deviations can occur.
  • You can take the measurement while sitting or lying. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
    Adopting the correct posture for bp measurement
  • To take your blood pressure, make sure you are sitting comfortably with your arms and back leaning on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
  • To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain still during the measurement and not to speak.
  • When taking the measurement, please keep the device lying flat (horizontally) on the table.

information Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.

Select the user memory

The device has two user memories. Each user memory can store up to 60 measured values. Once all memory spaces in a user memory have been used, the oldest measured values are replaced by the most recent.

  • Briefly press the memory button M. The last set user is displayed. Press and hold the memory button M for 5 seconds to switch between the user memories.

Start the blood pressure measurement

  1. As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the correct posture.
  2. Press the START/STOP button to turn on the device. The device is now in ECG measurement mode. You can now switch between the user memory ( ) by press and hold the button M for 3 seconds. Press the START/STOP button again to start the blood pressure measurement. The blood pressure symbol appears on the display and the cuff inflates. The heart symbol begins to flash as soon as the device detects a pulse.
    information You can cancel the blood pressure measurement at any time by pressing the START/STOP button again. Cancelled blood pressure measurements are not stored.
  3. The results are displayed on the display as soon as the blood pressure measurement is complete.
  4. To switch off the device, press the START/STOP button or wait for 2 minutes until the device- switches off automatically.

Evaluating blood pressure measurement results

Atrial fibrillation
This device can identify atrial fibrillation when measuring the blood pressure and if necessary, indicates this after the measurement with the symbol . Atrial fibrillation is defined by an irregular and often rapid heart rate increasing the risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications. Atrial fibrillation can only be determined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol is shown on the display after the measurement has been taken, repeat the measurement. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Selfdiagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your GPs instructions.

Risk indicator
The measured values can be classified and evaluated in accordance with the following table. However, these standard values serve only as a general guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is classified as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display shows which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g. systole in the 'High normal' category and diastole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical classification on the display always shows the higher category; for the example given this would be 'High normal'.

Blood pressure value category Systole (in mmHg) Diastole (in mmHg) Action
Level 3: severe hypertension ≥ 180 ≥ 110 seek medical attention
Level 2: moderate hypertension 160 – 179 100 – 109 seek medical attention
Level 1: mild hypertension 140 – 159 90 – 99 regular monitoring by doctor
High normal 130 – 139 85 – 89 regular monitoring by doctor
Normal 120 – 129 80 – 84 self-monitoring
Optimal < 120 < 80 self-monitoring
