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 BU 530 is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure
blood pressure at the upper arm. 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.
Blood pressure classification WHO
These values have been specified by the World Health Organisation (WHO)
without making any allowance for age.
Low blood pressure
systolic <100
diastolic <60
o
Normal blood pressure

WARNING
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)!
i
Influencing and evaluating readings
i
•
Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the
i
results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading.
•
Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is
i
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
to release the air
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
i
several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor.
i
This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse
i
prevents you from taking readings.
i
i
Starting up
Insert / replace batteries
i
You must insert the batteries provided before you can use your unit. The lid of
the battery compartment
6
is located on the underside of the unit. Open it by
slightly pushing it and moving it upwards. Remove it and insert the 4 AAA LR03
type 1.5V batteries supplied. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries
i
(as marked inside the battery compartment). Close the battery compartment.
Replace the batteries if the change battery symbol
r
appears on the display
i
if nothing appears on the display after the unit has been switched on.
i
Using a Mains Adaptor
Alternatively, you can use the unit with a special mains adaptor (MEDISANA Art.-
i
No. 51125). This connects to the socket
1
provided at the back of the unit. In
this case the batteries remain in the unit. Inserting the connector into the back of
the blood pressure monitor switches the batteries off mechanically.
i
It is necessary, therefore, to plug the mains adaptor into the mains socket first of
i
all and then to connect it to the blood pressure monitor. If the blood pressure
i
monitor is no longer being used, first remove the connector from the blood pres-
sure monitor and then pull the mains adaptor out of the mains socket. Doing this
i
means that the date and time will not have to be reset each time.
