TENSOVAL MOBIL Instructions For Use Manual page 80

Preliminary remarks
Please read these instructions
carefully before first use as
correct blood pressure measure-
ment depends on the appropriate
use of the device.
These instructions for use are
designed to instruct you, from the
very start, in the individual steps of
self-measurement of blood pressure
using Tensoval mobil. You will thus
receive important and helpful hints
for producing reliable results for
your personal blood pressure
profile. Be sure to keep these
instructions for use for future
reference.

What is Comfort Air
Technology?
Many automatic blood pressure
devices use preset inflation
pressures. Comfort Air Technology,
on the other hand, automatically
determines a person's individual
systolic (upper) blood pressure
during inflation and adjusts the
inflation pressure by adding 30
mmHg to this individual systolic
pressure.
For medical reasons and to ensure
measuring accuracy, the inflation
pressure used for blood pressure
measurement should be about
30 mmHg greater than the expec-
ted systolic blood pressure.
What are the benefits of
Comfort Air Technology?
A user whose systolic blood
pressure is, for example,
130 mmHg and who is using a
blood pressure device with a preset
inflation pressure of, for example,
190 mmHg, may experience
discomfort during blood pressure
measurement because the
difference between the systolic
pressure and the device's inflation
pressure is large.
English
When using Comfort Air
Technology, the pressure diffe-
rence would be only 30 mmHg.
Automatically determining this
person's individual systolic blood
pressure during inflation rather
than using a preset inflation
pressure, this technology would
only inflate to, for example,
160 mmHg.
This means that this blood pressure
device only ever uses the inflation
pressure that is really needed for
accurate and gentle blood pressure
measurements without causing user
discomfort.
Comfort Air Technology gives you
accurate readings and is simple and
comfortable to use.
