GENERAL INFORMATION

INDICATIONS FOR USE
This Instruction Manual is designed to assist the user with safe and eff ective operation
of the digital blood pressure monitor DSK-1031 (hereinafter – the "Device"). The device
is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate reading in
patients aged 12 years and older. This device should not be used for newborn children.
The incorrect measurement result is also possible when the device is operated in a baby
hand. Consult your doctor for blood pressure measurement in children. The device is rec-
ommended for use in patients with unstable (nonpermanent) blood pressure or hyper-
tension at home as a supplement to medical surveillance. The cuff is suitable for a upper
arm with a circumference of about 22 - 42 cm. Blood pressure is measured in the range
from 40 to 250 mm Hg and heart rate, in the range from 40 to 160 heartbeats per minute.
OPERATION PRINCIPLES
The device uses the oscillometric method of measurement. The cuff connected to
the electronic module is wrapped around the upper arm.
When you press the START/STOP button, the device starts the automatic infl ation,
which is followed by the blood pressure measurement. The sensor element of the
device detects slight pressure oscillations in the cuff produced by the expansion
and contraction of the brachial artery in response to each heartbeat. Infl ation is
stopped when the cuff is pumped enough to determine diastolic and systolic pres-
sure, whereupon the air is discharged from the cuff . Rhythm and amplitude of the
pressure waves are measured and displayed on the LC display as a numerical value
in millimeters of mercury. The device has an arrhythmia indicator, as well as two
memories with 60 cells in each calculating the average value.
NISSEI New Technologies
Fuzzy Infl ation Algorithm – is an algorithm for automatic selection
of the cuff infl ation pressure. Using this algorithm, the device by itself
determines the pressure level to which it is necessary to infl ate the cuff
based on the patient's systolic pressure. Owing to the Fuzzy Infl ation
algorithm the device becomes easier to use, while the measurement gets
more comfortable and more accurate.
Arrhythmia indicator is a special icon on the display that informs on the
irregular heartbeat, while the measurement result is correct.
