Preliminary remarks
Please read these instructions for use
carefully before first use, as correct
blood pressure measurement depends on the
appro priate 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 duo control. You will thus receive
important and helpful hints for producing reliable
results for your personal blood pressure profile.
Use this device according to the information
described in the instructions for use and keep
these in a safe place.
Duo Sensor Technology
The innovative Duo Sensor
Technology combines two
professional measuring
technologies: the oscillometric
Duo Sensor
technology and the Korotkoff
Technology
technology.
Whilst most automatic blood pressure
measurement devices only use oscillometric
technology, Duo Sensor Technology also utilises
Korotkoff´s highly accurate method of blood
pressure measurement, which is also used by
physicians to measure blood pressure. It is
characterised by its reduced susceptibility to
malfunction, producing correct measured values
even in patients with heart rhythm disorders.
Physicians use a stethoscope to listen to the
so-called Korotkoff sounds and thereby to
determine blood pressure; the Tensoval duo
control does exactly the same via an integrated
microphone.
Duo Sensor Technology thus produces accurate
results and is still easy to use.
Comfort Air Technology
The Comfort Air Technology
enables approximate
deter mination of the systolic
blood pressure value during
inflation and on that basis
determines the individually
required inflation pressure for blood pressure
measurement. This allows measurements on the
upper arm to be taken with less discomfort.
