  • Use the unit consistent with the instruction provided in this manual.

Advice on use

  • For consistency, always measure your blood pressure at the same time each day.
  • Always wait at least 5 minutes between measurements to allow the blood circulation in your arm to return to normal. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics. Because of normal physiologic changes and the many external factors influencing blood pressure, it is unusual to obtain identical blood pressure measurements, even when taken a few minutes apart. Speak with your physician to determine what is affecting your blood pressure and which variation may be seen as normal in your case.
  • When performing multiple measurements on an individual, wait five minutes between each measurement.
  • Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking measurement.
  • Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the results.
  • Measurements are for your information only – they are no substitute for a medical examination. Discuss the measurements 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, pregnant women or patients with pre-eclampsia. Consult your 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.
  • For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure, keeping long-term records is recommended.
  • To minimize measurement variations due to physical activity, rest at least 5 minutes before measuring your blood pressure (or 15 minutes after strenuous activity).
  • Stress raises blood pressure.
  • Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed environment at room temperature.

Battery Handling Safety Precautions

  • Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
  • Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

Measuring Blood Pressure

The blood pressure monitor needs to be at room temperature when measuring. Measurements can be performed on either arm.

Positioning the Cuff

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

Positioning the Cuff Step 1

The cuff must be placed on the upper arm so that the bottom edge is positioned 0.8 - 1.2 in (2-3 cm) above the elbow and over the artery. The line should point to the centre of the palm.

Positioning the Cuff Step 2

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 fit under the cuff.

Positioning the Cuff Step 3

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

Positioning the Cuff Step 4

Blood pressure can 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.

Only use original Beurer cuffs with this device. The included cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 8.6 – 17.3 inches (22 – 44 cm). For larger arm circumferences, contact customer service to order a larger cuff.

Correct Posture

Correct Posture

  • Rest for at least five minutes before each measurement.
  • Perform the measurement either sitting or lying down. Always make sure that the cuff is level with your heart.
  • To perform a measurement, sit comfortably with your arms and back supported. Do not cross your legs and place your feet flat on the floor.
  • Keep still during the measurement and do not talk.
  • Relax your arm and the palm of your hand.

In order to transfer data to the 'beurer HealthCoach' app, you must add the BM67 device to the app under 'My devices'. The 'beurer HealthCoach' app must be active on your nearby mobile device to enable data transfer.

Evaluating Results

Irregular Heartbeat

This device can detect irregular heartbeat patterns during measurement and will indicate them by displaying the irregular heartbeat indicator .

This may be an indicator for arrhythmia, which is a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal. These symptoms (omitted or premature heartbeats, slow or excessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things, by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants, stress, or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascertained through examination by your doctor.

Repeat the measurement if the Irregular Heartbeat Indicator displays after a measurement. Rest for at least five minutes between measurements and do not talk or move during measurement. If the icon appears often, contact your doctor, since self-diagnosis and treatment based solely on the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor's instructions

Blood Pressure Classifications

Measurements can be classified and assessed by the table below. However, these standard values are only a general guideline, since individual blood pressure varies in different people and different age groups, etc.

Blood pressure value category Systole
(in mmHg)
Diastole
(in mmHg)
Action
Setting 3: severe hypertension ≥ 180 ≥ 110 seek medical attention
Setting 2: moderate hypertension 160 – 179 100 – 109 seek medical attention
Setting 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

Source: WHO, 1999

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 classification on the display and the scale on the unit show which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If the systolic and diastolic values fall into two different categories, the classification indicator on the device always shows the higher category.

800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site surveya should be less than the compliance level in each frequency rangeb. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Sphygmomanometer (BM 67) is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Sphygmomanometer (BM 67) should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Sphygmomanometer (BM 67).
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
