General notes on using the ECG stick

• The ECG measuring device is a single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) device that you can use to rapidly record an electrocardiogram (ECG). In addition, the device provides a clear evaluation of the recording, particularly as regards any disruption of the heart rhythm.
• The ECG measuring device displays changes in the heart rhythm, which may have various different causes. These may be harmless, but may also be triggered by illnesses or diseases of differing degrees of severity. Please consult a medical specialist if you believe you may have an illness or disease.
• Electrocardiograms recorded using the ECG measuring device show the heart's function at the time of the measurement. As such, any changes occurring before or after the measurement is taken may not necessarily be detected.
• ECG measurements, such as those taken with the ECG measuring device, cannot identify all heart diseases. Regardless of the measurement taken, you should consult your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that could indicate acute heart disease. Such symptoms could include (but are not limited to):
  • pain or pressure on the left of the chest area or abdomen,
  • radiating pain in the area of the mouth/jaw/face, or in the shoulders, arm or hands,
  • back pain,
  • nausea,
  • burning sensation in the chest,
  • tendency to collapse,
  • breathlessness,
  • rapid heartbeat or irregular heart rhythm
  • or, in particular, a combination of these symptoms.
• ALWAYS consult a doctor IMMEDIATELY if you experience any of these symptoms. If you have any doubts, seek an emergency medical examination.
• Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of the measurement without consulting your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.
• The ECG measuring device is not a substitute for a medical examination of your heart function or for medical electrocardiogram recordings, which require more complex measurements.
• It is not possible to use the ECG measuring device to diagnose illnesses or diseases that may be causing an ECG change. This is exclusively the responsibility of your doctor.
• We recommend that you record the ECG curves and provide them to your doctor if required. This applies in particular if the status messages of the ECG measuring device do not show the "OK" symbol.

Measuring blood pressure

Before commencing blood pressure measurement, observe the "Notes on using the blood pressure monitor" in chapter "Important notes".

Attaching the cuff

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

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

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 can fit under the cuff.

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

This cuff is suitable for you if the index mark ( ) is within the OK range after fitting the cuff on the upper arm.

If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm, the line should be located on the inside of your elbow. Ensure that your arm is not pressing on the line.

Blood pressure may 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. Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which may mean that the measured blood pressure values are different.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different, please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be used for the measurement.

The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 up to 42 cm.

Adopting the correct posture

• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes. Otherwise deviations can occur.
• You can take the measurement while sitting or lying. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
  
• To take your blood pressure, make sure you are sitting comfortably with your arms and back lean-ing on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain still during the measurement and not to speak.
• When taking the measurement, please keep the device lying flat (horizontally) on the table.

Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.

Start the blood pressure measurement

1. As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the correct posture.
2. Press the START/STOP button to start the blood pressure measurement. The blood pressure symbol appears on the display and the cuff inflates. The heart symbol begins to flash in sync as soon as the device detects a pulse.
   You can cancel the blood pressure measurement at any time by pressing the START/STOP button again. Cancelled blood pressure measurements are not stored.
3. The results are displayed on the display as soon as the blood pressure measurement is complete.
4. To switch off the device, press the START/STOP button or wait for 2 minutes until the device switches off automatically.

Evaluating measurement results

The measured values can be classified and evaluated in accordance with the following table. However, these standard values serve only as a general guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people and different age groups etc.
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 bar chart on the display shows which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g. systole in the 'High normal' category and diastole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical classification on the device always shows the higher category; for the example given this would be 'High normal'.

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

ECG measurement

Preparing the ECG measurement

Observe the following before beginning the ECG measurement:

• Never use the ECG stick on top of clothing.
• If the electrode surfaces of the ECG stick are dirty, clean them with a cotton bud soaked in rubbing alcohol.
• If your skin or hands are dry, moisten them using a damp cloth before the measurement.
• Please note that there must be no skin contact between your right and left hand (measurement method C) or hand and chest (measurement methods A/B). Otherwise, the measurement cannot be taken correctly.
• Ensure that your right hand does not come into contact with your body during the measurement. To ensure an accurate measurement, press only lightly on the upper and lower electrodes of the ECG stick.
• Never use the ECG stick upside down.
• Do not speak or move while carrying out the ECG measurement as this can cause inaccuracies during the measurement.
• When taking the measurement, please keep the device lying flat (horizontally) on the table.

Taking the ECG measurement

There are three different methods of taking the measurement. Start with measurement method A, "right index finger – chest". If this method does not deliver measurements, or delivers only unstable measurements ("EE" is frequently displayed), switch to method B "left index finger – chest" and, if necessary, to method C "left hand – right hand".

The most suitable method/procedure depends on the heart configuration (shape of the heart) of each individual user. If it is not possible to take stable measurements using a given measurement method, this could have a harmless cause such as the shape of the heart. However, the cause may also be an illness or disease.

Measurement method C offers maximum comfort, but offers a much lower measurement stability than methods A or B.

1. Insert the ECG stick cable into the connection for the ECG stick on the main unit.
2. Briefly press the activation switch on the ECG stick to switch on the device.
3. Press and hold the memory button M for 3 seconds to select the desired user memory ( or ).
