Instructions for use
Check that the device packaging has not been tampered with and make sure that all contents are present. Before use, ensure that there is no visible damage to the device or accessories and that all packaging material has been removed. If you have any doubts, do not use the device and contact your retailer or the specified Customer Services address.
The upper arm blood pressure monitor is used for non-invasive measurement and monitoring of adults' arterial blood pressure. You can use it to measure your blood pressure quickly and easily, storing the results and displaying the progression of readings together with the average. A warning is issued for anyone suffering from cardiac arrhythmia.
The recorded values are classified and evaluated graphically.
Store these instructions for use for future reference and make them accessible to other users.
The following symbols are used in these instructions for use, on the packaging and on the type plate for the device and accessories:

The device features a touch screen display. To prevent the screen from being activated accidentally, keep the touch screen activation switch set to OFF when the device is not in use. To operate the device, move the touch screen activation switch to ON. When the touch screen display is touched (START/STOP button or MEM button), a beep is output. Tip: You can switch off the device at any time by setting the touch screen activation switch to the OFF position.
Thanks to the cuff holder on the underside of the device, you have the option of conveniently storing the cuff. To do so, push out the cuff holder with both thumbs until it locks into place (see also Chapter: Inserting battery).
The blood pressure monitor also allows you to transfer your measured values to the computer.
For this, you will need a standard USB cable (included in delivery) and the "beurer HealthManager" computer software.
The software can be downloaded free of charge from the download area under Service at www.beurer.com.
System requirements for the "beurer HealthManager" PC software
If the battery change is continuously illuminated, measurement is no longer possible and you must replace all the batteries. Once batteries have been removed from the device, the time must be reset.
Used batteries do not belong in the household waste. You are legally obliged to dispose of the batteries. Dispose of them via your specialist electrical supplier or local collec ting point for recyclable waste.
You should set the date and time without fail. Otherwise, you will not be able to save your measured values correctly with a date and time and to access them again later.
Tip: If you press and hold the MEM button, you can set the values more quickly.
To set the date and time, proceed as follows:
Note: In 24h mode, the date is displayed as day/month. In 12h mode, as month/day.
You can also operate this device with a mains part.
When doing so, there must not be any batteries in the battery compartment. The mains part can be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service address using order number 071.95.
Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring. The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
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.
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 instrument should only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 30 cm. A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 30 to 42 cm is available from retailers or the service address under order no. 163.246.
Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates the measurement with the flashing icon .
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, 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 flashing icon is displayed after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for 5 minutes between measurements and not talk or move during the measurement. If the icon appears often, please contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based on the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor's instructions.
Risk indicator:
The measurements 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 and the scale on the unit show 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 |
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 |

Connect the blood pressure monitor to your PC using the USB cable.
No data transfer may be launched whilst performing a measurement.
PC is shown on the display. Begin the data transfer in the "beurer HealthManager" PC software. During the data transfer, an animation is shown on the display. A successful data transfer is displayed as in figure 1. If the data transfer is unsuccessful, an error message appears as in figure 2. In this case, interrupt the PC connection and start the data transfer again.
After 30 seconds of not being in use or if com munication with the PC is interrupted, the blood pressure monitor switches itself off automatically.
In case of faults, the message appears in the display.
Error messages may appear if:
In the above cases, you must repeat the measurement.
Make sure that the cuff tube is properly inserted and that you do not move or talk.
Re-insert the batteries if necessary, or else replace them.
Should the recorded blood pressure (systolic or diastolic) lie outside the limits specified in the section "Technical specifications", the technical alarm will appear on the display indicating either "" or "". In such cases, you should seek medical assistance and check the accuracy of your procedure.
The limit values for the technical alarm are factory set and cannot be adjusted or deactivated. These alarm limit values are accorded second priority under the standard IEC 60601-1-8.
The technical alarm is a non-locking alarm and must not be reset. The signal shown on the display will disappear automatically after about 8 seconds.
