4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that
also analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instru-
ment is clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol
appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on
measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but
serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

5. Traffic Light Indication in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the traffic light display BM show
you the range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (red)
range. The classification corresponds to the 6 ranges in the Table
as defined by the WHO, as described in «Section 1.».

6. Data Memory

At the end of a measurement, this instrument automatically stores
each result, including date and time.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button AT briefly, when the instrument is switched
off. The display first shows «M» AP and then a value, e.g. «M 17».
This means that there are 17 values in the memory. The instrument
then switches to the last stored result.
BP A100 Plus
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to toggle between one
stored value and another.

Memory full

When the memory has stored 200 results, the display shows
«Full M» after a measurement. From this point onwards, a
new measured value is stored by overwriting the oldest
value.

Clear all values

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the instrument must have been
switched off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
while «CL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.

7. Replacing the Slot-in Card

You can replace the slot-in card 3 by pulling it out to the side, as
shown in Fig. IV and replacing the paper insert.
It may be helpful to have your doctor note down the medication
dosage or an emergency telephone number on the card. Extra
cards are supplied with the instrument for this purpose.

8. Setting the Alarm Function

This instrument allows you to set 2 alarm times at which an alarm
signal will then be triggered. This can be a useful aid, for instance
as a reminder to take medication.
1. To set an alarm time, press the time button AL (the instrument
must have been switched off beforehand) and immediately
afterwards the M-button AT and hold both down until the bell
symbol BN appears in the bottom left of the display. Then
release both buttons. The flashing «1» in the display indicates
that the first alarm time can now be set.
2. Press the time button to set the hours – the hour display flashes
and pressing the M-button allows you to set the alarm hour. To
confirm, press the time button.
3. The minute display will now flash. The minutes can be set using
the M-button. To confirm, press the time button again.
4. The bell symbol will now flash. Use the M-button to select
whether the alarm time is to be active (bell) or inactive (crossed-
out bell). To confirm, press the time button.
