    Designed for convenient and easy operation, this device provides a simple, yet accurate method to measure your blood pressure. Your blood pressure is an important parameter that can be used to monitor your health. This device enables you to monitor your blood pressure regularly, and maintain a record of your blood pressure measurements.

    pressure level. 1.1 Features This device uses oscillometric technology to measure the arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The cuff is wrapped around the wrist and is automatically inflated by the air pump. The sensor in the device senses weak fluctuation of the pressure in the cuff produced by extension and contraction of the artery of the wrist in response to each heartbeat.

  • Page 7: Important Information

    1.2A Safety Information • Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed with your doctor or a physician who is familiar with your family history. • If you are undergoing medical treatment and receiving medication, consult your doctor to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure.
  • Page 8 Your blood pressure may be higher when recorded at a hospital or a clinic and may be lower when measured in the relaxing comfort of your home. Due to these variations, we recommend that you record your blood pressure regularly at home as well as at your doctor’s clinic.
  • Page 9 • If you have been diagnosed with a severe arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, vascular constriction, liver disorders, or diabetes, have a cardiac pacemaker, or are pregnant, measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

    · Do not short-circuit the batteries. · Do not use rechargeable batteries. 2. About Blood Pressure Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory center of your brain. Your nervous system allows your body to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations.
  • Page 11 These risks concern the arterial blood vessels of your body, which are endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the result. Furthermore, with long-term increased blood pressure values, the heart will become structurally damaged.

  • Page 12: Normal Blood Pressure Values

    Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and 160 mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure values lie between 90 mmHg and 95 mmHg, consult your doctor. Regular self-checks will be necessary. With blood pressure values that are too low (i.e., systolic values under 105 mmHg or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult with your doctor.
  • Page 13 your values early and react appropriately. Refer to the following table for classifying blood pressure values (units: mmHg) according to the World Health Organization (WHO): Category Systolic Blood Pressure Diastolic Blood Pressure Optimal <120 <80 Normal <130 <85 High Normal 130-139 85-89 Hypertension...

    Further information If your values are mostly “normal” under resting conditions but exceptionally high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you are suffering from so-called “labile hypertension”. In any case, please discuss the values with your doctor. Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120 mmHg require immediate medical treatment.

  • Page 22: Obtaining Accurate Measurements

    • Always take measurements on the same wrist (normally left) and in the same posture. Do not switch between right and left wrists while recording your blood pressure as there may be a difference of up to 10 mmHg pressure between the two wrists.

  • Page 23: B Fitting The Wrist

    • With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead to false results. Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated after at least a 15 second pause or after the arm has been held up in order to allow the accumulated blood to flow away.

  • Page 24: C Choose Your Measurement Position

    Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra room between the cuff and your skin. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate. 4.2C Choose your Measurement Position 1. Choose the position from which you wish to measure - sitting or lying down.
