Getting Started The consequences of having too high blood pressure are a major cause of death these days. Many people are unaware that their blood pressure is too high. This blood pressure monitor helps you to take regular, comparative measurements. Proper use The device is used to measure blood pressure at the wrist and can save 60 measurement values in each of...
This device is intended for use in dry, indoor areas only. The device is only intended for private use and not for industrial or commercial use. Using the device under extreme environmental conditions may result in damage to the device. What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is a measurement of the force that the heart has to exert to pump the blood through the...
Page 16
Systolic and diastolic values With every heartbeat, blood pressure fl uctuates between a maximum value (systolic), when the heart pumps blood into the circulatory system and a minimum value when the heart fi lls up with blood again (diastolic). The average of these values is the average blood pressure.
Page 17
The classifi cation of blood pressure values is based on the defi nition and classifi cation by the WHO (World Health organisation) from 1999. The WHO defi nes high blood pressure as values above 140 mmHg (systolic value) and 90 mmHg (diastolic value). Your blood pressure monitor is fi...

stress). Blood pressure can also be affected by the time of day, time of year and temperature. In addition, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) can lead to imprecise results.

Page 23
• Do not measure your blood pressure if you are under stress or are tense. • Measure your blood pressure at normal body temperature, but not if you are too hot or cold. • Wait for approx. 5 minutes if you want to measure your blood pressure again.

NOTE If you have recorded a value that differs greatly from your normal blood pressure measurement, you should carry out a new measurement after a short period of time in order to exclude the factors listed above that can lead to an incorrect measurement.

Putting on the sleeve Remove clothing from your lower left arm. Attach the wrist sleeve in such a way that it is approx. 0.5 –1 cm away from the palm of your hand. Wrap the sleeve tightly around your wrist so that there is no gap between the sleeve and your wrist.
Page 35
If the sleeve cannot be attached to your left arm and therefore it is not possible to measure your left arm, use your right one instead. Correct measurement To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. Place your elbow on a table or other supporting surface, and hold your arm so that the wrist sleeve is at heart height.
Page 36
You can also hold your left arm at heart height in front of your chest and support it using your right arm. Always measure your blood pressure at the same time each day! It is important to measure your blood pressure at home and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure, which can change over the course of a day, is recorded properly.
