1. Introduction 1.1.Features The blood-pressure monitor is a semi-automatic, digital blood-pressure measuring device for use on the up- per arm, which enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood-pressure as well as the pulse frequency by way of the oscillometric method of measuring. The device offers a very high and clinical tested measurement accuracy and has been designed to provide a maximum of user-friendliness.

Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is recom- mended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately. If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of the level of your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-measurements at specific times of the day.

the centre). The permissible range is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your use, please con- tact your dealer. Note: Only use clinically approved Original-Cuffs! • A loose cuff or a sideways protruding air-pocket causes false measurement values. 5.3.Fitting the cuff a) Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube points in the direction of the lower arm.
b) Grasp the handle and bulb with your free hand and Inflate the cuff to a pressure at least 40 mmHg higher than the expected systolic pressure. If you do not know the value of this pressure, inflate to a value of approximately 160 - 180 mmHg. The cuff pressure is shown continuously on the LCD.
6. Error messages/malfunctions If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement is discontinued and a corresponding error code is displayed. (Example Error no. 1) Error No. Possible cause(s) ERR 1 The systolic pressure was determined but afterwards the cuff pressure fell below 20 mmHg. This situation can occur, for example, if the tube becomes unplugged after the systolic blood pressure has been measured.
☞ Further information The level of blood-pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people. Important thereby is, that comparable measurements always require the same conditions (rest conditions)! You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist if there are technical problems with the blood-pressure instrument.
