What you should know about this blood
pressure monitor
For accurate measurements, all wrist blood pressure
monitors must be positioned at heart level.
Example: If the monitor is positioned 20 cm below heart
level as shown on the left (e.g. by putting the arm on a
table), the reading you will obtain is approximately
15 mmHg too high.
Therefore, the Braun SensorControl has a unique
positioning system: The position sensor icon (A) on the
display guides you to hold your measuring arm in the
right position at heart level.
Additionally, your blood pressure monitor offers the
following benefits:
• Easy handling due to large buttons and the large
display.
• Automatic storage of the last 60 readings consisting
of blood pressure values, pulse, date and time of
measurement.
• Comfort cuff.
• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read
these instructions.
• This product is intended for household use only. Keep
product and batteries away from children.
• People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular
constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes
or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their
doctor before measuring their blood pressure them-
selves, since deviations in blood pressure values may
occur in such cases.
• Please consult your doctor in case of any doubt,
especially if you are under medical treatment or
receiving medication.
• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended
as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.
