Blood pressure measurement:
In order to obtain reliable measurements, do not do any strenuous physical activities before beginning measurements. Rest
for about 5 to 10 minutes before taking measurements. Just before or during measurements do not eat, drink or smoke.
Certain irregularities, e.g. changes in heartbeat, fibrillations might cause erroneous measurement results.
1. Free your forearm by removing any clothes obstructing your arm’s skin, as the blood
pressure meter cuff needs to touch the skin surface. Do not wear watches, bracelets etc.
during measurement.
2. Rest your elbow on a table.
3. Open the velcro of the blood pressure meter and pass your hand through. Tighten the
device by using velcro at a distance of about 1 cm from your hand as shown in the
figure.
4. Turn your palm upwards, hold fingers and wrist in natural position during
measurement. Do not double your fist or let your wrist hang down. During the
measurement hold your forearm with your other hand as shown in the figure.

Blood pressure measurement process
1. Push down the “Start/Stop” button. All the symbols will appear on the display for a short time. This lets you check the
fail safe operating status of the display. After self-test, the sign “0” flashes a few times then the meter begins pumping
up the cuff.
2. During pumping up, the device measures blood pressure. After your pulse has been detected - the heart icon flashes in
rhythm with your pulse.
3. After completion of measurement, the blood pressure level and pulse rate appear on the display. When an uneven pulse
is detected, the letters “IHB” appears at the bottom of the display. Measurement values will be saved in the memory of
device.
4. After measurements have been taken, the device can be shut down by pressing the “START/STOP” button or will
automatically be switched off after 2 minutes if left unused.
Note: Wait about 5 to 10 minutes before starting a new measurement. This time is necessary for vessels to recover their
original status after measurement. Taking into consideration psychologic factors, for some people a longer delay could be
justified between two measurements.
