rately or to save morning and evening measurement values

Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the posi­
tion in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Start the measurement process by pressing ON/OFF button
. After checking the display with all digits lighting up, the
monitor will automatically inflate. Following the self­test, dur­
ing which all display elements briefly appear, the measure­
ment begins. During inflation the device already determines
measured values used to estimate the required inflation pres­
sure. If this pressure is insufficient, the device automatically
inflates by another 40 mmHg (Real Fuzzy Logic).
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured.
• When the measurement has been completed, the remain ing
air pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the systolic
and the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
• You can adjust the volume during the announcement by
pressing + and -.
• You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button .
• The icon appears if it has not been possible to per­
form the measurement properly. Observe the section in these
instructions on error messages/troubleshooting and repeat
the measurement.
• The device switches off automatically after 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disor­
ders during measurement and if necessary indicates the meas­
urement with the flashing icon .
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi­
tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects
in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The
symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or exces­
sively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things,
by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use
of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be
ascertained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for 5
minutes between measurements and not talk or move during
the measurement. If the icon appears often, please con­
tact your doctor. Any self­diagnosis and treatment based on
the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doc­
tor‘s instructions.
WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World
Heath Organization and the latest findings, the measurements
can be classified and assessed according to the following
table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide­
line, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people
and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your
doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pres­
