Worth knowing about blood pressure measurement
• Blood pressure measurements should be performed in quiet and comfortable surroundings
as measurements can be affected by high or low temperatures. The blood pressure should
be measured at normal body temperatures.
• Do not move or speak during measurement. Keep your feet flat on the floor.
• Do not touch the cuff or the blood pressure device during measurement.
• To obtain the best possible measurement, the blood pressure should be measured at
approximately the same time every day, and on the same arm.
• If you are to perform several successive measurements, please wait 5 minutes between each
measurement.
• The measurements are for guidance only. If you have doubts about your blood pressure,
consult your doctor.
• The blood pressure device automatically deflates when the pressure exceeds 300 mmHg.
• The product is not suited for persons suffering from arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturbances).
• Measurement errors may occur if the user suffers from diabetes, poor blood circulation,
kidney problems, or has suffered a stroke.
Risk category indicator
The device complies with the blood pressure standard which classifies blood pressures into 6
grades. This innovative blood pressure classification shows with a symbol on the display the
presumed risk category for each measurement. The symbols and the classifications follow the
numbers in the table on page 3.
3. When “0” flashes on the display, the device is ready for
measurement and will automatically inflate the cuff to start
the measurement.
4. As soon as the systolic pressure has been established,
deflation will commence automatically and the diastolic
pressure is measured.
NOTE that the cuff is automatically re-inflated if the
device determines that the body requires higher pressure
to complete the measurement.
5. When the measurement is completed, the cuff automatically deflates and the display will show
the systolic pressure, the diastolic pressure, and the pulse. The measurement is
simultaneously stored in the monitor’s memory.
6. The device automatically switches off approximately 1 minute after use but can also be
switched off manually by pressing START/STOP.
7. If necessary, a measurement can be interrupted by pressing START/STOP (recommended) or
any other button on the device. The cuff will subsequently deflate immediately.

Memory - average measurements. Shows the aerage of the 3 most recent measurements.
Risk category indicator: Compares measurements with the different blood pressure categories.
Read more about this in the section “Risk category indicator”.
Measurement error: Repeat measurement. Make sure that the cuff is properly fitted and keep
arm steady while measurement is taken.
Airflow error during inflation. Make sure that the cuff is properly fitted and perform
new measurement.
Pressure exceeds 30 mmHg. Switch off the device and switch on again.
Perform new measurement.
Data error. Remove the batteries and re-insert them.
Recalibration warning. It is recommended to have the device recalibrated. Read more about
this in the section “Calibration”.
