1. Introduction 1.1. Features of your Professional Blood Pressure Monitor Your blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use by adults on the upper arm at home or in your doctor’s/nurse’s office. It enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as the pulse by way of the oscillometric method. This device offers clinically proven accuracy and has been designed to be user friendly.
dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor. • The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers. • In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor. Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g., mobile telephones, microwave ovens).
physician. Regular self-checks are necessary. If you have blood pressure values that are too low (i.e., systolic values under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician. Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.
a) Consult your doctor. b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result from arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood pressure values.
• Choose sports which require stamina and avoid those which require strength. • Avoid reaching the limit of your performance. • With previous illnesses and/or an age of over 40 years, please consult your doctor before beginning your exercise routine. You must receive advice regarding the type and extent of exercise that is appropriate for you. 3.
Please Note: Arm circumference should be measured with a measuring tape in the middle of the relaxed upper arm. Do not force cuff connection into the opening. Make sure the cuff connection is not pushed into the AC adapter port. If the cuff is too small, call 1-866-464-6184 for further information. 4. Using your blood pressure monitor for the first time 4.1. Inserting the batteries After you have unpacked your device, insert the batteries. The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the device.

click M button to switch between Standard mode and Average mode. To select Standard mode, please choose OFF To select Average mode, please choose On If you select OFF, then only one measurement will be taken. If you select ON, the unit will inflate and deflate three times resulting in one final average. 4.8. Measurement averaging mode technology (MAM) • In Measurement Averaging Mode (MAM), three measurements are automatically taken in succession and the result is then automatically analyzed and displayed.
Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions. Conditions should always be quiet. • All efforts by the user to support the arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not flex any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the measurement. Use a cushion for support if necessary. • If the arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneously high or low blood pressure will be measured.
hook and loop material together. d) There should be little free space between the arm and the cuff. You should be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm and the cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does must be removed. Cuffs that don’t fit properly result in false measurement values. Measure your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit. e) Lay your arm on a table so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.
c) When the device has detected your pulse, the heart symbol in the display begins to blink. d) When the measurement has been concluded, the air will automatically release from the cuff. The measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, as well as the pulse, are now displayed. Measuring e) The measurement results are displayed until you switch the device off. If no button is pressed for 1 minute, the device switches off automatically.
5.5. Memory – displaying the last 120 measurements At the end of a measurement, this monitor automatically stores each result with date and time. This unit stores 120 memories for each of 2 users. Viewing the stored values With the unit off, press the "M" button. The display first shows "A," then shows an average of all measurements stored in the unit. Please note: Measurements for each user are averaged and stored separately. Be certain that you are viewing the measurements for the correct user.
