Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Welby® Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. This fully automatic device measures blood pressure and pulse rate and checks detects irregular heart beat fast and easily and then displays the results on the LCD screen. It works using the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.

Frequently Asked Questions What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the aterties as blood is pumped through the circulatory system and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The higher the pressure, the harder the heart has to work to supply blood to the vital organs in the body.
What is High Blood Pressure and how is it controlled? High Blood Pressure, also called by its medical term Hypertension, is an abnormally high arterial blood pressure. If left unattended, it can cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack.
How does the blood pressure monitor work? Your blood pressure monitor contains high quality components for measuring and to display the results on the display using the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. It also measures and displays your pulse. The device measures blood pressure indirectly using a cuff around the wrist. Inflating the cuff presses the arteries together so that no more blood can flow through them.
Measuring range The blood pressure monitor shows your blood pressure (SYS. = systolic and DIA. = diastolic value), pulse and the time and date on the display. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury). This devices classifies blood pressure measurements based on the definition and standards set by the World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO defines high blood pressure as any measurements above 140 mmHg (systolic) and 90 mmHg (diastolic).
Blood pressure classification according to WHO in mmHg 1 Normal range 2 Borderline high 3 High blood pressure range 14 13400 EN Aldi US RC6 Content.indd 12 20.04.

About your measurement results If the measurements obtained give you cause to be concerned about your health, consult with your physician or licensed health care professional. Do not change your current treatments and/or dosages of medication(s) as a result of your measurements unless you have discussed this first with your doctor! By using your device regularly and recording your results, you can get a clear overview of your blood pressure. Everybody’s blood pressure changes constantly.
Before taking your blood pressure measurement Note the following points so that the measurement results give a realistic representation of your blood pressure: • Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of the day. • Measure your blood pressure when you are relaxed. Try to rest for fifteen minutes before measuring your blood pressure. • You should not eat, drink, smoke or exercise for at least 60 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Please ensure that you always measure your blood pressure under the same conditions! Also note the information about maintaining the correct posture during measurement on page 25. Different measurement conditions can lead to markedly different results. If you have a result that differs greatly from your normal blood pressure measurement, you should take measurement again after a short period of time in order to exclude the factors listed above that can lead to an incorrect measurement.

Do not put over clothing. Wrap the cuff according to the shape of your wrist. If the cuff is not firmly attached, the pressure will increase and the wrist will become numb.
Correct position for measurement To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. Place your left elbow on a table or other supporting surface so that the the wrist cuff is at heart height. You can also hold your left arm at heart height in front of your chest and support it using your right arm. 25 13400 EN Aldi US RC6 Content.indd 23 20.04.
It is important to measure your blood pressure at home and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure, which can change over the course of a day, is recorded properly. Record your measurements in the chart at the end of this instruction manual and discuss with your physician so that you can receive medical advice based on an evaluation of these measurements. Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that measured at the upper arm.
The battery symbol, the blinking cuff inflation symbol and the selected user are shown on the display. Do not move the cuff, your arm or hand muscles during measurement. After a few seconds, the cuff will inflate. When the cuff pressure is stable, the device will start measuring automatically. If you want to stop the measurement, press the ON/OFF button and the cuff will deflates. If you want to repeat a measurement, you should wait at least five minutes. The cuff must be fully deflated.
Automatic measurement If the cuff pressure is too low, the device stops measuring and inflates the cuff again. Measurement starts when the correct cuff pressure has been reached. The device also measures your pulse. The value displayed will fall during measurement. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate by itself and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as the pulse and the pulse symbol will appear on the display.
User settings The blood pressure monitor has two memory banks, which allow two different users to save up to 60 measurements each.
