3. Intended use
Intended use
The blood pressure monitor is intended for the fully automatic,
non-invasive measurement of arterial blood pressure and pulse
values on the upper arm.
It is designed for self-measurement by adults in the home
environment.
Target group
The blood pressure measurement is suitable for adult users
whose upper arm circumference is within the range printed on
the cuff.
Clinical benefits
The user can record their blood pressure and pulse values
quickly and easily using the device. The recorded values are
classified according to internationally applicable guidelines and
evaluated graphically. Furthermore, the device can detect any
irregular heart beats that occur during measurement and in-
form the user via a symbol in the display. The device saves the
recorded measurements and can also output average values of
previous measurements.
The recorded data can provide healthcare service providers
with support during the diagnosis and treatment of blood
pressure problems, and therefore plays a part in the long-term
monitoring of the user’s health.
Indication
In the event of hypertension or hypotension, the user can in-
dependently monitor their blood pressure and pulse values as
well as arrhythmia at home. However, the user does not need
to be suffering from hypertension or arrhythmia in order to use
the device.
Contraindications
•
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns, chil-
dren or pets.
•
People with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills
should be supervised by a person responsible for their safety
and receive instructions from this person on how to use the
device.
•
If you have any of the following conditions, it is essential
you consult your doctor before using the device: cardiac
arrhythmia, circulatory problems, diabetes, pregnancy, pre-
eclampsia, hypotension, chills, shaking.
•

bracket together using
your fingers, in such a
way that the area where
the upper arm should be
placed opens.
10
2. The cuff must be placed
on the upper arm so
that the bottom edge is
positioned 2-3cm above
the elbow and over the
artery. The line should
point to the centre of the
palm.
2 – 3 cm
3. Close the hook-and-loop
fastener. In doing so, the
cuff should be fastened so
that two fingers fit under
the cuff.
4. Now fold the protruding
part down. Secure the
protruding part using the
additional hook-and-loop
fastener on the cuff.
5. Now insert the cuff line
into the connection for the
cuff connector.
Ensure that your arm is not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm,
which may mean that the measured blood pressure values are
different. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be
used for the measurement.
Important: The device may only be operated with the original
cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to
42 cm.

12
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm
when measuring and, if necessary, indicates this after the
measurement with the symbol
.
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a
condition in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of
flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat.
The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse
being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart
disease, age, physical make-up, excess stimulants, stress or
lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be determined through an
examination by your doctor.
If the symbol is shown on the display after the measure-
ment has been taken, repeat the measurement. Please ensure
that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or
move during the measurement.
If the symbol appears
frequently, please consult your doctor.
Self-diagnosis and treatment
based on the measurements can
be dangerous. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
Risk indicator:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in
accordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, 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
pressure as well as the value above which your blood pressure
is classified as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display and the scale on the device show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different
categories (e.g. systole in the High normal category and
diastole in the Normal category), the graphical classification on
the device always shows the higher category; for the example
given this would be High normal.
