3. INTENDED PURPOSE
Intented use
The blood pressure monitor (hereinafter, device) 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 a domestic en
-
vironment.
Intended users
The blood pressure measurement is suitable for adult users
whose upper arm circumference is within the range printed on
the cu.
The device is also ideal for taking blood pressure measurements
on women who are pregnant and people with diabetes.
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 inform the user via a
symbol in the display. The device saves the recorded measure
-
ments and can also output average values of previous measure-
ments. The recorded data can provide healthcare service pro-
viders with support during the diagnosis and treatment of blood
pressure problems, and therefore it plays a part in the long-term
monitoring of the user’s health.
Indications
In the event of hypertension or hypotension, the user can inde-
pendently monitor their blood pressure and pulse values at home.
However, the user does not need to be suering from hyperten
-
sion or arrhythmia in order to use the device.
Contraindications
WARNING
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns, children
or pets.
• Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
should be supervised by a person responsible for their safety
and receive instructions from that person on how to use the
device.
• Do not use the device if you are using electrical implants (e.g.
pacemakers).
• Do not use the device if you have metal implants.
• Do not use the cu on people who have undergone a mastec
-
tomy or who have had their lymph nodes removed.
• Do not place the cu over wounds as this may cause further
injury.

6.2 Before the blood pressure measurement
General rules when measuring your own blood
pressure
• In order to generate an informative profile of changes in your
blood pressure that can be used for comparisons, you should
measure your blood pressure regularly and always at the same
time of day.
10
Measure your blood pressure twice a day: once in the morn-
ing after getting up and once in the evening.
• Always perform the measurement when you are suciently
physically rested. Avoid taking measurements at stressful
times.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drink
-
ing, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure al
-
ways to rest for about 5minutes.
• If you want to take several measurements in succession,
always make sure that you leave 5 minutes between each
measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you have doubts about the meas
-
ured value.
Attaching the cu
You can measure your blood pressure on either arm. Some devi-
ations between the values in the right and left arm are perfectly
normal. Always perform the measurement on the arm with the
higher blood pressure values. Consult your doctor about this be
-
fore starting self-measurement.
• Always measure your blood pressure on the same arm.
• Only use the device with the cu supplied, based on your up
-
per arm circumference.
• Before taking the measurement, check the fit using the index
mark described below.
1. Expose your upper arm. The circulation of the arm must not
be hindered by tight clothing or similar.
2. Place the cu with the bottom edge approx. 2-3 cm above
your elbow. Adjust the device so that the mark
and the cu
line are directly over the artery
B
.
The cu should be fastened so that two fingers fit under the
cu when it is closed
B
.
3. Now insert the cu line into the connection for the cu con
-
nector.
4. The cu is suitable for you if the index mark
is within the
OK range after fitting the cu.
Adopting the correct posture
• Sit in a comfortable upright position when taking the blood
pressure measurement. Lean back so that your back is sup
-
ported.
• Place your arm on a surface
D
.
• Place your feet flat on the ground next to one another.
• The cu must be level with your heart.
• Stay as still as possible during the measurement and do not
talk.
Selecting the user
This device has two users with 100 memory spaces each in order
that you can save measurements from two dierent people sep
-
arately from each other.
If multiple people are using the device, make sure that the correct
user has been selected before each measurement:
• Use the slider

6.4 Evaluating the results
General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream press-
es against the arterial walls. Arterial blood pressure constantly
changes in the course of a cardiac cycle.
• Blood pressure is always stated in the form of two values:
- The highest pressure is the systolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle contracts and blood is
pumped into the blood vessels.
- The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle has completely relaxed again
and the heart is filling with blood.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during re
-
peat measurements, there may be considerable dierences
between the measured values. One-o or irregular measure
-
12
ments therefore do not provide reliable information about the
actual blood pressure. Reliable assessment is only possible
when you perform the measurement regularly under compa
-
rable conditions.
Cardiac arrhythmia
The device can identify heart rhythm abnormalities during the
blood pressure measurement. If
is displayed after the meas-
urement, this indicates that an irregularity has been detected in
your pulse.
Repeat the measurement if
is displayed.
When assessing your blood pressure, only use the results that
have been recorded without any irregularities in your pulse.
Consult your doctor if
is displayed frequently. Only they can
determine, through an examination, whether there is an abnor
-
mality.

indicates which category the recorded
blood pressure values fall into. If the measured values are in two
dierent categories (e.g. systolic pressure in the “high normal”
range and diastolic pressure in the “normal” range), the risk in
-
dicator always indicates the higher range – “high normal” in the
example described.
Note that these default values are for general guidance only,
as individual blood pressures may vary.
Please note that self-measurement at home usually results in val
-
ues lower than those recorded at a doctor’s surgery. Consult your
doctor at regular intervals. Only they are able to give you personal
target values for controlled blood pressure, particularly if you are
receiving medical therapy.
Low blood pressure
WARNING
Low blood pressure (hypotension) can be a health hazard and
cause dizziness or fainting. Blood pressure is considered low if
systolic and diastolic pressure are below 90/60 mmHg (source:
National Health Service, 2023).
Seek medical attention if you suddenly suer from low blood
pressure.
13
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common forms of cardiac ar-
rhythmia and is characterised by an irregular heartbeat associat-
ed with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart
complications.
While the final diagnosis of atrial fibrillation can only be made by
a medical examination, the Beurer AFIB technology of this device
enables it to be detected with a high level of accuracy. During the
blood pressure measurement, possible atrial fibrillation is detect
-
ed and displayed after the measurement with the
symbol in
combination with the
symbol. If arrhythmias, such as atrial
fibrillation, are present, the displayed blood pressure value may
be incorrect. If the
symbol is displayed after a blood pres-
sure measurement, repeat the measurement. Rest for 5 minutes
beforehand. Do not move or speak during the measurement. If
the
symbol appears for the first time and more frequently,
please promptly consult your doctor. If you have previously been
diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, follow your doctor’s instructions
regarding what to do in the event that AFIB is detected by the
device.
Do not perform self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on the
measurements, but rather always follow the doctor’s instructions.
Resting indicator (using HSD diagnostics)
One of the most common errors made when taking a blood pres-
sure measurement is not ensuring that the user’s circulatory sys-
tem is suciently at rest when taking the measurement. In this
case, the measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure values
do not represent the blood pressure at rest. However, it is this
blood pressure at rest that should be used to assess the meas
-
ured values.
This blood pressure monitor uses integrated haemodynamic sta
-
bility diagnostics (HSD) to measure the user’s haemodynamic
stability when taking the blood pressure measurement. This ena
-
bles it to indicate whether the blood pressure was taken when the
user’s circulatory system was suciently at rest.
The measured blood pressure value was obtained
when the user’s circulatory system was suciently
at rest and reliably represents the blood pressure
at rest.
Indicates that the value was obtained when the
user’s circulatory system was not suciently at
rest. The blood pressure values measured in this
case generally do not represent the blood pressure
at rest. The measurement should therefore be
repeated after a period of physical and mental rest
lasting at least 5minutes.
No resting
indicator
symbol is
displayed
During the measurement it was not possible to
determine whether the user’s circulatory system
was suciently at rest. In this case too, the meas
-
urement should be repeated after a period of rest
lasting at least 5 minutes.
The user’s circulatory system not being suciently at rest can
be the result of various factors, such as physical stress, mental
strain/distraction, speaking or experiencing cardiac arrhythmia
during the measurement.
In an overwhelming number of cases, HSD will give a very good
guide as to whether the user’s circulatory system is rested when a
blood pressure measurement is taken.
However, certain patients suering from cardiac arrhythmia or
chronic mental conditions may remain haemodynamically unsta
-
ble even in the long-term, something which persists even after
repeated periods of rest. The accuracy of the results for the blood
pressure at rest is reduced in these users.
14
Like any medical measurement method, the precision of HSD is
limited and it can lead to incorrect results in some cases. Never
-
theless, the blood pressure measurements taken when the user’s
circulatory system is suciently at rest represent particularly re
-
liable results.
