3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this
Device
Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid
constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not
interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.
5. Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the
cuff).
• Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
• Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.
• The artery mark located on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must
lie over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
• Support your arm so it is relaxed.
• Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
6. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
7. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move
and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,
the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
9. During the measurement, the heart symbol AN flashes in the
display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.
10.The result, comprising the systolic AT and the diastolic AK
blood pressure and the pulse rate AL is displayed and a long
beep is heard. Note also the explanations on further display
symbols in this booklet.
11.When the measurement has finished, remove the cuff and pack
it into the device as shown in Fig. II.
12.Enter the result in the enclosed blood pressure pass and switch
off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically after
approx. 1 min.).

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).

4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:

5. Data Memory

At the end of each measurement, this device automatically stores
the result.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button AR briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows the last stored result.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

Memory full

Clearing all values

6. Replacing the Slot-in Card

You can replace the slot-in card 3 by pulling it out to the side, as
shown in Fig. IV and replacing the paper insert.
early Detection
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse
irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears
more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements
performed daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
When the memory has stored 30 results, the memory is full.
From this point onwards, a new measured value is stored
by overwriting the oldest value.
All memory data are cleared when batteries are taken out
of the device.
