INTRODUCTION
1.1. Features
Your blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device with integrated
MAM technology and automatic risk factor classification for use on the upper arm. This monitor enables
very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well your pulse by use of
the oscillometric method.
This device is easy to use and is proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. The large display
makes it easy to understand what the monitor is doing and the cuff pressure during a measurement.
Please read through this instruction manual carefully before use and then keep it in a safe place. For further
questions on the subject of blood pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.
Attention!
1.2. Important information about self-measurement
•
Self-measurement means Control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed
with your doctor. You should never alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your
doctor.
•
The pulse reading is not suitable for checking heart pacemakers!
•
If you have been diagnosed with a severe Arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, measurements made with
this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
Electromagnetic interference:
This device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in
the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens. Electrical interference can lead
to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT
2.1. How does high/low blood pressure arise?
Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory center of your brain. Your nervous system allows
your body to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations. Your body alters your pulse
and the width of blood vessels through changes in muscles in the walls of blood vessels.
Your blood pressure reading is highest when your heart pumps or ejects blood. This stage is called your
Systolic Blood Pressure. Your blood pressure is lowest when the heart rests. (in-between beats). This is
called your diastolic blood pressure.
It is critical to maintain blood pressure values within a «normal» range(s) in order to prevent particular
diseases.
2.2. Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if, when taken at rest, your systolic pressure is over 140mmHg and/or your
diastolic pressure is above 90mmHg. If you obtain readings above these levels you should consult your
doctor immediately. High blood pressure values over time damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the
kidney and even your heart.
