➡ Insert batteries, ensure correct posi-

tioning. (P. 48)

➡ Press button. (P. 52)

➡ Attach cuff. (P. 53)

➡ Close the air valve next to the

pumping ball by turning it clockwi-

se. (P. 57)

➡ Inflate the cuff to above the systo-

lic pressure. The air release speed

can be adjusted by rotating the

valve screw. (P. 57)

➡ Determine by auscultation the

systolic and diastolic values. (S. 57)

➡ After the measurement is comple-

ted, fully open the air valve (by tur-

ning the air valve anti-clockwise)

to achieve fast deflation of the

cuff. (P. 58)

Introduction

Dear Customer,

We are delighted that you have deci-

ded to purchase a boso blood pressu-

re monitor. The boso brand is synony-

mous with optimum quality and pre-

cision and is also number 1 among

professionals: 96% of all German

general practitioners, physicians and

internists work in practice with blood

pressure instruments from boso (API

survey conducted by GfK 01/2016).

This instrument has also passed our

strict quality control procedures and is

your reliable partner for monitoring

your blood pressure values.

 Please read these user instructi-

ons before using the instrument for

the first time, as correct blood pressu-

re readings can only be obtained if

the instrument is operated correctly.

In these user instructions, „➡“ means

an action by the user.

To get help concerning usage or main-

tenance please contact your dealer or

the manufacturer (contact details can

be found on the back cover of this

manual).

The use of accessories not referred to

in these instructions for use can

undermine safety.

An unexpected operating condition or

an incidence which has worsened the

health condition or could have worse-

ned the health condition should be

reported to the manufacturer imme-

diately.

Introduction

If the instrument is to be sold, ensure

that these user instructions are enclo-

sed.

If the monitor is used in medical prac-

tice (in accordance with the legislati-

on governing the operation of medi-

cal devices), it should be calibrated at

regular intervals.

The boso mercurius E blood pressure

monitor is suitable for patients of all

ages but not for neonatals.

mercurius_E_1810sd.qxd:Layout 1 19.10.2018 8:10 Uhr Seite 47

Starting up

➡ Use only high quality leak-proof

batteries of the correct specificati-

ons (see “Technical data” P. 65).

 If the batteries are not inserted

correctly, the monitor will not work

and this may cause the batteries to

heat up and leak, damaging the moni-

tor.

 Batteries that are short-circuited

can become hot and cause burning.

➡ Inserting the batteries

The battery compartment is located

on the innerside of the monitor. In-

sert batteries in the battery com-

partment as shown in illustration 1.

➡ Remove the batteries if the moni-

tor is not to be used for any length

of time.

General instructions for measurement

Always measure your blood pressure

from the arm with the higher blood

pressure values (where not required

otherwise (see page 53)).

To do this, measure the blood pressure

first in both arms and thereafter al-

ways from the arm with the higher

blood pressure.

Using the monitor in the vicinity of

strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. ra-

diation devices, mobile telephones)

can cause it to malfunction. Medical

electrical apparatuses are subject to

specific precautions as regards elec-

tromagnetic compatibility (EMC) (see

page 67-69).

Preparing to measure your blood pressure

Note on cuff sizes:

 The monitor may only be used

with original boso cuffs. These should

be chosen according to the upper arm

circumference printed on them.

Observe the following instructions

when measuring your blood pres-

sure:

Before the measurement the pa-

tient should:

➡ avoid smoking or drinking

coffee for one hour

➡ relax for 5 minutes

During the measurement the pa-

tient should:

➡ sit comfortably

➡ not cross the legs

➡ place feet flat on the floor

➡ support back and arms

➡ not move

Measuring your blood pressure

Attaching the cuff

The measurement should be taken

from the bare upper arm.

 In the case of tightly fitting outer

clothing, ensure that the blood supply

to the arm is not cut off when the

sleeve is rolled up (if necessary remove

the article of clothing before taking the

measurement).

➡ Place the cuff so that the bottom

edge is about 2-3 cm above the

elbow. The cuff must be positioned

so that the marking is over the

artery (see illustration 4).

 Do not attach the cuff over

wounds as this can cause further inju-

ries.

 Ensure that the cuff is not atta-

ched to an arm where arteries or veins

are undergoing or have undergone

medical treatment (e.g. shunt).

Measuring your blood pressure

 For women who have had a bre-

ast amputated, do not attach the cuff

to the arm on the amputated side of

the body.

 During the measurement,medical

apparatus that are being used on the

same arm at the same time, may mal-

function.

 The cuff must not be too tight.

There should be enough space to fit

roughly two fingers between arm and

cuff.

➡ The cuff should be placed at heart

level.

Do not talk during the measu-

rement.

 Check that the air tube is not kin-

ked during the measurement. This

could cause congestion of the blood

flow and subsequent injury.

Measuring your blood pressure

 The blood pressure measurement

should not prevent the flow of blood

for an unnecessary length of time (> 2

minutes). If the monitor fails to

function correctly, remove the cuff

from the arm.

 Excessive frequent measure-

ments can cause injury by restricting

blood flow.

 The device may not be used by un-

supervised children.

 There are small parts that may

cause a choking hazard if swallowed

by mistake by infants.

 The device must not be used if the

patient experiences excessive pain du-

ring measurement.

 The device must not be used in an

environment with easily flammable

gases (e.g. gases used in anaesthesia)

This could cause explosions.

 The device must not be used in an

environment with high oxygen levels

(e.g. an oxygen tent).

This could cause a fire or explosion.
