L’appareil de mesure de la tension artérielle au poignet Panasonic de
référence EW‑BW10 est un modèle qui vise à mesurer au poignet la
pression artérielle systolique et diastolique ainsi que la fréquence
cardiaque d’un individu adulte. L’appareil est uniquement conçu pour un
individu adulte qui a l’intention de prendre lui‑même sa tension de manière
ponctuelle. L’appareil ne convient donc pas à une prise de tension
continue (par exemple une prise de mesures pendant 24 heures).
Au cas où l’appareil détecterait un pouls irrégulier, veuillez consulter votre
médecin.
Les personnes dotées d’un stimulateur cardiaque ou souffrant d’arythmie
cardiaque, de constriction vasculaire, de troubles du foie ou de diabète
doivent consulter leur médecin car des valeurs différentes peuvent être
mesurées dans de tels cas. Il en va de même pour les femmes enceintes.
Contactez des spécialistes de la santé si des valeurs préhypertensives ou
hypertensives sont indiquées.

Il misuratore di pressione sanguigna da polso Panasonic modello
EW‑BW10 è un dispositivo studiato per misurare la pressione sanguigna
sistolica e diastolica e la frequenza del polso di un individuo adulto
attraverso un bracciale a pressione sul polso. Il dispositivo è studiato
esclusivamente per l’uso da parte di un adulto per l’automisurazione
periodica della pressione sanguigna e non deve essere utilizzato per la
misurazione continua (ad es. misurazione per 24 ore).
Se si riscontrano delle irregolarità, rivolgersi al proprio medico.
Gli individui portatori di pacemaker cardiaci o che soffrono di aritmia
cardiaca, costrizione vascolare, disturbi al fegato o diabete devono
consultare il proprio medico poiché in tali casi i valori misurati potrebbero
differire. La stessa indicazione vale per le donne in gravidanza.
Se si riscontrano valori che indicano pre
‑ipertensione o ipertensione,
rivolgersi a uno specialista.

Panasonic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Model EW‑BW10 is a device
intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate
of an adult individual by using a pressurized cuff on the wrist. The device
is designed for people who have an intention of measuring blood pressure
value periodically by self measurement and not intended for continuous
BP measurement (e.g. 24h measurement).
In case the device repeatedly detects irregularities, please consult your
doctor.
People with cardiac pacemakers, cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction,
liver disorders or diabetics should consult their doctor as different values
may be measured in such cases. The same also applies during pregnancy.
Contact health professionals if prehypertensive or hypertensive values are
indicated.

Points of interest and information concerning
blood pressure and high blood pressure
The treatment of high blood pressure is one of the most successful forms
of treatment in modern medicine. This applies not only when preventing
complications due to high blood pressure, but also with regard to treating
damage following a stroke or heart attack.
Recent studies have proven beyond all doubt that:
1. high blood pressure can be successfully lowered in patients of
every age and
2. b
lood pressure should be stabilized at a low level.
The findings of major recent studies have made it necessary to adjust
the formerly acceptable limits (the World Health Organization (WHO),
1999). In other words, the traditional limit of 160/95 mmHg as the
borderline between normal and high blood pressure has now been
reduced. Consequently, the normal values have been “lowered” by WHO,
the German Hypertension Society and the American Hypertension
Committee.
Upper value (SYS.) 140 mmHg
Lower value (DIA.) 90 mmHg
A pathologically high blood
pressure is now defined as follows:
Systolic value of 140 mmHg or
more and/or a diastolic value
of 90
mmHg or more–provided
that these values are repeatedly
obtained under standard conditions,
i.e. at rest (measured at three
different times on two different
days).
Blood pressure exceeding both or
either of these limits is considered
hypertension.
The values should be confirmed
by repeated measurements.
This definition applies regardless of age. What formerly constituted a
borderline area with systolic values between 140 and 159 mmHg and
diastolic values between 90 and 94 mmHg is no longer considered to be
a “grey area”, but is quite clearly classed as high blood pressure. This
consequently means that medical treatment is required for blood pressure
values in excess of 140/90 mmHg.
Panasonic improves blood pressure assessment
Dear customer, congratulation on the purchase of this Panasonic
blood pressure monitor.
Since 1992, Panasonic has been providing blood pressure measuring
devices to our customers in Europe. The product you have purchased
has passed our strict quality control, and shall help you manage your
daily blood pressure.
We wish you all the best for your health.
Thanks to modern medical technology measuring blood pressure
has now become uncomplicated. The user-friendliness makes
measuring a lot easier, but very often a mistake can occur when assessing
the measured values. In the majority of cases it is not the whole blood
pressure picture that is taken into account but only a single measurement.
The result of this is that more than 70 % of all hypertension sufferers
are insufficiently treated or not treated at all (Source: World Health
Organization (WHO)).
Now Panasonic revolutionizes the treatment of high blood pressure.

Obtaining accurate measurements
Always take your blood pressure at the same time while
sitting in the same position and using the same wrist.
It is recommended to check your blood pressure at least twice a day. It is
best in the morning before breakfast and in the evening after work.
In the following situations, accurate measurements cannot be taken.
Within 1 hour after eating or drinking alcohol
Immediately after drinking coffee or tea, or smoking
In a moving vehicle
Immediately after exercising or taking a bath
(Wait at least 20 minutes and take a measurement while staying quiet.)
In cold places
(Take measurements at room temperatures around 20 °C.)
When you need to urinate
(Wait several minutes after urinating before taking measurements.)
Always rest for four to five minutes before taking your blood
pressure.
Taking measurements while sitting down
1. Place your elbow on the table.
2. Align the device with the level of
your heart.
3. Open and relax y
our hand with
the palm facing up.
Please place your arm on top of
the storage case once you have
attached the pressure cuff.
Base of the wrist
Wrap the pressure
cuff so that the
positioning mark
will be at the
center of the wrist.
2. Firmly wrap and fasten using
the hoop and loop fastener.
A loosely applied pressure
cuff will result in high blood
readings or incapable
measurement.
Press fastener softly to avoid
the peel off.
Do not remove the hoop and loop
fastener by twisting it off.
Be sure to peel it in an horizontal
direction in alignment with the cuff.
<When wrapping around right wrist>
Fit as shown in the figure.
The cuff can be used on either wrist.
However, the difference in blood
pressure between the left and right
wrists may be around 10 mmHg, so
be sure to always use the same wrist
for measurements.

Obtaining accurate measurements (cont.)
Do not take measurements in the positions shown below as they will be
inaccurate.
Do not bend your wrist inward. Do not clench your fist.
If the device is placed at
a height lower than the
heart then the resulting
readings may be higher
than your actual blood
pressure.
If the device is placed at
a height higher than the
heart then the resulting
readings may be lower
than your actual blood
pressure.
If you lean forward while
taking measurements
then the resulting
readings may not be
accurate.
To obtain accurate readings, the following actions should also be avoided
during measurements.
Do not touch the device.
Do not change position or move your wrist or fingers.

Movement detection function
If movement is detected while measurement is being carried out and more
pressure is applied by the pressure cuff, the mark will be displayed.
Please carry out blood pressure measurement again if the
mark
flashes or is lit.
If the hand or wrist to which the pressure cuff is attached is moved while
measurement is being carried out (e.g. wrist is bent suddenly), in some
cases correct measurements may not be obtained.
When movement has been detected during measurement, the
mark flashes when the blood pressure reading obtained during that
measurement is displayed.
(If this reading is saved, the mark will be lit up whenever it is
recalled.)
Movement Mark Explanation
Flashing
Movement has been detected.
The hand or wrist has been bent suddenly.
The muscles in the hand or wrist have been
tensed.
The hand or wrist has been moved, etc.
With proper posture, please take the measurement
again after measurement has been completed
(Please see pages en8 and en9).

Irregular pulse function
If the pulse rate varies by more than ±25 % from the average while a
measurement is being taken, when measurement is completed the
mark will be displayed.
The mark will lit after approximately 6 seconds of blinking when
the measurement is completed.
If the mark is lit, please take the measurement again.
In some cases, if the pulse rate fluctuates greatly while a measurement
is being taken, it may be impossible to obtain an accurate reading.
If you save a reading where an irregular pulse was recorded, the
mark will be displayed when you recall that reading.
Even if the mark is displayed, this doesn’t mean whether or not the
pulse is, in fact, irregular.
* This function is designed to act as a guide to help you to obtain
accurate readings (Please see pages en8 and en9).
Even if the mark is not displayed, we recommend that you take
measurements 2–3 times at rest.
* If the mark is frequently displayed, please consult a health

For your safety
This blood pressure monitor shall be used for the self measurement of
your blood pressure.
Always follow your physician’s instruction when taking medication.
Please consult your doctor as to the most appropriate time to measure
your blood pressure if you are receiving medication.
People with cardiac pacemakers, cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction
or liver disorders as well as diabetics should consult their doctor before
measuring their blood pressure themselves, since different values may be
measured in such cases. The same also applies during pregnancy.
The Diagnostec is no toy for children!
In case you measure your child’s blood pressure, always consult your
doctor since the data cannot be compared with the standard adult’s data.
Always remove your watch or jewellery from your wrist before using your
new Diagnostec. This will prevent damage to the inside of the cuff and
reduce the risk of inaccurate measurement.
Do not switch on the Diagnostec until the cuff has been secured around
your wrist. The cuff might get damaged by excess pressure built up, if the
device is not secured to the wrist.

Caring for the device
Please do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the device.
This may cause fire or cause the device to malfunction. It may also lead to
injury.
Please do not fold the pressure cuff back against itself.
Always use the pressure cuff on your wrist and nowhere else.
Either of these actions may cause the device to malfunction.
Do not use excessive force on the device.
Do not drop the device.
Measurements may be impaired if the device is used close to televisions,
microwave ovens, X-ray equipment or other devices with strong electrical
fields.
Please measure your blood pressure at a sufficient distance from such
devices or switch them off.
The cuff may lose some of its elasticity at temperatures below 0 °C. If the device is
exposed to such extreme temperatures, it is a good idea to leave it until it warms
up to room temperature before taking the next measurement.
As a basic principle, the device should not be exposed to extreme conditions (cold,
heat, humidity, dust).
Do not allow dust or other foreign objects to enter the device as this may
cause it to malfunction.
Cleaning the device
Do not use anything other than a cloth with warm water and a little soapy
to wipe the device.
Do not use thinner, benzine, or alcohol on the device as this may cause
discoloration and cracks.
Cuff can not be washed.
Storage
Avoid exposing the device to high temperatures, high humidity and direct
sunlight as this can cause the device to malfunction.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/
cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio
broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength
in the location in which the model EW-
BW10 is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the model EW-BW10 should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessar
y, such as reorienting or relocating the model EW-BW10.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than
3 V/m.
