Preliminary remarks:
This blood pressure instrument complies with the interna-
tional standard ISO 81060-1.
All Calibration testing at least every two years, has to
be carried out either by the manufacturers or the local
authorised dealer in accordance with the relevant distribu-
tor directives.
A modification of the device and/or the accessories is not
permitted. This can lead to measurement errors.
The device can be used by any user skilled in auscultatory
blood pressure measurement.
Purpose:
Non-invasive recording of systolic and diastolic blood
pressure in humans. The instrument can be used with
any arm circumference as shown on the corresponding
cuff.
Important:
Keep this unit from being knocked or dropped, and pro-
tect it from dirt and moisture. Care has to be taken not to
puncture the cuff with any sharp instruments (Scissors,
needles).
Do not inflate to above 300 mmHg !
Measurement time should not exceed 2 minutes.
Between 2 measurements allow an interval of at least 2
minutes.

The patient must follow these basic rules when having
his/her blood pressure measured:
sit comfortably
not cross his/her legs
rest his/her back and arms on the chair or another sur-
face
have the centre of the cuff placed on the upper arm at
the level of the heart
relax as much as possible and keep silent while his/her
blood pressure is being measured
be calm for 5 minutes before the first reading
The following phases are recommended in the case of
auscultatory measurement
adults: phase V (K5)
children aged 3 to 12: phase IV (K4)
pregnant women: phase V (K5), except when sounds
are audible when the cuff is deflated: in this case
phase IV (K4) Korotkoff sounds should be used.
K5 is the point at which tones heard through the stethos-
cope are no longer audible
K4 is the point at which tones heard through the stethos-
cope change from a clear sound to a muffled sound.
Inscriptions:
“mmHg” is the unit in which blood pressure is measured
“shock protected” = the instrument has been tested and
found to work correctly after being dropped from a height
of up to one metre.
Fitting the Cuff:
The cuff must not be fitted over wounds as this could
lead to further injury. Blood pressure must always be
measured on the arm with the higher pressure values.
To do this, first measure blood pressure on both arms
and subsequently always on the arm which produced
the higher reading. Place cuff in such a manner that the
lower cuff edge finishes ca. 2 3 cm above the elbow
and the centre of the rubber bag rests on top of the ar-
tery.

Note on Cuff Sizes:
The German League for the Fight against Blood
Pressure recommends the following cuff sizes:
The cuff must be selected such that it fits the arm circum-
ference.
Taking the Blood Pressure:
Inflate the cuff to above the systolic pressure. The air re-
lease speed can be adjusted by rotating the valve screw.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a
deflation speed of 2 3 mmHg per second.
To avoid a rea-
ding error, read the pressure values perpendicular to the
scale.
After the measurement is completed, fully open the ai re-
lease valve to allow for the fast deflation of
the cuff.
Technical Data:
Measurement range: 0 300 mmHg
Accuracy of Pressure indication: ± 3 mmHg or 2% of the
reading (whichever is greater)
Storing conditions:
–30°C 70°C, 15 85% rel. humidity
Operating conditions:
10°C 40°C, 15 85% rel. humidity

To clean the unit only use a dry, soft cloth.
To clean the cuff remove the rubber bag. The exte-
rior of the cuff can then be washed by hand at a maxi-
mum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.

For disinfectant wipes (at least 5 minutes exposure time)
of the device and the cuff, we recommend the disinfectant
liquid microzid liquid sensitiv (Schülke & Mayr).
To disinfect the the cuff, we recommend spray disinfection.
