About this device 4

Purpose of use

The device is used to measure blood pressure at the wrist. It

is suitable for healthy people above 14 years of age and can

be used to make comparative measurements – especially

during sporting activities.

The memories are stored in two units, and each unit can

store 60 memories at most.

This device is only suitable for using in dry, internal rooms.

This device is intended for personal use only. It is not

intended to commercial use in a heavy industry

environment. Use under extreme environmental conditions

can result in damage to your device.

If the values obtained give you cause to be concerned

about your health, take medical advice. Do not

change your treatment/dosage of medication as a

result of the values unless you have discussed this

with your doctor!

Blood pressure values

When interpreting the values measured, please note that

there can be differences in the values measured at the wrist

and arm. However, because the values measured at the

upper arm and wrist undergoes the same changes the

values measured at the wrist can be used for comparative

measurements.

The blood pressure measurement device displays blood

pressure (systolic and diastolic values), pulse, date and time.

The following summary can help you to assess the values

you measure.

The classification of blood pressure values is based on a

definition and classification by the WORLD HEALTH

ORGANISATION from 1999. The WHO defines high blood

pressure as values above 140 mmHg (systolic value) and

90 mmHg (diastolic value).

The new blood pressure classification indicator visually

indicates user’s blood pressure category,

Getting started 6

Inserting the batteries

1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment in the

direction of the arrow.

2. Insert two 1.5V batteries size AAA/LR03 (alkaline). Pay

attention to the polarity (the negative terminal faces

the spring).

3. Close the battery compartment.

Replace the batteries

• if the battery icon appears on the display,

• if the display remains blank after pressing the ON/OFF

button.

Replace all batteries with new batteries of the same

type at the same time. Do not mix used and new or

different types of batteries together.

Rechargeable batteries are not suitable for the

operation of this device.

The current month flashes.

2. Press the M button repeatedly to set the current month.

3. Press the

button. The day flashes.

4. Press the

M button repeatedly to set the current day.

5. Press the button. The hour flashes.

Usage 7

1. Attach the wrist sleeve in such a

way that it is approx. 5 – 10 mm

away from the palm of your left

hand (see fig. B). Ensure that no

articles of clothing are trapped

in the sleeve.

2. Hold the lower part of the sleeve

as shown in fig. C. Pull down and

wrap it around and upwards, so

that there is no gap between the

sleeve and your wrist.

3. Use your thumb to hold the

sleeve cover while you wrap it

upwards.

4. Wrap the sleeve according to

the shape of your wrist. If the

sleeve is not firmly attached the

pressure will increase and the

wrist will become numb. Correct

measurement is then no longer

possible.

If the sleeve cannot be attached to your left arm and if it is

not possible to measure your left arm, use your right one.

Attach the sleeve as shown in fig. D.

Correct measurement 8

Place your elbow on the table or other supporting surface,

and hold your arm so that the wrist sleeve is at heart height.

In doing so, support your lower arm on the storage box or

on a folded towel or similar.

To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair,

take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax.

Always measure your blood pressure at the same time each

day! It is important to measure your blood pressure at home

and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure,

which can change over the course of a day, is recorded

properly.

Inform your doctor of the values measured so that he can

give you medical advice.

Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that

measured at the upper arm. The values may be slightly

different because of the different measurement positions

and the strength of the blood vessels in the wrist and upper

arm. In many cases, the difference for healthy people can be

±10 mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Attention is advised for the following types of person:

People with high blood pressure, diabetes, liver

disease, hardened arteries, poor circulation.

Carrying out measurements

1. Attach the wrist sleeve to your wrist as described above.

2. Press the button.

All indicators are displayed for a few seconds on the

screen; then the screen shows the time and the most

recently selected memory unit (

U1/U2).

3. You can modify the current memory unit by pressing the

button

If you have already stored measurements in this unit the

display shows the latest values.

During measurement do not move the sleeve or your

arm or hand muscles.

A few seconds later the monitor starts searching the zero

point. When the air pressure is stable the monitor begins to

measure automatically.

4. If you want to stop the measurement, press the

button. The air is released from the sleeve.

If you want to repeat a measurement you should wait

at least five minutes. The air must be completely

removed from the sleeve.

Automatic Measurement

Measurement starts automatically; the device pumps up the

sleeve. If the sleeve pressure is too low the device pauses

and pumps up the sleeve again until it reaches a sleeve

pressure that is appropriate for the measurement.

The device also measures your pulse. The value displayed

will fall during measurement.

The sleeve deflates when the measurement is complete. The

systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse with the

pulse icon appear in the display.

Indication of an irregular heartbeat

(arrhythmia)

The pulse normally beats evenly (rhythmically). The symbol

will appear in the display if the device perceives

irregularities in the rhythm of the pulse.

Repeat the measurement in this case.

There can be different causes of irregularities in the rhythm

of the pulse. Please consult your doctor if your pulse is

arrhythmic in the long term.

If you want to repeat a measurement you should wait

at least five minutes. The air must be completely

removed from the sleeve.

Memory unit 9

Reading the stored values

The device has two memory units U1 and U2. Up to 60

measurements can be saved in each unit. You can also

display the average values of the saved measurements.

1. The device should not be in measure mode. Switch it off

if necessary.

2. Press the button M to enter the memory mode.

On the display appear the memory sign, the memory unit

and the number of measurements, which have been

stored in this unit.

3. You can modify the current memory unit by pressing the

button.

Press the button M to display the stored values.

The measured values are displayed in reverse order. With

each press of the button

M the previous results appear.

6. Press the button to exit the memory.

The saved values remain saved when the device is

switched of with the

button.

Deleting memory

1. Press the button M to enter the memory mode.

On the display appear the memory sign, the memory unit

and the number of measurements, which have been

stored in this unit.

2. Select the memory unit you want to delete by pressing
