What you should know about this blood
pressure monitor
For accurate measurements, all wrist blood pressure
monitors must be positioned at heart level.
Example: If the monitor is positioned 20 cm below heart level
as shown on the left (e.g. by putting the arm on a table), the
reading you will obtain is approximately 15 mmHg too high.
Therefore, the Braun SensorControl has a unique active
positioning system: The position sensor arrows on the
display guide you to hold your measuring arm in the right
position at heart level.
Additionally, your blood pressure monitor offers the following
benefits:
• Easy handling due to large buttons and the large display.
• Automatic storage of the last 30 readings consisting of
blood pressure values, pulse, date and time of measure-
ment.
• Comfort cuff.
• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read these
instructions.
• This product is intended for household use only. Keep
product and batteries away from children.
• People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular
constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes or
users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor
before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since
deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such
cases.
• Please consult your doctor in case of any doubt, especially
if you are under medical treatment or receiving medication.
• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as
a substitute for consultation with your doctor.
