the atrial fibrillation symbol.
Manual inflation
In case of very high systolic blood pressure (e. g.
exceeding 135 mmHg), it can be of use that you
determine the cuff pressure yourself. Press the
On/off button after the monitor started inflating
and a pressure of approx. 30 mmHg appears in the
display. Keep the button pressed until the pressure
is about 40 mmHg above your average systolic
value – then release the button.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the result appears in the display, press
the On/off button
1
and keep it pressed until «M»
15
flashes. Confirm the deletion by pressing the
MAM & time button
4
.
«CL» is shown after the reading was success-
fully deleted from the memory.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The triangle at the left edge of the display
20
points at the range your blood pressure reading is
in. The reading is either in the optimum (green),
increased (yellow) or high (red) blood pressure
range. The classification corresponds to the fol-
lowing ranges defined by international guidelines
(ESH, ESC, JSH) (values in mmHg).

The higher value is the one that determines the
evaluation. Example: a blood pressure value of
140/80 mmHg or a value of 130/90 mmHg means
«blood pressure too high».
Indication of general pulse arrhythmias (PAD)
During the measurement, the monitor on principle
checks for pulse rate irregularities (e.g. bradycar-
dia, premature heart beats, etc.), in the multiple-
measurement mode also specifically for atrial
fibrillation.
If the symbol
18
appears after the measurement,
this means that certain heart arrhythmias were
detected during the measurement. If this symbol
appears after a measurement in the single mode,
select the multiple-measurement mode to be on the
safe side and after a short rest period of about one
minute perform a multiple measurement in addition
