1. Introduction
1.1. Features
The blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device for use on the
upper arm with integrated MAM technology. This monitor enables very fast and reliable measurement of
the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well your pulse by use of the oscillometric method.
This device is easy to use and is proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. The large display
makes it easy to visualize operational status and cuff pressure during a measurement.
Before using, please read through this instruction manual carefully and then keep it in a safe place. For
further questions on the subject of blood pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.
Attention!
1.2. Important information about self-measurement
•
Self-measurement means
Control
, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed
with your doctor.
Never alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your doctor.
•
The pulse reading is
not
suitable for checking heart pacemakers!
•
In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this instrument should only be
evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
Electromagnetic interference
The device contains sensitive electronic components. Therefore, avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic
fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These can lead to
temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy.
2. Important Information on the Subject of Blood Pressure and its Measurement
2.1. How does high/low blood pressure arise?
Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory center of your brain. Your nervous system allows
your body to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations. Your body alters your pulse
and the width of blood vessels through changes in muscles in the walls of blood vessels.
Your blood pressure reading is highest when the heart pumps or ejects blood – this is called your Systolic
Blood Pressure. Your blood pressure reading is lowest when the heart rests (in-between beats) – this is
called your Diastolic Blood Pressure.
Note:
Maintain blood pressure values within a «normal» range(s) in order to prevent particular diseases.
2.2. Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or the systolic blood
pressure is over 140 mmHg. If you obtain readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. High
blood pressure values over time damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the kidney and even your heart.
When blood pressure values are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100 mmHg and/or diastolic values under
60 mmHg, consult your doctor.
Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is
recommended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.
