PHYSIO-PORT UP 

A9951 Revision C

 

 

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) 

 

 

 

 

Patient Instructions 

Keep the following points in mind to secure a safe and smooth operation of the device: 

During  each  measurement  stay  relaxed  and  minimize  your  motion  to  keep  the  cuff  inflation  time  as  short  as 

possible. If you are relaxed the pressure load to your arm will be minimized. 

The trial measurement shows you the expected pressure load to your arm  during the long term measurement. The 

pressure load to your arm will vary over the whole day. If the pressure rises far above the expected pressure, you are 

allowed to deflate the cuff by pressing the           button or just remove the cuff from your arm. 

Please note down all important events in a diary to secure a correct interpretation of your blood pressure values by 

the doctor. Please report all unexpected events or faults to your doctor. 

Do  not  open  the  battery  compartment.  Protect  the  device  against  water,  excessive  humidity,  and  extreme 

temperatures and do not remove the device from the wearable pouch. Please wear the pouch over your clothes. You 

do  not  have  to  clean  the device  after the  long  term  measurement.  Sometimes  the  device internally  stops  the long 

term measurement. In this case deliver the device to the agreed date to your doctor. 

The audio signals of the device are disabled by default. If the doctor enables the audio signals, the device will beep 

after power up procedure and in front of every measurement during day phase. 

Place PHYSIO-PORT UP with the wearable pouch on your nightstand while you are sleeping. You are allowed to 

change  the  day  phase  and  the  night  phase  manually,  if  you  go  to  bed  before  10 pm  or  get  up  before  7 am.  To 

change the phases press the            button once. The results from the last blood pressure measurement are shown. 

Press the          button once again, while the results are shown. The phase symbol switches from sun to moon or the 

other way around. 

For your interest

The device measures your systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure and your heartrate. The blood pressure 

is measured with an accuracy of ± 3 mmHg. The device can record up to 400 blood pressure measurements. 

 

Note down here the additional instructions of your doctor:
