4-2. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
- Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnoses. Blood pressure measurements should
only be interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with your medical history.
- If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate
time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed medication without first
consulting with your physician.
- This device is designed for adults to use if this device is used on a child patient, old people or
toddlers, consult with your physician.
- This product should not encourage self-medication or adaptation of your treatment.
- If there is overmuch pressure or you feel uncomfortable, please press ON/START button imme-
diately for quick deflation.
- Do not use this unit in a moving vehicle; this may result in erroneous measurement.
- Blood pressure measurements determined by this monitor are equivalent to those obtained by
a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed
by the American National Standard Institute, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers.
4-3. SUGGESTIONS BEFORE MEASUREMENT
- The first time you use the appliance, please charge up the battery using the USB port provided.
Connect the USB cable provided to your computer to charge up the appliance. When the appli-
ance is fully charged, please unplug the USB cable.
- Avoid eating, smoking or exercising 30 minutes before taking measurements. Relax for 15 mi-
nutes before taking blood pressure.
- Stress increases blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful periods.
- With the exception of contraindications (fistula, ganglion), we recommend taking blood pres-
sure on your left arm (right handed) or right arm (left handed). Please speak to your doctor if
you have any questions.
- You must take blood pressure in a calm environment and you must be relaxed and seated with
your arm on a table.
- Remain stationary and do not speak whilst taking blood pressure.
4-4. SELF BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
- MAM (Microlife Average Mode) : MAM technology automatically takes at least three measure-
ments in a matter of seconds. Repetition is essential when self-monitoring blood pressure as
isolated measurements are often unreliable for a number of reasons due to huge variations in
blood pressure and its susceptibility to factors such as : recent effort, stress and even breathing.
Taking 3 measurements in a row and the average provides more reliable home measurements
by a non-professional. This method comes recommended by the SFHTA (French Hypertension
Society).
- The rule of three : measurements recommended whilst seated, at rest, 3 days in a row :
In the morning before taking medication, 3 measurements in a row (MAM)
In the evening after taking medication, 3 measurements in a row (MAM)
An isolated measurement may not be significant especially in terms of blood pressure self-
monitoring.
- Blood pressure self-measurement : the surveillance targets for a known subject with high blood
pressure self-measuring at home are different and lower than those of the WHO (World Health
Organisation sets the hypertension grade). These targets depend on age and can vary depend-
ing on your health.
General study : SBP* < 135 mmHg and DBP* < 85 mmHg
Age > years old : SBP* < 150 mmHg
Chronic kidney disease : SBP* < 130 mmHg and DBP* < 80 mmHg
* SBP : Systolic Blood Pressure - DBP: Diastolic Blood Pressure
The aforementioned figures are provided for reference only and need to rechecked by the doctor.
It is im-
portant to check your targets in the event of serious disease or pregnancy.
4-5. INSTRUCTIONS
See diagram B page 2
Do not take measurements over clothing. Remove jewellery from the arm you are measuring before taking
measurement (watch, ring, bracelet etc.).
- Sit down on a chair with your feet flat on the floor (do not cross your legs).
- Ensure your mobile or tablet with the BewellConnect® app is within reach.
- Put the blood pressure monitor around the arm with the orange marker at the bottom.
- It must be 2-3cm from elbow crease. The orange marker must lie on the inside arm’s artery.
- Close the velcro (not too tight).
- Press ON/START to turn the blood pressure monitor on. The blue LED lights up.
- Put your arm on the table, palm up so that the blood pressure monitor is level with the heart.
- Remain seated and calm for two minutes before taking measurement.
Note : For more reliable results, take measurements on the same arm.
