Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
• Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under the same
conditions.
• Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking, coffee, tea consumption or any
form of exertion. These factors will influence the measurement results.
• Always measure on the same wrist (normally left).
• Take off wrist watch and jewelry before fitting the monitor on the measuring arm.
•
Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement.
Taking a measurement
1. While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, especially the
hand of the measuring arm (normally left), do not move or speak.
2. Fasten the monitor on the PALM side of your wrist, roughly 2 cm below
the palm line. DO NOT ATTACH LIKE A WRIST WATCH. Make sure that
the cuff fits tightly. See Cuff fitting on page 10.
3. Hold the monitor AT THE HEART LEVEL, as on the examples below.
Do not let arm fall below heart level.
4. Press power button to begin. The measurement starts automatically. While
measurement is in progress, do not move or speak.
Note:
If necessary to interrupt a measurement, press the at any time. The device
immediately cancels the measurement, lowers cuff pressure and enters sleep mode.
5. The cuff will first inflate and then deflate. At the end of the measurement a final
beep sounds and the reading is displayed:
Upper (systolic) value
Lower (diastolic) value
Pulse
6. Press the power button to turn the product off. Otherwise the product will
turn off automatically after 1 minute. If at any time, you want to stop the
measurement, press the power button .
7. Tests results will be saved into the memories automatically ( see Average &
memory functions below). If you don’t want store the data, press and hold the
power button 5 seconds until the M icon is flashing, then press the memory
button to confirm operation.
Irregular heartbeat detection (only for VitalScan 3)
This symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal basal blood pressure – repeat the
measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However,
if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week
with measurements taken daily), we advise you to tell your doctor.
CAUTION:
An irregular heartbeat can be a serious medical condition
requiring medical attention. We recommend contacting your physician
if you see this icon frequently.
