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 the ABPM device 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.
