Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that
also analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instru-
ment is clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol
appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on
measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but
serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
5. Traffic Light Indication in the Display
The bars on the left-hand edge of the traffic light display
20
show you the range within which the indicated blood pressure
value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (red)
range. The classification corresponds to the 6 ranges in the Table
as defined by the WHO, as described in «Section 1.».
6. Data Memory
At the end of each measurement, this instrument automatically
stores the result, including date and time.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button
10
briefly, when the instrument is switched
off. The display first shows «
M
»
17
and then a value, e.g. «
M
17 ». This means that there are 17 values in the memory. The
instrument then switches to the last stored result. Pressing the
M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing the M-
button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 100
is not exceeded. When the memory is full, the old values
are automatically overwritten with new ones. Values
should be evaluated by a doctor before the memory
capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the instrument must have been
switched off beforehand) until « CL » appears and then release
the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
while « CL » is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.
How not to store a reading
Press the ON/OFF button
1
while the reading is being displayed.
Keep the button pressed until « M »
16
is flashing and then
release it. Confirm by pressing the M-button.
7. Setting the Alarm Function
This instrument allows you to set 2 alarm times at which an
alarm signal will then be triggered. This can be a useful aid, for
instance as a reminder to take medication.
1. To set an alarm time, press the time button
11
(the instru-
ment must have been switched off beforehand) and immedi-
ately afterwards the M-button
10
and hold both down until
the bell symbol
21
appears in the top left of the display.
Then release both buttons. The flashing « 1 » in the display
indicates that the first alarm time can now be set.
2. Press the time button to set the hours – the hour display
flashes and pressing the M-button allows you to set the
alarm hour. To confirm, press the time button.
3. The minute display will now flash. The minutes can be set
using the M-button. To confirm, press the time button again.
4. The bell symbol will now flash. Use the M-button to select
whether the alarm time is to be active (bell) or inactive
(crossedout bell). To confirm, press the time button.
