
AF detection is only activated in MAM mode.
 You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button or open the cuff (e.g. if you feel uneasy or
an unpleasant pressure sensation).

This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.
 In pregnancy the AFIB symbol can be ignored.
Manual inflation
In case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135
mmHg), it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually.
Press the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up
to a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the
button pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above the
expected systolic value – then release the button.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button
1
until «M»
AP
is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the MAM button
4
.
 «CL» is displayed when the reading is deleted from the
memory successfully.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure
The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display
BL
points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The
value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or
high (red) range. The classification corresponds to the following
ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data
in mmHg.
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol
This symbol
BT
indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected.
In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your
actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the
measurement.

In MAM mode Atrial Fibrillation (AF) will also be checked:
follow the directions in chapter ««1. Appearance of the
Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for early Detection (Active only in
MAM mode)».

If the symbol appears, select MAM mode and measure
again: see details in chapter ««2. Using the device for the
first time»».
5. Data memory
This device automatically stores the last 99 measurement values.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button
3
briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M»
AP
, and «A» which stands for the average
of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit
AR
-A are
not considered in the average value.

Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99
memories is not exceeded. When the 99 memory is full,
the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
100 value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be
lost.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure
too high
≥135 ≥85 Seek medical
advice
2. blood pressure
elevated
130 - 134 80 - 84 Self-check
3. blood pressure
normal
<130 <80 Self-check
Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of
the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and
indicates when the heart rate is irregular.
