• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
• As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the posture
in which you want to perform the measurement.
• Start the blood pressure monitor with the on/off button .
The most recently used user memory ( , or )
appears. To change the user memory, press the function
button SET.
• Now start the measurement by holding the on/off button .
• Following the display check, during which all numbers light
up, the cuff inflates automatically. Whilst the cuff is pumping
up, the device already calculates measurements for estimat-
ing the necessary pump pressure. If this pressure is insuffi-
cient, the device automatically pumps more pressure.
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and as
soon as a pulse is detected, the pulse symbol flashes.
Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing the
on/off button and the device switches to standby
mode.
• Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse readings are
displayed.
• The measurement is automatically stored.
• The symbol appears if the measurement could not be
performed properly. Observe the chapter “Error messages/
troubleshooting” in these instructions for use and repeat
the measurement.
• The device switches off automatically after 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia dis-
orders during measurement and if necessary indicates the
measurement with the flashing icon .
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a
condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of
defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.
The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or
excessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other
things, by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, exces-
sive use of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can
only be ascertained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for
5 minutes between measurements and not talk or move dur-
ing the measurement. If the icon appears often, please
contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based
on the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your
doctor’s instructions.
