Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device 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.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
5. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display
The bars on the left-hand edge of the traffic light display
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 optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high
(orange) or dangerously high (red) range. The classification corre-
sponds to the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the internatio-
nal guidelines (ESH, AHA, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».
6. Data Memory
This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button
briefly, when the device is switched off,
9
to show the last stored value.
Pressing the M-button
9
again displays the previous value.
Pressing the M-button
repeatedly enables you to move from
9
one stored value to another.
14
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 30
memories is not exceeded. When the 30 memory is
full, the oldest value is automatically overwritten
with the 31st value. 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 device 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.

7. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery
symbol
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly
10
filled battery displayed). Although the device will continue to
measure reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol
soon as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You
cannot take any further measurements and must replace the
batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment
device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by
the symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in
«Section 2.».
