You have 2 memories with 60 memory spaces each to
store the measurements of 2 different people separate-
ly or to separate measurements taken in the morning
and at night.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
• As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the pos-
ture in which you want to perform the measurement.
• Select the user memory
ment by holding the
check, during which all numbers appear, the cuff in-
flates automatically. Whilst the cuff is pumping up, the
device already calculates measurements for estimating
the necessary pump pressure. If this pressure is insuf-
ficient, the device automatically pumps more pressure.
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the
pulse is detected.
• When the measurement has been taken, the remain-
ing air pressure dissipates very quickly. The pulse, the
systolic and diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
• Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing
.
• The symbol _ appears if the measurement could not
be performed properly. Take note of the chapter on er-
. Confirm your selection
or
. Start the measure-
button. Following the display
ror messages/trouble-shooting in these instructions for
use and repeat the measurement.
• The device switches off automatically after 2 minutes.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measure-
ment!
6. Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmias:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart
rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this
after the measurement with the symbol
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an
illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of
flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heart-
beat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats,
pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors
such as heart disease, age, physical make-up, excess
stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only
be determined through an examination by your doctor.
If the symbol
is shown on the display after the meas-
urement has been taken, it should be repeated. Please
ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not
speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol
appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-
diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements
can be dangerous. Always follow your GP's instructions.
