patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in
the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be
measured.
Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid
constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not
interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.
Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the
cuff).
Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
Make sure that the cuff is positioned 1-2 cm above the elbow.
The artery mark on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie over
the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
Support your arm so it is relaxed.
Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement
1. Select standard (single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic
triple measurement): see details in chapter «1.».
2. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
3. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move
and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
4. The cuff fit check AR on the display indicates that the cuff is
perfectly placed. If the icon AR-A appears, the cuff is fitted
suboptimally, but it is still ok to measure.
5. The measurement is performed during the inflation. The infla-
tion speed may vary, this is a normal occurence.
6. During the measurement, the pulse indicator BM flashes in the
display.
7. The result, comprising the systolic AM and the diastolic AN blood
pressure and the pulse rate AO is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
8. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
9. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically
after approx. 1 min.).
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» BO 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.
Range
Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure
≥135
too high
2. blood pressure
130 - 134 80 - 84
elevated
3. blood pressure
<130
normal
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.
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.
4. Data Memory
This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.
Select either user 1 or 2 by pressing the user button 5.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» BO 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.
