Important Information on Blood Pressure and its Measurement

How does high or low blood pressure arise?
Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and speed of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered.Blood vessel width is controlled by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls. Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity: During the “blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the heart’s “rest period” (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).

Which values are normal?
Please refer to the diagram below (Picture-01)

There are six levels graded and shown on the display of device. Please refer 3.2 Identifying what You See on your LED Display to the table below. Different levels represent different interval scales according to the WHO.

Measurement Procedure

Before measurement:

• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement. These factors may influence the measurement result. Please relax and be calm for approximatley 10 minutes before the measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits tightly to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).

Fitting the Cuff
Please refer to picture-05

• Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tube should be on the inside of your arm extending downward to your hand. Make certain the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3 cm above the elbow. Important! The a on the edge of the cuff (Artery Mark) must lie over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
• To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the hook and loop closure together.
• There should be little free space between your arm and the cuff. You should be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs that don’t fit properly result in false measurement values. Measure your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
• Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.

Measuring your Blood Pressure
Refer to picture-06

1. Sit comfortably in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

2. Select your User ID (A or B).

3. Stretch your arm forward on the desk and keep relaxing, make sure the palm of hand is upturned. Make sure arm is in correct position, to avoid body movement. Sit still and do not talk or move during the measurement. After the cuff has been appropriately positioned on the arm and connected to the blood pressure monitor, the measurement can begin:

   • a) Press the START/STOP button. The pump begins to inflate the cuff. In the display, the increasing cuff pressure is continually displayed.

   • b) After automatically reaching an individual pressure, the pump stops and the pressure slowly falls. The cuff pressure is displayed during the measurement.

   • c) When the device has detected your pulse, the heart symbol in the display begins to blink.

   • d) When the measurement has been concluded, the measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, as well as the pulse will be displayed.

   • e) The measurement results are displayed until you switch the device off. If no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the device switches off automatically.

   • f) Cuff self-checking symbol ( )
     The cuff incorrect symbol( ) will be displayed if the cuff wraping too loose to detect enough pressure.

   • g) Movement error symbol ( )
     The Movement Error Symbol ( ) is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the cuff, and wait 2-3 minutes. Reapply the cuff and take another measurement.

NOTE:
Patient Position:

1. Comfortably seated
2. Legs uncrossed
3. Feet flat on the floor
4. Position with back and arm supported
5. Middle of the CUFF at the level of the right atrium of the heart

Irregular Heartbeat Detector

• This symbol – indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected during the measurement.
• In this case, the result may deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement.
• Consult your physician on frequent appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol.
• This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also analyzes pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
• If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed after the measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, we recommend the patient to seek medical advice. The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Troubleshooting

SYMBOL DESCRIPTIONS
The following symbols may appear in this manual, on the Medescan Smart Blood Pressure Monitor, or on it’s accessories. Some of the symbols represent standards and compliances associated with the Medescan Smart Blood Pressure Monitor and its use.

Memory
Each unit stores 120 sets measurements for 2 users, totally 240 memory sets (User A and B).

Viewing the stored values
With the unit off, press the Memory button. The display first shows “A”, then shows an average of all measurements stored in the unit.
Please note: Measurements for each user are averaged and stored separately. Be certain that you are viewing the measurements for the correct user. Pressing the Memory button again displays the previous value. To view a particular stored memory, press and hold the Memory button to scroll to that stored reading.

Discontinuing a Measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g the patient feels unwell), the Start/Stop button can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff pressure automatically.

Using the AC Adapter
You may also operate this monitor using the AC adapter (output 5V DC1A with Type-C connector). Use only the approved AC adapter to avoid damaging the unit.

• Ensure that the AC adapter and cable are not damaged.
• Plug the adapter cable into the AC adapter port on the right side of the blood pressure monitor.
• Plug the adapter into your electrical outlet. When the AC adapter is connected, no battery current is consumed.

Note: No power is taken from the batteries while the AC adapter is connected to the monitor. If electrical power is interrupted,(e.g., by accidental removal of the AC adapter from the outlet) the monitor must be reset by removing the plug from the socket and reinserting the AC adapter connection.

Care and Maintenance

Wash hands after each time measurement. If one device is used by different patients, wash hands before and after each use.

• Do not expose the device to either extreme temperatures, humidity, dust or direct sunlight.
• The cuff contains a sensitive air-tight bubble. Handle this cuff carefully and avoid all types of stress through twisting or buckling.
• Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use gas, thinners or similar solvents. Spots on the cuff can be removed carefully with a damp cloth and soapsuds. The cuff with bladder must not be washed in a dishwasher, clothes washer, or submerged in water.
• Handle the tube carefully. Do not pull on it. Do not allow the tubing to kink and keep it away from sharp edges.
• Do not drop the monitor or damage it in any way. Avoid strong vibrations.
• Never open the monitor! This voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed of in accordance with the locally applicable regulations, not with domest`ic waste.

Accuracy test
Sensitive measuring devices may need to be checked for accuracy from time to time. Please contact Medescan customer service if you have doubt about the measurements obtained.
