Intended use

Intended use
The blood pressure monitor is intended for the fully automatic, non-invasive measurement of arterial blood pressure and pulse values on the upper arm.

Target group
It is designed for self-measurement by adults in the home environment and is suitable for users whose upper arm circumference is within the range printed on the cuff.

Indication/clinical benefits
The user can record their blood pressure and pulse values quickly and easily using the device. The recorded values are classified according to internationally applicable guidelines and evaluated graphically. Furthermore, the device can detect any irregular heart beats that occur during measurement and inform the user via a symbol in the display. The device saves the recorded measurements and can also output average values of previous measurements. The recorded data can provide healthcare service providers with support during the diagnosis and treatment of blood pressure problems, and therefore plays a part in the long-term monitoring of the user’s health.

Usage
General rules when measuring blood pressure yourself

• In order to generate as informative a profile of the progression of your blood pressure as possible and ensure that the measured values can be compared, you should measure your blood pressure regularly and always at the same times of day. It is recommended that you measure your blood pressure twice a day: once in the morning after getting up and once in the evening.
• You should always carry out the measurement when you are sufficiently physically rested. You should therefore avoid taking measurements during stressful periods.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute between the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.

Attaching the cuff

Fundamentally, blood pressure can be measured on both arms. Certain deviations between the measured blood pressure on the right arm and left arm are due to physiological causes and completely normal. You should always perform the measurement on the arm with the highest blood pressure values. Before starting self-measurement, consult your doctor in this regard. From this point on, always take measurements on the same arm.

The device may only be operated with one of the following cuffs. This should be selected in accordance with your upper arm circumference. The fit should be checked before measurement using the index mark described below.

• Included in standard delivery

• Place the cuff onto the bare upper arm. The circulation of the arm must not be hindered by tight clothing or similar.

• The cuff must be placed on the upper arm so that the bottom edge is positioned 2-3 cm above the elbow and over the artery. The line should point to the center of the palm here

• Guide the end of the cuff that is sticking out through the metal ring, fold it back over the arm and close the cuff using the hook-and-loop fastener. The cuff should be fastened tightly, but not too tightly, so that two fingers can still fit under the closed cuff.

• the cuff is suitable for you if the index mark ( ) is within the OK range after fitting the cuff.

• Now insert the cuff line into the connection for the cuff connector

Adopting the correct posture

• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you are sitting upright nd comfortably. Lean back and place your arm on a surface. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet next to each other flat on the floor.

• Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.

• To avoid distorting the measurement, you should remain as still as possible during the measurement and not speak

Performing the blood pressure measurement

• To start the blood pressure monitor, press the Start/stop button . All display elements are briefly displayed.

The blood pressure monitor will begin the measurement automatically after 3 seconds. The cuff automatically inflates

Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing the Start/stop button .

The cuff’s air pressure is slowly released. If you already recognize a tendency for high blood pressure, you should reinflation the cuff and increase the cuff’s pressure again. As soon as a pulse is found, the pulse symbol is displayed.

• Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse measurements are displayed.

• A symbol at the bottom of the display also lights up to indicate whether you were sufficiently relaxed during the blood pressure measurement (green symbol = sufficiently at rest; red symbol = not at rest). Observe the chapter on interpreting results/measuring the resting indicator in these instructions for use.

• appears if the measurement could not be performed properly. Observe the   chapter on error messages/troubleshooting in these instructions for use and repeat the measurement.

• Now select the desired user memory by pressing the M1 or M2 memory buttons. If you do not select a user memory, the measurement is stored in the most recently used user memory. The relevant symbol or appears on the display.

• Using the Start/stop button , switch off the blood pressure monitor. The measurement is then stored in the selected user memory.
  If you forget to turn off the device, it will switch off automatically after approx. one minute. In this case too, the value is stored in the selected or most recently used user memory.

• Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.

Evaluating results

General information about blood pressure

• Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream presses against the arterial walls. Arterial blood pressure constantly changes in the course of a cardiac cycle.
• Blood pressure is always stated in the form of two values:
  • The highest pressure in the cycle is called systolic blood pressure. This arises when the heart muscle contracts and blood is pumped into the blood vessels.
  • The lowest is diastolic blood pressure, which is when the heart muscle has completely stretched back out and the heart fills with blood
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during repeat measurements, considerable differences between the measured values may occur. One-off or irregular measurements therefore do not provide reliable information about the actual blood pressure. Reliable assessment is only possible when you perform the measurement regularly under comparable conditions.

Cardiac arrhythmia
This device can identify potential disruptions 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 heartbeat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical makeup, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be determined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Only they are able to determine any arrhythmia during an examination.

Risk indicator

The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance with the following table

However, these standard values serve only as a general guideline, as the individual blood reassure varies in different people and different age groups etc.

It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is classified as dangerous.

The bar chart on the display and the scale on the device show which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g. systole in the high normal category and diastole in the normal category), the graphical classification on the device always shows the higher category; for the example given this would be high Norma

Blood pressure value category| Systole (in mmHg)| Diastole (in mmHg)| Action
---|---|---|---
Level 3: severe hypertension| red| ≥ 180| ≥ 110| Seek medical attention
Level 2: moderate hypertension| orange| 160 – 179| 100 – 109| Seek medical attention
Level 1: mild hypertension| yellow| 140 – 159| 90 – 99| Regular monitor- ink by doctor
High normal| green| 130 – 139| 85 – 89| Regular monitor- ink by doctor
Normal| green| 120 – 129| 80 – 84| Self-monitoring
Optimal| green| < 120| < 80| Self-monitoring

Measuring the resting indicator (using the HSD diagnosis)

The most frequent error made when measuring blood pressure is taking the measurement when not at rest (hemodynamic stability), which means that both the systolic and the diastolic blood pressures are distorted
While measuring the blood pressure, the device automatically determines whether you are at rest or not.

GREEN: Hemodynamic stability
Measurement of the systolic and diastolic pressure is increased when the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest and is a very reliable indicator of resting blood pressure.
The blood pressure measurement must be taken when the
patient is physically and mentally rested, as it will be the basis for diagnosing the blood ressure level and regulating the patient’s medical treatment. The blood pressure measurements taken when the circulatory system was at rest represent particularly reliable results

RED: Lack of hemodynamic stability
It is very probable that the systolic and diastolic blood pressures have not been measured whilst the patient is at rest and the resting blood pressure measurement has therefore been distorted.

Repeat the measurement after a rest and relaxation period of at least five minutes. Go to a sufficiently quiet and comfortable spot and remain there calmly; close your eyes, breathe deeply and evenly and try to relax.
If the next measurement also shows insufficient stability, you can repeat the measurement after another resting period. If the measurements continue to show some instability, identify these blood pressure measurements as having been taken when the circulatory system had not been sufficiently rested.
In this case, nervousness or inner anxiety may be the cause and this cannot be cured by brief periods of rest. Existing cardiac arrhythmias may also prevent a stable blood pressure measurement. The accuracy of the resting blood pressure results is reduced in these users. Like any medical measurement method, the precision of the HSD diagnosis is limited and can lead to incorrect results in some cases.

Saving, displaying and deleting measured values

The results of every successful measurement are stored together with the date and time. If there are more than 60 measurements, the oldest measurements are lost.
