ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

• What is blood pressure?
  Blood pressure is the force generated by blood in arteries. This force changes constantly according to the heartbeat. When the heart contracts, blood pressure is at its highest level (systolic value) whereas towards the end of the “resting time” the value is at its lowest level (diastolic value).

• What constitutes high blood pressure?
  According to World Health Organization (WHO) definitions, when systolic blood pressure exceeds 140 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure exceeds 90 mmHg, this constitutes high blood pressure (see figures below).

• WHO Classification (source: WHO, Vol. 17 No. 2)
  According to the directive/definition by the World Health Organization (WHO) the measurement results shall be classified and assessed as per the following table.

CHANGES IN BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood pressure is different for each person and it is influenced by many factors (physical activity, stress, temperature changes, smoking, food, the time of the day etc.). Normal blood pressure is lower at night, when you are sleeping or relaxing, and it is higher during the day. Daily fluctuation of 30/50 mmHg is normal. Blood pressure increases with age and it also depends of the way of life. It is a well-known fact that stress, obesity, excessive intake of salt and alcohol con-tribute to higher blood pressure. Blood pressure taken at the doctor´s surgery is only an instantaneous value. Regular checking of your blood pressure at home reflects better the actual blood pressure values in everyday circumstances and it can provide valuable information to your GP.
Important notice:

• Self-check means a check, not a diagnosis or treatment.
• Unusual values must always be consulted with the doctor.
• The displayed values of heartbeat are not a suitable way to check pacemaker frequency!
• If you take any medicine please consult with your doctor the best time for measuring your blood pressure. Under no circumstances should you change the medicine dosage prescribed by your doctor.
• If you suffer from e.g. heart arrhythmia, narrowing of arteries, arteriosclerosis or other circulatory problems, cardiovascular disease; if you use pacemaker, if you are diabetic or a pregnant woman; if you suffer from cramps in upper limbs; consult the use of this blood pressure monitor with your physician because the accuracy of measurement may be affected under those circumstances.
• This device was designed for measuring blood pressure of individuals over 15 years of age. If you apply the device on a child´s arm, the measuring will not be correct. Please consult with a paediatrician on how to take children´s blood pressure.

Heart rhythm disorders
This device can identify possible heart rhythm disorders during the measurement (symbol will appear on the display). It can be a sign of arrhythmia which is a disease where the heart rhythm is irregular because of disturbances of the bioelectrical system which regulates the heart activity. The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slower or faster pulse rate) can be caused by a heart disease, old age, physical disposition, stress or lack of sleep. An irregular heart beat oc-curs when the heart beat deviates by more than 25 % from the average heart beat rate. Should the symbol appear frequently while measuring your blood pressure, please consult your physician. Heart arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a medical examination. An own diagnosis and treat-ment (e.g. changing the medicine dosage) based on the measurement results can be dangerous.

INSTALLATION

Installation or replacement of batteries

1. Remove the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Install or replace 4 pcs of 1.5 V batteries (LR6 or AA) according to the battery direction indicator moulded on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. The other way round replace the battery cover until it engages, an audible click will be heard.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CORRECTLY
Before taking a reading, you should sit quietly for around 10 minutes and there should be an interval of at least 5 minutes between two readings. While taking a measurement you should stay calm and relaxed, and try not to talk. This will improve the accuracy of the readings. The measuring steps are taken as follows:

Applying the arm cuff

1. Plug the air tube connector by slight pressure into the connection socket all out.

2. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the “INDEX” end of the cuff through metal buckle of the cuff.

3. Put your uncovered arm through the cuff loop. The “OK” range indication should be positioned at the top with the air tube pointing downward in the direction of your forearm. Position the artery mark [Ф] over the main artery on the inside of your arm as shown in the figure below. The air tube should be running down the centre of your arm.

4. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 2.5 cm above your elbow. Tighten the cuff by pulling the “INDEX” end of the cuff and fasten it by Velcro, but not too tight (you must be able to fit two fingers between the cuff and your arm). If the cuff is too tight, the readings will not be accurate. Make sure that the cuff is not folded entire length of the air tube leading to the unit should not be squeezed anywhere.

5. Make sure the cuff is at heart level.

   • When measuring blood pressure, lightly bend your elbow while resting your arm on a table.
   • If the level of the arm cuff is lower than the heart, adjust the height by using a pillow or a cushion.

Note:
The following factors can affect the results of blood pressure readings: exercise, having a show-er or a bath, using the toilet, breathing, speaking, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking medication, eating, fluid intake, changes in temperatures, stress, mood, vibrations etc. In order to achieve correct measurements, follow the below instructions:

  1. Do not eat, smoke or drink (especially alcohol) prior to taking the readings. If you feel a strong urge to urinate, please do so. All these factors have an impact on the measurement result (e.g. full urinary bladder may cause the blood pressure to increase by ca. 10 mmHg).
  2. Sit in a chair, place your feet on the ground or lie on a bed. Relax and try to stay calm for at least 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Before applying the arm cuff, remove any tight clothes, watches or jewellery from your arm.
  4. Rest your arm on the table so that it is loosely stretched and the cuff is at your heart level or lie on a bed and place your arm alongside of your body (fig. 3). The arm must be at ease. Do not speak while taking the readings.
  5. The arm cuff must be at the heart level the whole time otherwise the readings will not be accurate.
  6. Bear in mind that blood pressure changes during the day. Try to measure your blood pres-sure several times during the day so that you can better understand your body and its response to various situations (after physical activity, while working, after meals …). If you wish to achieve comparable results, always take the measurements at the same time of the day and under the same conditions.
  7. Do not give weight to one reading only. At least two readings should be taken and there should be an interval of about 5 minutes between them. More readings taken after a longer period of time will give you better information about your blood pressure.
  8. Sensitive people might experience certain discomfort while taking the measurements.
  9. If the pressure in the cuff is too high, if you do not feel well or if you start feeling unwell all of a sudden, please press the key ON/OFF for immediate and fast deflation (deflating of air).
  10. If the device is used in temperatures or moisture outside the limits specified in the section on TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, the readings will not be accurate.

BEGIN TO MEASURE

1. Press the ON/OFF is displayed for approximately 2 seconds. all symbols. Then appears the number 0 or the value of the last measurement
2. Once all the basic information has been displayed, the arm cuff will start to inflate , the symbol (inflation) will be shown on display.
3. The air pressure in the arm cuff will slowly start to deflate. Once a tendency towards high pressure has been recognised the arm cuff will inflate a bit more and the pressure in the arm cuff will increase. As soon as the pulse is recognizable, the symbol will be displayed on the monitor.
4. The measurement results of systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse rate (pulse) will be displayed on the monitor.
5. You can finish the measurement at any time by pressing the ON/OFF key.
6. If an “E” symbol appears on the monitor, the measurements were not properly taken. Please follow the TROUBLESHOOTING instructions and repeat the measuring.
7. The readings will be automatically stored into the memory.Switch off the device by pressing the ON/OFF key, alternativelly the device will switch off automatically after 1 minute.
   Note
   If the pressure in the arm cuff is not sufficiently high or if the arm cuff moved, the arm cuff will start inflating again – automatic pumping-up to a suitable higher pressure value, this is not a de-vice error.

TAKING AND STORING A READING

• The device can of recorded data 30 total. Each data set consists of values of systolic and dia-stolic pressure and pulse rate.

• Press and hold the ON/OFF key for 3 seconds. The device enters the memory mode and values for the last readings are displayed on the monitor. Press the ON/OFF key to be able to move up.

• The most current measured value will be stored in memory “1”. If the memory is full, the oldest value will be deleted.

• If an irregular heart beat has been detected during the measurement this information will also be stored and it will be displayed when recalling the measured values from the device memory.

• When replacing the batteries, the stored data will be kept in the memory.

After Use Cleaning

1. Do not use coarse and aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. petrol) to clean the device.
2. Clean the device with a soft and dry cloth.
3. Do not wash or dry-clean the arm cuff, wipe it with a moist cloth if necessary.
