Getting to know your device
Check that the device packaging has not been tampered with and make sure that
all contents are present. Before use, ensure that there is no visible damage
to the device or accessories and that all packaging material has been removed.
If you have any doubts, do not use the device and contact your retailer or the
specified Customer Services address.
The upper arm blood pressure monitor is used to carry out non-invasive
measurement and monitoring of the arterial blood pressure values in adults.
This allows you to quickly and easily measure your blood pressure, save the
measurements and display the development and average values of the
measurements taken.
You are also warned of possible existing cardiac arrhythmia. The recorded
values are classified and evaluated graphically. This blood pressure monitor
also has a hemodynamic stability display, which is referred to as a resting
indicator throughout these instructions for use. This shows whether you, and
consequently, your circulatory system, are sufficiently at rest when the blood
pressure measurement is being taken and is, therefore, a more precise
indicator of your resting blood pressure.
Read more about this in section 6.

Measuring blood pressure
Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Attaching the cuff
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 points to the center of
the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff snugly, but not too tightly, around the
arm, and fix it with the hook and loop fastener. The cuff should be fitted
tight enough to allow just two fingers to fit beneath the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the connection for the cuff connector.
This cuff is suitable for you if the index mark ( ▼) is within the OK range
after fitting the cuff on the upper arm.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm, the line should be
located on the inside of your elbow. Ensure that your arm is not pressing on
the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which may mean that
the measured blood pressure values are different. Always perform the
measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different, please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be used for the measurement.
Important: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 42 cm.
Adopting the correct posture
- Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes. Otherwise, deviations can occur.
- You can take the measurement while sitting or lying. Make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
- To take your blood pressure, make sure you are sitting comfortably with your arms and back leaning on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
- To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain still during the measurement and not to speak.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the posture in which you want to
perform the measurement.
- Press the START/STOP button to start the blood pressure monitor. All display elements are briefly displayed.
The blood pressure monitor will begin the measurement automatically after 3
seconds. The measurement is taken during the inflation phase.
You can cancel the measurement at any time by pressing the START/STOP button .
As soon as a pulse is found, the pulse symbol is displayed.
-
Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings are displayed. The resting indicator display (see section 6) illuminates in accordance with the positive or negative classification.
-
appears if the measurement could not be performed properly (see section 10 “Error messages/troubleshooting”). 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 or symbol appears on the display.
-
Press the START/STOP button to switch off the blood pressure monitor. The measurement is then stored in the selected user memory.
If Bluetooth® data transfer has been activated, data is transferred to the
“beurer HealthManager”-app after confirming the user memory (see chapter 8
“Transferring measured values”). The blood pressure monitor shows the
Bluetooth® symbol during data transfer. Press the START/STOP button again to
switch off the blood pressure monitor.
Please note that you must add the blood pressure monitor in “My devices” in
the “beurer HealthManager”-app to enable data transfers. The “beurer
HealthManager”-app must be active to allow data transfers. If the current data
is not displayed on your smartphone, repeat the transfer as described in
Chapter 8.
If you forget to turn off the blood pressure monitor, it will switch off automatically after approximately 3 minutes. In this case, too, the value is stored in the selected or most recent user memory and the data is transferred if Bluetooth® data transfer has been activated. The Bluetooth® symbol appears on the blood pressure monitor display during data transfer.
- Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This unit 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 of arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition in which the
heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the bioelectrical system that
regulates the heartbeat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heartbeats, 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 measurement 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.
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 pressure 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 classification
on the display and the scale on the unit 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
normal”.
Blood pressure value category | Systole (in mmHg) | Diastole (in mmHg) | Action |
---|---|---|---|
Grade 3: severe hypertension | Z 180 | >110 | seek medical attention |
Grade 2: moderate hypertension | 160-179 | 100-109 | seek medical attention |
Grade 1: mild hypertension | 140-159 | 90-99 | regular monitoring by a doctor |
High normal | 130 – 139 | 85 – 89 | regular monitoring by a doctor |
Normal | 120 – 129 | 80 – 84 | self-monitoring |
Optimal | < 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 blood pressure, the device automatically determines whether
you are at rest or not. If there is no indication that your circulatory system
is not sufficiently at rest, the symbol (hemodynamic stability) lights up
green and the measurement can be recorded as a reliable resting blood pressure
value.
GREEN: Haemodynamic 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. However, if there is an indication that the
circulatory system is not sufficiently at rest (hemodynamic instability), the
symbol lights up red.
In this case, the measurement should be repeated after a period of physical and mental rest. 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 pressure level and regulating the patient’s medical treatment.
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. A lack of resting blood pressure can have
various causes, such as physical or mental strain or distraction, speaking, or
experiencing cardiac arrhythmias during the measurement. In an overwhelming
number of cases, the HSD diagnosis will give a very good guide as to whether
the circulatory system is rested when taking the measurement. Certain patients
suffering from cardiac arrhythmia or chronic mental conditions can remain
hemodynamically unstable in the long term, something which persists even after
repeated periods of rest. 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. The blood pressure measurements taken when the circulatory system was
at rest represent particularly reliable results.
Saving, displaying, and deleting measured values
The results of every successful measurement are stored together with the date and time. The oldest measurement is overwritten in the event of more than 60 measurements.
