Intended use

The BM 51 easyClip upper arm blood pressure monitor is intended for home use and serves as a non-invasive way
of measuring and monitoring arterial blood pressure values and pulse rates in adults with an upper arm circumference
of 22–42 cm. As a result, you can quickly and easily measure your blood pressure and pulse and view various average values from previous measurements. The recorded measurements are classified and evaluated graphically. A symbol in the display also warns of possible existing cardiac arrhythmia.

Warnings and safety notes

Notes on use

In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your blood pressure at the same time of day.
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
Before the initial blood pressure measurement, always make sure to rest for about 5 minutes!
Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession, make sure to always wait at least 1 minute between individual measurements.
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
The measurements taken by you are for your information only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination! Discuss the measured values with your doctor and never base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their dosages).
Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling
in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical activity such as playing sport) can influence the measurement accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who has responsibility for their safety or they receive instructions from this person on how to use the device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they do not play with it.
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
The easyClip cuff included in delivery is only intended for use in combination with the BM 51 easyClip blood pressure monitor from Beurer. Do not use the cuff for other blood pressure monitors.
Only use the device on people that have the upper arm circumference specified for the device.
Please note that during inflation, the functions of the limb in question may be impaired.
During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of the cuff line.
Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may cause injury.
Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e. g. intravascular access or intravascular therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mastectomy.

Initial use

Inserting the batteries

Remove the battery compartment lid on the rear of the device.
Insert four 1.5 V AA (alkaline type LR6) batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted the correct way round in accordance with the markings. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Carefully close the battery compartment lid again.
All display elements are briefly displayed, flashes in the display. Now set the date and time as described below.

If the battery replacement symbol is permanently displayed, you can no longer perform any measurements and must replace all batteries. Once the batteries have been removed from the device, the date and time must be set again. Any saved measured values are retained.

Setting the hour format, date and time
It is essential that you set the date and time. Otherwise, you will not be able to save your measured values correctly with a date and time and access them again later.
There are two different ways to access the menu from which you can adjust the settings:

Before initial use and after each time you replace the battery: When inserting batteries into the device, you will be taken to the relevant menu automatically.
If the batteries have already been inserted: Press and hold the SET setting button on the device for approx. 5 seconds with the device switched off.

In this menu you can adjust the following settings in succession:
Hour format Date Time

Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part (not included in delivery). The mains part can be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service address using order number 071.95. However, before connecting the device with the mains part, please ensure that you have removed the batteries from the device. During mains operation, there must not be any batteries in the battery compartment, as this could damage the device.

To avoid any potential damage, the device may only be operated with a mains part that meets the specifications described in chapter “Technical specifications”.
Furthermore, the mains part must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on the right-hand side of the blood pressure monitor.
Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the mains socket.
After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug the mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and time setting but the saved measured values are retained.

Usage

Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring. The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm. Circulation in the arm must not be restricted by tight clothing or similar.

Attaching the cuff

1. Place the cuff onto the bare upper arm. Press the bracket together using your fingers, in such a way that the area where the upper arm should be placed opens.
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 centre of the palm.
Close the hook-and-loop fastener. In doing so, the cuff should be fastened so that two fingers fit under the cuff.
Now fold the protruding part down. Secure the protruding part using the additional hook-and-loop fastener on the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the connection for the cuff connector.

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 device 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, always make sure to rest for about 5 minutes! Otherwise deviations can occur.
You can take the measurement while sitting or lying. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
To carry out a blood pressure measurement, 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.
Wait at least 1 minute before taking another measurement!

Selecting memory
Press the SET setting button. Select the relevant user memory ( or 2 ) by pressing the -/+ function buttons.
You have 2 memories, each with 100 memory spaces, to enable the separate storage of measurements for 2 different people. Confirm your selection with the START/STOP button
or wait for 3 seconds. Your selection is then automatically stored.
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 values light up briefly. After the full-screen display, the last stored measurement ap-pears. If there is no measurement in the memory, the unit displays the value .
The blood pressure monitor will begin measurement automatically after 5 seconds.
The cuff automatically inflates. The measurement itself is taken during the inflation phase. As soon as a pulse is found, the pulse symbol will be displayed.
You can cancel the measurement at any time by pressing the START/STOP button .
Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse measurements are displayed.
appears if the measurement has not been performed properly. Refer to chapter “10. What if there are problems?” in these instructions for use and repeat the measurement.
Press the START/STOP button to 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. 1 minute. Even in this event, the value is stored in the selected or most recently used user memory.
Wait at least 1 minute before taking another measurement!

Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruption 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 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 heart beats, 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 measure-ment has been taken, repeat the measurement. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol frequently, appears please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your doctor’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 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 normal.
