Intended use of Braun ExactFit 5
Braun upper arm blood pressure monitor has been developed for accurate and
comfortable blood pressure measurements. The measuring accuracy of Braun’s
upper arm blood pressure monitor was tested at the time of manufacture and was
proven by clinical research in accordance with ESH.
What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the
early morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again
in the afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary
in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements
can fluctuate.
Blood pressure readings are taken from a healthy 31-year -old male, measured
at 5-minute intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office only provides a momentary value.
Repeated measurements at home better reflect one’s actual blood pressure
values under everyday conditions. Moreover, many people have different blood
pressure when they measure at home because they tend to be more relaxed than
when in the doctor’s office. Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home
can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal blood
pressure values under actual «everyday» conditions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood
pressure values when measured at resting pulse.
Blood pressure
(mmHg)| Normal
values| Mild
hypertension| Severe
hypertension
---|---|---|---
SYS = systole (upper value)| up to 140| 140-180| over 180
DIA = diastole (lower value)| up to 90| 90-110| over 110
Intended use
- This monitor is intended for use in measuring the blood pressure and pulse rate of adults and uses the oscillometric method.
- This product is intended for household use only.
- This device is not intended as a substitute for regular check-ups by your doctor, please continue to visit your doctor on a regular basis for a professional reading.
Warning and precautions
- To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read the complete use instructions.
- This product is intended for household use only. Keep product and batteries away from children.
- People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.
- If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor first.
- The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.

Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
- Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning and evening, under the same conditions.
- Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking or consuming coffee or tea.
- Take off wristwatch and jewelry before fitting the cuff on the measuring arm.
- While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, and do not move or speak.
- Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm. The cuff must be at heart level.
- Do not vibrate the unit during measurement, or the proper measurement will not be achieved.
- Perform measurement quietly in a relaxed position.
- Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
- Do not wrap the cuff over jacket or sweater sleeve or measurement cannot be done.
- Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.
- Do not in any way twist the arm cuff.
- Do not inflate the monitor’s cuff when it is not wrapped around the arm.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or change any parts of the monitor including the cuff.
- Do not drop the product or put it through a strong impact.
- The device is not supposed to be used if your arm has any wound or injury.
Choosing the right cuff
For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct size cuff
which best fits your upper arm. Choose the cuff size according to your arm
circumference and make sure the bottom of the cuff is 2~3cm above your elbow.
- Small/Medium cuff = 22~32cm arm circumference
- Large/X-Large cuff = 32~42cm arm circumference
Applying the arm cuff
-
Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop.
The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff.
-
Plug the air hose into the connector (Fig. 4).
-
If the cuff is located correctly, the velcro will be on the outside of the cuff and the metal ring will not touch the skin (Fig. 5).
-
Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately (2~3 cm) above the elbow. The tube should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm (Fig. 6).
-
Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around your arm (Fig. 7).
-
When the cuff is positioned properly, press the Velcro firmly against the pile side of the cuff.
-
This cuff is suitable for use if the <
> mark falls within the < > marked by two arrows when the cuff is tightened around your arm (Fig. 8). -
Sit on a chair and place your arm on the table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart (Fig. 9).

Irregular heartbeat detector
The appearance of this symbol signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was
detected during the measurement. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular
pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this icon.
Usually, this is not a cause for concern, however, if the symbol appears
often, we recommend you seek medical advice. The device does not replace a
cardiac examination but serves to help detect pulse irregularities at an early
stage.
Low battery indicator
When the low battery indicator flashes on the display, it means the battery is
low and the four batteries need to be replaced with alkaline LR6 (AA)
batteries.
** After replacing batteries, BPM will go into time-setting mode automatically
and show the last measurement time on screen. Please set the current date/time
before taking the next measurement to get the correct average result.
