Caution: The standard material used is latex-free.
Attention: Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or
treatment. Unusual values must always be discussed with your
doctor. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs
prescribed by your doctor.
Attention: The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
Attention: In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.
NOTE: To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument, it is
recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F
(10°C) to 104°F (40°C), with a 15-90% relative humidity.
3. ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
3.1. What is Blood Pressure?
Simply put, arterial blood pressure is the force of blood exerted against the
walls of the arteries. There are two components to blood pressure - systolic
and diastolic pressure. Systolic, the higher pressure, occurs during contraction
of the heart. Diastolic, the lower pressure, occurs when the heart is at "rest."
Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the
brain and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the
nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and frequency of the
heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered.
Blood vessel width is effected by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls.
Blood pressure is traditionally measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
It is recorded as systolic/diastolic. For example a systolic of 120 and
diastolic of 80 would be recorded 120/80.
Blood pressure is a dynamic vital sign - one that changes constantly
throughout the day. A person's "resting" blood pressure is the pressure
Other possible errors and their solutions
If problems occur when using this device, the following points should
be checked.
NOTE: Blood pressure is subject to fluctuations even in healthy people.
ERR 5
HI
LO
The difference between systolic and diastolic is excessive.
Measure again carefully following proper procedures. Consult
your doctor if you still get unusual results of measurements.
The pressure in the cuff is too high (over 300mmHg). Relax for
5 minutes and repeat the measurement.
The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute). Relax for
5 minutes and repeat the measurement.
Malfunction
The display remains blank when
the device is switched on though
the batteries are in place.
The device frequently fails to
measure, or the values
measured are too low or high.
Every measurement results in
different values, although the
device functions normally and
normal values are displayed.
Blood pressure values differ from
those measured at the doctor’s.
Remedy
1. Check battery installation/ polarity.
2. Remove the batteries and if the display is
unusual, then exchange them for new ones.
1. Fit the cuff correctly on the wrist.
2. Before starting measurement make sure
that clothing is not exerting pressure on the
arm. Take articles of clothing off if necessary.
Measure blood pressure again in complete
peace and quiet.
