Braun VitalScan Plus is a blood pressure monitor that has been developed for easy and accurate blood pressure measurements from the wrist. The measuring accuracy of Braun VitalScan Plus was tested at the time of manufacture and was proven by clinical research in accordance with AAMI/ANSI-SP10.

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 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 a 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)

SYS = systole

= upper value

DIA = diastole

= lower value

• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read these 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.

• Remove the battery compartment cover (F) and insert two batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in the battery compartment (E)).

• New batteries will provide approximately 200 measurements.

• Only discard empty batteries. They should not be disposed of in the household waste, but at appropriate collection sites or at your retailer.

Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement

• Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under the same conditions.

• Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking, coffee or tea consumption.

• Take off wrist watch and jewelry before fitting the monitor on the measuring arm.

• While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, especially the hand of the measuring arm, do not move or speak.

2 cm

• Hold the monitor at heart level

• Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement.

Taking a measurement

1. Fasten the monitor on the palm side of your wrist, roughly 2 cm below the palm line. Make sure that the cuff (G) fits tightly.

Memory function

After each measurement, the blood pressure monitor automatically stores the reading in memory. Please note that stored data will be erased if changing batteries takes longer than 15 seconds.

Recalling stored readings

• To recall stored readings, first turn the device off.

• Then press the memory button («memo») (B).

The latest reading will be displayed.

• Repeatedly pressing the memory button will call up one by one all stored readings.

• To exit the memory mode, turn the device off by pressing the start/stop button.

Storage and cleaning

Clean the product with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Stains on the cuff (G) can be carefully removed with a damp cloth. Do not wash or dry clean the cuff. Do not store the product in a place exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity.

Calibration

This product has been calibrated at the time of manufacture. If used according to the use instructions, periodic re-calibration is not required. If at any time you question the measuring accuracy, please call at 1-888-848-2572.

The device works with a special deflation procedure (stepwise deflation).

Repeat measurement as described under «Taking a measurement». If problem persists, contact a Braun Service Centre or call the Braun Helpline.

Repeat measurement.

Problem Reason Solution

Readings from repeated measurements differ considerably.

Blood pressure is a fluctuating value. For healthy adults, deviations of 10 to 20 mmHg are possible.

Cuff is not properly fitted.

Readings were not consistently taken at heart level.

Talking, coughing, laughing, moving etc. when measuring will influence the reading.

none

Ensure that the monitor is fitted as follows:

- on the palm side of your wrist

- approx. 2 cm away from the palm line.

For each measurement, hold the monitor at heart level.

While measuring, relax, keep still, do not move or speak.
