Braun PrecisionSensor™ Pro is a blood pressure monitor that has been developed for easy and accurate blood pressure measurements at the wrist. The accuracy of the product has been tested at the time of manufacture. Measurements can be saved.

For reliable measurements, blood pressure monitors should always be positioned at an appropriate measuring position close to heart level.

The Braun PrecisionSensor™ Pro has an active positioning system that guides the patient’s arm via arrows on the display to the medically recommended measuring position close to the heart.

To ensure accurate results, carefully read these instructions.

Hypertension in the medical practice1)

Hypertension is considered a critical risk factor for a number of cardiovascular related diseases. It is one of the main risk factors for stroke, coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency and renal disease.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 20 % of the world's adult populations has high blood pressure. The prevalence of hypertension is even higher in the older population segments resulting in up to 50 % of people affected.

These data reveal that blood pressure measurement plays a central role in medical practice either as a screening method for undiagnosed individuals or as treatment monitoring tool for diagnosed patients.

The importance of the blood pressure measurement in the doctor’s office calls for a high performance standard with regard to quality and reliability of the professional measuring device. Braun PrecisionSensor™ Pro has been designed to meet these demanding requirements. The device guides the user via arrows on the display to the medically recommended measuring position close to the heart. In this way repeatable readings are achieved. This watchdog feature allows patient self measurement in the doctor’s office, which may be beneficial in reducing the problem of white coat hypertension.

With its technical design, Braun PrecisionSensor™ Pro is the ideal supplementary device for the doctor’s office.

Important

•Deviations in blood pressure values may occur with people suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, angiostenosis, arteriosclerosis in the upper extremities, diabetes or with patients with cardiac pacemakers. In case of doubt, please carry out a comparative measurement with the stethoscope method.

•The active positioning system was developed based on anthropological studies conducted in Europe and is applicable for populations with comparable conditions. The system guides the patient for repeatable measuring positions.

•The cuff of this product is suitable for a wrist circumference between 5.3 and 7.8 inches (13.5 and 20 cm). Measuring deviations may occur if patient’s wrist is not within this range.

•Patient’s self-measurement in the doctor’s office: Prior to the firstselfmeasurement, it is necessary to instruct the patient how to use the appliance correctly.

•Do not spill liquids on this device.

Inserting batteries

•Use only alkaline batteries of the type LR 03 (AAA) (e.g. Duracell-Ultra) as supplied with this product.

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

•New batteries (e.g. Duracell-Ultra) will provide approximately 300 measurements.

•Batteries should not be disposed of in the household waste.

Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement 2)

•Blood pressure should be measured on a seated patient who has had a rest of approx. 3–5 minutes. If indicated, a measurement can also be taken on a person in supine position (refer to «Measurement on a person in supine position»). During measurement, the patient should not move, nor speak.

•Prior to the measurement, the patient should avoid heavy physical exercise or mental stress.

•Avoid taking measurements within 60 minutes after the patient has consumed alcohol or nicotine.

6

•If a patient takes antihypertensive, ask when it was last taken.

•Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement.

Measuring

For accurate results, all blood pressure measurements should be at the appropriate heart level.

1.Fasten the monitor on the patient’s left arm

on the radial side of the forearm (see illustration). Make sure the cuff (G) fits snug. Stand close to the patient in a position so that you can easily see the display and the control buttons. Press the «I/0» button (C). An arrow appears on the right hand side of the display (A). If there are readings stored in the memory, «mem» appears in the lower left corner of the display.

2.Help the patient to take the measuring position as shown. The arms should remain close to the body. Make sure the monitor is positioned approximately at the person’s heart level. Move the forearm of the patient up or down (see illustration) in the direction of the arrow.

7

3.When a measuring position has been reached, you will hear a tone and the display shows a heart symbol. Both indicate that the appropriate measuring position has been reached.

The measurement now starts automatically.

4.When the measurement is complete, a tone will sound again, and the reading is displayed.

Upper (systolic) value Lower (diastolic) value Pulse

Additionally, on the upper display section, three status boxes will appear to confirm that the appropriate measuring position was kept during the complete measuring process.

All three boxes should show «OK». If the following symbols («r» = too high; «w» = too low) appear, the appropriate measuring position was not maintained and the measurement should be repeated.

Important

15 seconds after switching on the device, the measuring process will start automatically, even if the appropriate measuring position has not been reached. If an appropriate position has not been reached, the blood pressure reading may be affected. If at any time you want to discontinue the measurement, press the «I/0» button.

Memory

The blood pressure monitor can store up to

30 readings along with the above mentioned status box information. Readings are stored automatically after each measurement.

8

beep

To recall stored readings, first switch off the device. Then press the memory button (B). Repeatedly pressing the memory button will call up one by one all stored readings (including status box information). The number in the upper left corner of the display indicates the memory position (01 being the oldest, 30 the most recent).

Holding down the memory button for more than a second will delete all memory data completely. After clearing the memory, the monitor will turn off automatically.

Turning off the monitor

Press the «I/0» button to turn the monitor off. Otherwise the monitor will turn off automatically after 2 minutes.

Measurement on patients in supine position

When taking a reading on a patient in supine position the appropriate measurement position close to heart level of the Braun PrecisionSensor™ Pro device is normally achieved automatically. The active positioning system is not needed in this case.

In order to take a correct measurement the position sensor should be switched off for the measurement (refer to «Pre-setting the position sensor»).

Pre-setting the position sensor

The active positioning system of the appliance allows accurate and repeatable blood pressure measurements in the doctor’s office. Therefore, the position sensor is activated in the pre-settings at the time of manufacture. We recommend that you keep it activated. In certain cases, such as measurements on persons lying down, it may be necessary to de-activate the position sensor.

For this purpose, you will find a select button (D) underneath the battery compartment cover.

9

First turn off the monitor. Keep the select button pressed, until a tone sounds. The display shows a flashing «OK» next to the position sensor symbol (see illustration).

If you wish to turn off the position sensor, press the «I/0» button (C): The display changes from «OK» (on) to «–» (off). Press the memory button to confirm the new setting. Then the monitor turns off automatically. In order to re-activate the position sensor, follow the same steps as described above.

Storage, cleaning and disinfection of the product

Cleaning and disinfection of the device housing and the cuff may be done with commercially available cleaning and disinfection solutions. Wipe cuff and housing with a swab that is slightly moistened with the solution and immediately wipe dry with a clean cotton swab.

Do not store the product in a place exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity.

Do not submerge the unit in water or any other liquid.
