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 practice
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.

For further information on the topic of blood pressure measurement or
information on diagnosis and treatment of hypertension you may visit the
Braun professional home page at www.braun-medical.com.
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
• 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.

2)
• 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
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

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.

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 («
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.

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.

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
