Neither the information contained herein nor this product
may be used to diagnose or treat health problems, or to
prescribe drugs. If you have or suspect that you have a
medical problem, please seek immediate advice from
your doctor.
• Do not conduct any measurements if the temperature is
low (below +5 °C) or high (over +40 °C), or if the relative
humidity is over 90 %, as this can lead to inaccurate readings.
• Wait 30 to 45 minutes, before taking a measurement if you
have just had a caffeinated drink or a cigarette.
• Relax for at least 5 to 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Please wait 3 to 5 minutes between measurements, so
that your blood vessels can return to the state they were
in prior to measurement. You may have to adapt the waiting time to your personal physiology.
• It is recommended that you use the same arm for each
measurement (preferably the left) and take the measurement at about the same time every day.
• Sit down comfortably with your elbows placed on the table
and both feet on the ground. Please do not interlock your
legs during the measurement.

arm on a fl at surface at the same level as your heart.
• Take the measurement at room temperature in a quiet and
stress-free environment.
• The unit should not be moved or shaken during the measurement. Please do not speak during the measurement.
• Please keep in mind that blood pressure naturally varies
depending on the time of day and is affected by many
different factors. Blood pressure is usually highest at work
and reaches its lowest level during the sleep phase.
• Blood pressure measurements should be assessed by a
doctor or trained healthcare professional who is familiar
with your medical history. If you use the unit and regularly
record the results, please keep your doctor informed with
regard to the ongoing changes in your blood pressure.

What is blood pressure?
A force is created by the heart as the ventricleforcibly ejects
blood into the blood vessels and through the vascular system. Another force is created by the arteries as they resist
the blood fl ow. Blood pressure is the result of these two
forces.
What are systolic and diastolic pressures?
Systolic pressure is the highest pressure at the height of
the heart‘s contraction. Diastolic pressure is the lowest
pressure when the heart is resting.
Is my blood pressure normal?
See the blood pressure classifi cation chart released by the
WHO (World Health Organization) on page 39 for evaluation of your blood pressure level.
What about low blood pressure?
In general, a lower blood pressure reading is better unless
causes unpleasant symptoms such as fainting and/or light-
headedness.
The warranty for this blood pressure monitor is valid for any
error on the part of the manufacturer under normal use for
3 years from the date of purchase. If your unit does not
function properly due to defective parts or assembly, we will
repair it free of charge.
With the exception of the battery and cuff, all parts of the
unit are subject to this warranty. Damage caused by improper handling of your unit is not guaranteed.
We recommend that the accuracy of the unit be checked
after 2 years from manufacturing date by an authorized

Function description
Based on oscillometric method and silicon integrate pressure sensor technology, blood pressure and heart rate can
be measured automatically and non-invasively which helps
to ease the operation. The Geratherm med control have 2 x
99 memories with date and time display, a big LCD screen
and arrhythmia detection. The RCC (radio controlled clock)
function can automatically receive the German radio clock
signal (DCF77) to adjust the clock accurately. And the colour LED for indicates the class according to WHO of your
blood pressure. Also the monitor has the function of averaging the latest three records.

device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating
the device.
b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, fi eld strengths should be less
than 3 V/m.
