FEATURES

We would like to thank you for having purchased a precision GIMA sphygmomanometer.
All GIMA sphygmomanometers are manufactured with high quality materials and, when maintained
at perfect operating efficiency through regular calibration checks, ensure complete reliability
and precision, even after several years of use.
Our line of sphygmomanometers offers the same quality standards for both professional and
home models.
The sphygmomanometer you have purchased complies with EEC directive 93/42/CEE.

PRESCRIPTIONS

ENGLISH

It must be noted that self-measuring instruments are not a substitute for regular
medical checkups, and that only your doctor can accurately analyze these
measurements.

Arterial pressure is highly influenced by one’s nervous tension and physical fatigue. It is therefore
recommended that you perform the measurement under conditions of both physical and
mental relaxation, while in a sitting or supine position and, where possible, always at the same
time of day, far from meal times.
Remember: do not move while measuring your pressure and do not wear clothing that
covers your arm and could limit blood circulation.
Pressure varies during the day: it is lower in the morning and higher in the evening; it is also
lower in the summer and higher in the winter.

INSTALLATION

After opening the packages, first of all it is necessary to check all pieces and parts composing
the product. Check that they are all present and in perfect conditions.
Apply the armband to your bare left arm, 2-3 cm. above your elbow joint, and then prop up your
forearm, keeping it at heart level.
Velcro armband: Close the armband using the Velcro strap.

If not specifically indicated, all GIMA sphygmomanometers are equipped with armbands
for adults; upon request, we can provide armbands for the obese, for use on the thigh
and for children, ranging from premature babies up to 14-year-olds.

Position the earpiece of the stethoscope (preferably our DUCA model) on the artery, under your arm.

FUNCTIONING

1) After applying the armband, use the bulb to pump up to approximately 20 mmHg beyond the

level of individual systolic pressure: in other words, until the brachial artery is blocked (maximum
level). It is essential that the person being measured remains seated and calm, and that his/her

forearm is resting at heart level, with the inside part facing up.

2) To measure blood pressure, turn the release/deflation screw on the bulb, unscrewing it slowly

in a counter-clockwise direction. The ideal deflation speed is around 2-3 mmHg/sec.
Visually check deflation speed: on the scale, the indicator must move at a speed of between 1
and 1.5 gradations per second.
The models featuring automatic deflation of the gauge, which automatically regulates deflation
speed at 2-3 mmHg/sec. Simply press the valve up to the first pressure point.

3) Due to the gradual decompression, your blood starts to run through the brachial artery again,
which in turn causes an initial pulsation, that is clearly perceived by the phonendoscope: the

pressure indicated on the gauge needle at the exact moment this first beat is recorded is referred
to as the “systolic or maximum pressure”.
Systole = maximum pressure level when the heart contracts and blood is pushed into the blood
vessels.
As you proceed with decompression, the pulsations gradually decrease until they suddenly
disappear or become so low as to be imperceptible.
The pressure indicated by the gauge needle at the moment the pulsations disappear is referred
to as the “diastolic or minimum pressure”.
Diastole: minimum blood pressure level when the heart muscle is expanding and refilling with
blood.

4) Now completely open the release valve until air begins to come out of the armband. Blood
pressure measurement is now completed.

MAINTENANCE

1. Gauge and bulb
Cleaning: The gauge and bulb can be wiped with a damp cloth. Sterilization is not necessary,

as the parts do not come into direct contact with the patient’s body.

2. Armbands
Cleaning: After removing the plenum chamber, the liners can be wiped with a damp cloth, or

you can wash them with soap and cold water. If you use this second method, rinse the armbands
with clean water and leave them to air dry. Nylon armbands must not be ironed.
The plenum chamber and tubes can be wiped with a damp cotton cloth.
