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 efciency 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

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 inuenced by one’s nervous tension and physical fatigue. It is therefore recom­mended that you perform the measurement under conditions of both physical and mental relaxa-
tion, 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, rst 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 on the artery, under your arm.

The handle is normally oriented on the left side of the bulb (to use with right hand). Sliding out the handle
it is possible to re-position it on the right side (for use with left hand) or the center, suitable for both cases.

FUNCTIONING

1) After applying the armband, use the bulb to pump up to approximately 30 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 screw on the bulb by unscrewing it slowly in a counter
clockwise direction. The ideal deation speed is around 2-3 mmHg/sec.

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 rst 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 ves-

sels.

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 relling with blood.

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

By pressing the button under the gauge, the air contained in the armband is released quickly.

SPECIFICATIONS

Measuring range: 0-300mmHg
Precision: ±3 mmHg
Scale graduation: 2 mmHg

MAINTENANCE

With proper care and maintenance, your blood pressure kit will provide years of satisfactory service. The
basic rules:

• Do not drop or jar.

• Never inate beyond 300mmHg.

• Never expose the cuffs to intensive solar radiation!

• Never touch the cuff fabric or parts with a sharp instrument, since this could cause damage!

• Always deate cuff completely before storage

• Do not dismantle manometer under any circumstance.

• Store complete instrument in storage case provided, to keep the chestpiece and all the other parts

clean

• Storage temperature condition: -20 °C to 70 at a relative air humidity of 85% (non-condensing).

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.
