dear customer,

we are glad that you have decided for this blood pressure monitor. The product you have bought is
state of the art, of highest quality and has many advanced features. The device measures the upper arm
blood pressure both rapidly and extremely accurately, and avoids the need to constrict the blood supply to
the arm for long periods. The device is ideal for regular blood pressure checking. Because the device has a
memory, which can store 60 values, you can easily track changes and notify your doctor in good time if
problems are detected. The unit is determined for household use and should be used by adult persons
only.

important notes !

Please read this Instruction Manual carefully to know your blood pressure monitor. Then the monitor
will give you many years of smooth service and supply measuring data of high accuracy. Only your
physician can interpret your blood pressure values. If you suffer from cardiac arrhythmia, always discuss
the blood pressure values with your doctor. If you have questions about blood pressure for which you
do not find an answer in this booklet, also consult your doctor.

The right to technical modifications is reserved.

preliminary remarks 2

the“Real Fuzzy” measuring technology

This Blood Pressure Monitor uses trends-setting “Real Fuzzy“ Technology to detect your blood pressure.
With one touche of a button, the device will automatically start to inflate. If the pressure in the sleeve is
too low, the device will interrupt the measuring process and pump the sleeve higher until a suitable
pressure is reached. The ideal sleeve pressure is obtained from the systolic blood pressure and the size of
the arm. Arm pains are thus eliminated and incorrect readings due to a wrongly inflated sleeve are
prevented.

More than half the number of people suffering from high blood pressure are unaware of it. The
most common cause of death in today's society is from diseases that are directly related to the
problem of high blood pressure. This Blood Pressure Monitor allows you to measure your blood
pressure at home. If your blood pressure is off limits, the monitor helps you to keep it under
constant watch. Remember only your physician can interpret your blood pressure values. Never
venture self-diagnosis or self-treatment. The blood pressure is the measure of the force which the
heart needs to pump the blood through the circulatory system and supply the vital organs of our
body. The higher the pressure, the harder the heart must work.

3.1 blood pressure values

Typical normal blood pressure as recommended:

systolic blood pressure diastolic blood pressure
hypotension less than 105 mmHg less than 60 mmHg
normalless less than 140 mmHg less than 90 mmHg
borderline 140 - 160 mmHg 90 - 95 mmHg
hypertension more than 160 mmHg over 95 mmHg

If the blood transport system is inot functioning normally, the blood pressure can be higher than
normal. High blood pressure can damage vital organs, such as the heart, the brain or muscles.

about blood pressure 3

Remember that only the physician can interpret your blood pressure values. Never venture self­diagnosis or self-treatment. We recommend you to discuss your blood pressure values with your
physician. He can advise you on any measures that may be good to take.

The blood pressure is
changing constantly. You
should not be frustrated by
two or three bad readings,
and don’t fly into high spirits
if a few readings are good.
The blood pressure changes
during the day as during the
month. It is also influenced by
the time of year and the
temperature. Monitor your
blood pressure regularly and
keep a full record of all
readings. This allows you to
make a competent judgment.
