Braun upper arm blood pressure monitor has been developed for accurate and comfortable blood pressure measurements. The measuring accuracy of Braun’s upper arm blood pressure monitor was tested at the time of manufacture and the measurement algorithm was proven by clinical research in accordance with AAMI/ANSI-SP10.

What you should know about blood pressure

Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and nally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can uctuate.

Blood pressure readings taken from a healthy 31-year -old male, measured at 5-minute intervals

Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reect one’s actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions.

Moreover, many people have a dierent blood pressure when they measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s oce. Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual «everyday» conditions.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse.

Blood Pressure Normal Mild Severe (mmHg) Values Hypertension Hypertension

SYS = systole up to 140 140-180 over 180 (upper value)

DIA = diastole up to 90 90-110 over 110 (lower value)

Intended Use

• This monitor is intended for use in measuring the blood pressure and pulse rate of adults and uses the oscillometric method.

• This product is intended for household use only.

Warnings & Precautions

• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read the complete use instructions.

• Keep product and batteries away from children.

• People suering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.

• If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor rst.

• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.

Inserting Batteries

• Remove the battery compartment cover at the bottom of the unit and insert 4 AA LR6 ALKALINE batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in the battery compartment).

• Note: Always re-set Date and Time after replacing new batteries to make sure the measurement results are stored with correct date and time.

• Only discard empty batteries. They should not be disposed of in the household waste, but at appropriate collection sites or at your retailer.

Key Rules for Accurate Blood Pressure Measurement

• Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning

and evening, under the same conditions.

• Please rest for at least 5~10 minutes before taking the measurement.

• Do not measure within 30 minutes after exercising, bathing, eating, smoking or consuming coee, tea or alcohol.

• To allow your blood vessels to return to the condition prior to taking the measurement, please wait at least 3~5 minutes between measurements. You may need to adjust the wait time according to your personal physiological situation.

• Take o wrist watch and jewelry before tting the cu on the measuring arm.

• Do not use a cellular phone near the unit.

• While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, and do not move or speak.

• Wrap the cu snugly around your arm. The cu must be at heart level.

• Do not vibrate the unit during measurement, or the proper measurement will not be achieved.

• Perform measurement quietly in a relaxed position.

• Sit in a chair with your feet at on the oor.
