1. Getting to know your device
Check that the packaging of the Sanitas SBC 26 blood
pressure monitor has not been tampered with and make
sure that all the required contents are present.
The wrist blood pressure monitor is used to carry out
non-invasive measurement and monitoring of arterial
blood pressure values in human adults. This allows you
to quickly and easily measure your blood pressure, save
the measurements and display the development of the
measurements. You are also warned of possible existing
cardiac arrhythmia.
The recorded values are classified and evaluated graphically.

Notes on use
•
In order to ensure comparable values, always measure
your blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
•
If you want to perform several measurements on the
same person, wait five minutes between each measurement.
•
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eat-
ing, drinking, smoking or exercising.
•
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
measured value.
•
The measured values taken by you are for your infor-
mation only – they are no substitute for a medical
examination. Discuss the measured values with your
doctor and never base any medical decisions on them
(e.g. medicines and their administration).
•
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns,
pregnant women or patients with pre-eclampsia.
•
In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a
result of chronic or acute vascular diseases (including
vascular constriction), the accuracy of the wrist meas-
3
urement is limited. In this case you should avoid using
an upper arm blood pressure monitor.
•
This device is not intended for use by people (includ-
ing children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental
skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who has
responsibility for their safety or they receive instructions from this person on how to use the device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they do
not play with it.
•
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect meas-
urements or have a detrimental effect on measurement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood
pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
•
The blood pressure monitor must not be used in con-
nection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
•
Only use the device on people who have the specified
wrist measurement for the device.
•
Please note that when inflating, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
•
During the blood pressure measurement, the blood
circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time. If the device malfunctions remove the cuff
from the arm.
•
Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood
flow may cause injury.
•
Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in
which the arteries or veins are undergoing medical
treatment, e.g. intravascular access or intravascular or
therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
•
Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
•
Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
•
Place the cu on your wrist only. Do not place the cu
on other parts of the body.
•
The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
•
To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any buttons for one minute.

5. Measuring blood pressure
Attach the cuff
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm,
which may mean that the measured blood pressure values are different. Always perform the measurement on
the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different, please consult your doctor to determine which
arm should be used for the measurement.

•
Expose your left wrist. Ensure that the circulation of
the arm is not hindered by tight clothing or similar.
Place the cuff on the inside of your wrist.
•
Close the cuff with the hook-and-loop fastener so that
the upper edge of the device is positioned approx. 1
cm underneath the heel of the hand.
•
The cuff must be fitted tightly around the wrist, but
must not constrict.

Before every measurement, relax for about five min-
utes. Otherwise deviations can occur.
•
You can take the measurement while sitting or lying
down. To take your blood pressure, make sure you are sitting
comfortably with your arms and
back leaning on something. Do
not cross your legs. Place your
• • • • • • • • • • • • •
feet flat on the ground. Make sure
to rest your arm and move it. Always make sure that
the cuff is at heart level. Otherwise significant deviations can occur. Relax your arm and the palm of your
hand.

Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruptions of the heart
rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this
after the measurement with the symbol
.
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an
illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of
flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats,
pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors
such as heart disease, age, physical make-up, excess
stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only
be determined through an examination by your doctor.
If the symbol is shown on the display after the
measurement has been taken, repeat the measurement.
Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand
and do not speak or move during the measurement.
If the symbol appears frequently, please consult
your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treatment based on the
measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your
GP’s instructions.
Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in dierent people and dierent age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice.
Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal
blood pressure as well as the value above which your
blood pressure is classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the unit
show which category the recorded blood pressure values
fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two
dierent categories (e.g. systole in the 'High normal' category and diastole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical
classification on the device always shows the higher category; for the example given this would be 'High normal'.
