Important Hints and Warnings – Read carefully !

 Contact your doctor for further questions on the subject of blood pressure and its
measurement. In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this instrument
should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor. Self-measurement means
control, not diagnosis or treatment, but only a healthcare professional is qualified to
interpret blood pressure measurements. Unusual values must always be discussed with
your doctor. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed
by your doctor. Familiarize yourself with the section titled "Important Information on Bl ood
Pressure and its Measurement". It contains important information on the dynamics of blood
pressure readings and will help you to obtain the best results.

Note: Arm circumference should be measured with a measuring tape in the middle of the
relaxed upper arm. Do not force cuff connection into the open wound.

 This device can not be used together with HF-surgical equipment.
 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers, and the

device shall not be serviced or maintained while in use with the patient. This device is NOT
intended to replace regular medical checkups. In cases of irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia),
measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with
your doctor. Blood pressure readings obtained by this device should be verified before
prescribing or making adjustments to any medications used to control hypertension. Under
no circumstances should YOU alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.
 Use of this instrument on patients under dialysis therapy or on anticoagulant,
antiplatelets, or steroids could cause internal bleeding. The patient is an intended operator,
the functions of monitoring blood pressure and pulse rate can be safely used by patient.
The routine clean can be performed by the patient.

 Not suitable for neonatal, infants or pregnant patient.
 Neither repair this device by yourself, nor modificate it.
 This device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or

electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. microwave ovens) during use.
These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy or erratic results. To
obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument, it is recommended that
the instrument be used within the specified temperature and the relative humidity, see the
Technical Specifications. The device is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable
anesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

 Turn off the power if the device is not likely to be used for some time.
 To avoid any possibility of accidental strangulation, keep this unit away from children and

do not drape tubing around your neck. Moreover to avoid damaging the device, keep this
unit away from children and pets.
 This device is intended for use by adults only. The standard material used for the bladder
and the cuff are latex-free. Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the PATIENT
due to blood flow interference. Do not place the cuff over wound part. Pressurization of the
cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used monitoring ME
EQUIPMENT on the same limb.

1. Important Information on Blood Pressure and its Measurement

1.1. How does high or low blood pressure arise?

 Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and
adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood
pressure, the strength and speed of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory
blood vessels is altered.Blood vessel width is controlled by fine muscles in the blood vessel
walls.  Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity:
During the “blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At
the end of the heart’s “rest period” (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure
value). Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent
particular diseases.

1.2. Which values are normal?

Diastolic / Systolic blood presure
Optimal blood presure (target value)
Norma / High blood pressure
Mild / Moderate / Severe hypertension

Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or your
systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this case, please consult your
physician immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to continual
damage to the blood vessels in your body. If your systolic blood pressure values are
between 140 mmHg and 159mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure values between 90
mmHg and 99mmHg, consult your physician. Regular self-checks are necessary. If you
have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic values under 105mmHg and/or
diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician. Even with normal blood pressure
values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is recommended. You can
detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record of
values along with time of day and date. Show these values to your physician. Never use the
results of your measurements to independently alter the drug doses prescribed by your
physician.

Further information: If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but
exceptionally high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that
you are suffering from so-called “labile hypertension”. Consult your doctor! Correctly
measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate medical
treatment.

1.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?

a) Consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with

considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endangered due
to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply
of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result from arteriosclerosis.
Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood pressure
values.
c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between the
common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter group
can be ascribed to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information
about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood
pressure.

2. Battery power checking

The battery is a built-in chargeable lithium ion battery. Press the “Power ON/OFF” button. If
the “Battery Indicator” becomes RED, the battery power is low and the battery need to be
recharged. The power supply should be DC 5/1A. Rechage the device with the charging
cable* (*included). When the “Battery Indicator” becomes GREEN, the battery is fully
recharged. Then the device can be used normally. If the battery is not fully recharged, the
indicator flashes in RED.

You may also operate this device by using the AC adapter** (**not included), output 5V
DC/1A with Micro USB plug. Use only the approved brand AC adapter to avoid damaging
the unit. First ensure that the AC adapter and cable are not damaged. Then plug the
adapter cable into the AC adapter port on the right side of the blood pressure monitor. After
that plug the adapter into your electrical outlet. When the AC adapter is connected, no
battery current is consumed. (e.g. by accidental removal of the AC adapter from the outlet,
the monitor must be reset by removing the plug from the socket and reinserting the AC
adapter connection).

Assessment indicator: The indicator is set around the Start/Stop button. After
measurement, the indicator will turn into different colors according to the assessment.
BLUE means normal, YELLOW means mild high blood pressure and RED means high
blood pressure.
