Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fluctuate. SYS mm HG 140 120 100 60 6 5 h 12 18 0 80DIA mm HG Blood pressure readings from a healthy 31 year old male, measured at 5 minute intervals Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions. Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor's office. 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 Normal Mild Severe pressure (mmHg) values hypertension hypertension SYS = Systole = upper value DIA = Diastole = lower value up to 1up to 40 90 140 – 180 90 – 110 over 180 over 110 20 cm 20 cm What you should know about this blood pressure monitor For accurate measurements, all wrist blood pressure monitors must be positioned at heart level. Example: If the monitor is positioned 20 cm below heart level as shown on the left (e.g. by putting the arm on a table), the reading you will obtain is approximately 15 mmHg too high. Therefore, the Braun SensorControl has a unique positioning system: The position sensor icon (A) on the display guides you to hold your measuring arm in the right position at heart level. Additionally, your blood pressure monitor offers the following benefits: • Easy handling due to large buttons and the large display. • Automatic storage of the last 60 readings consisting of blood pressure values, pulse, date and time of measurement. • Comfort cuff. • To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read these instructions. • This product is intended for household use only. Keep product and batteries away from children. • People suffering 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. • Please consult your doctor in case of any doubt, especially if you are under medical treatment or receiving medication. • The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor. Product description A Position sensor icon B Memory button («mem») C «I/O» (on/off) button D «Select» button E Battery compartment F Battery compartment cover G Cuff Inserting batteries • Use alkaline batteries, type LR 03 (AAA) (e.g. Duracell Ultra) as supplied with this product or rechargeable batteries. • Remove the battery compartment cover (F) and insert two batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in the battery compartment (E)). • New batteries (Duracell Ultra) will provide approximately 300 measurements. • Only discard empty batteries. They should not be disposed of in the household waste, but at appropriate collection sites or at your dealer. Use of rechargeable batteries In case rechargeable batteries are used, please note that the «battery low» symbol may appear earlier on the display than with alkaline batteries. However, this will not affect the measuring accuracy. Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurements • Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under the same conditions. • Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking, coffee or tea consumption. • Take off wrist watch and jewellery before fitting the appliance on the measuring arm. • While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, especially the hand of the measuring arm, do not move or speak. • Hold the appliance at heart level. • Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement. Measuring For a reliable blood pressure measurement, make sure that you hold the appliance at heart level. The position sensor icon (A) will guide you to hold your arm in the right position at heart level. 1. Fasten the appliance on the slim side of your bare forearm. Make sure that the cuff fits tight. 2. Press the red «I/O» (on/off) button (C). 3. Put the hand with the appliance on the other upper arm as shown. Slowly move the hand upward along the upper arm. Watch the position sensor icon and move your hand up or down according to the direction of the arrow(s) shown. 4. The position sensor icon shown on the left and a beep confirm that you have reached the right measuring position. The measurement will start automatically. When the measurement is complete, a beep will sound again, and the reading is displayed. Upper (systolic) value Lower (diastolic) value Pulse Please note: 15 seconds after switching on t...
