Important information Advice 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. •...

Important information • Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may cause injury. • Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
Important information Advice on batteries • Please use 4 x AAA batteries supplied • Remove the batteries if the device is not in use for long periods of time • Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries •...

USB Interface The blood pressure monitor also allows you to transfer your measured values to a PC. To do this, you need a regular USB cable (included) and the HealthManager PC software. The software can be downloaded free of charge from the download area under Service at www.beurer.com System requirements for the Beurer HealthManager PC software 1.
Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor 1. Inserting the batteries • Remove the battery compartment lid on the rear of the device. • Insert four 1.5 V AAA (alkaline type LR03) batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted the correct way round observing the correct polarity. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor 2. Setting the date and time If you press and hold the M1 or M2 memory button, you can set the values more quickly. Setting the hour format, date and time. This menu allows you to set the following functions, one after another.

How to use your Blood Pressure Monitor Measuring blood pressure Your first test We recommend that for your first test you test both arms. This will determine which arm should be used for future measurements. Take note of your systolic (higher number) reading on both arms. The arm that gives you the higher systolic reading should be used for future testing.

How to use your Blood Pressure Monitor • Then insert the mains plug into the mains socket. • After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug the mains, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and time setting but the saved measurements are retained.
Important: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 24 to 36 cm. A larger cuff for upper-arm circumferences of 35 to 44 cm can be obtained from www.lloydspharmacy.com Correct posture •...

Evaluating Your Results Cardiac arrhythmia: This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates the measurement with the flashing icon This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.

Evaluating Your Results 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 different WHO categories (e.g. systole in the ‘High normal’ category and diastole in the ‘Normal’...

Evaluating your Results GREEN: Haemodynamic stability Measurement of the systolic and diastolic pressure is increased when the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest and is a very reliable indicator of resting blood pressure. However, if there is an indication that the circulatory system is not sufficiently at rest (haemodynamic instability), the symbol lights up red.
Displaying and Deleting Measurements The accuracy of the resting blood pressure results is reduced in these users. Like any medical measurement method, the precision of the HSD diagnosis is limited and can lead to incorrect results in some cases. The blood pressure measurements taken when the circulatory system was at rest represent particularly reliable results.
Displaying and Deleting Measurements • When the relevant memory button (M1 or M2) is pressed again, the last individual measurement is displayed (in this example, measurement 03). • When the relevant memory button (M1 or M2) is pressed again, you can view your individual measurements. •...
Transferring Measurements USB interface Connect the blood pressure monitor to your PC using the USB cable. No data transfer may be launched whilst performing a measurement. PC is shown on the display. Begin the data transfer in the “HealthManager” PC software. During the data transfer, an animation is shown on the display.
Cleaning your Blood Pressure Monitor • Clean your device and cuff carefully only with a slightly moistened cloth. • The frequency of cleaning depends on the contamination level of the device. • Clean the blood pressure device and cuff as soon as any dirt appears on the device. •...
