Select memory
You have two memories (50 memory spaces each) in order to
save the test results of 2 different people separately, or else
save measurements in the morning and evening separately.
Select the required memory space by pressing the user selec-
tion button .
Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the posi-
tion in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Press the user selection button
zone, and press the key 2x to start measurement in the
chosen memory zone. After checking the display with all dig-
its lighting up, the monitor will automatically inflate. Following
the self-test, during which all display elements briefly appear,
the measurement begins. During inflation the device already
determines measured values used to estimate the required
inflation pressure. If this pressure is insufficient, the device
automatically inflates by another 40 mmHg (Real Fuzzy Logic).
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured.
• When the measurement has been completed, the remaining
air pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the systolic
and the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
• The device requires approx. 5 seconds to store the deter-
mined measured value.
• You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button .
• To switch off and release the pressure, press the ON/OFF
button again. If you forget to switch off the device, it
switches off automatically after approx. 1 minute.

Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disor-
ders during measurement and if necessary indicates the meas-
urement with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-
tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects
in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The symp-
toms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or excessively
fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things, by heart
disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use of stimu-
lants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascertained
through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon
the measurement. Please note that you should rest for 5 minutes
between measurements and not talk or move during the meas-
urement. If the icon appears often, please contact your doc-
tor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based on the test results
may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor's instructions.
Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accord-
ance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide-
line, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people
and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your
doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pres-
