[. . . ] it is also influenced by eating , smoking , stress and bodily exertion. High blood pressure is not normally noticeable immediately by the occurrence of particular complaints. If, though, it goes unnoticed or untreated, it can lead to serious health problems. For this reason, regular blood pressure measurements as well as diagnosis and treatment by a doctor are so important. [. . . ] One-off or irregular measurements are therefore of little value when trying to assess the actual blood pressure. An interval of at least two minutes should be observed, before repeating a measurement. Inserting the batteries How to wear the unit Wrap the cuff of the unit around your unclothed wrist. Please make sure, the display is positioned at your inner wrist (see picture). If the blood pressure is higher on the right wrist, the measurement should be taken on the right wrist. When relaxed, place your elbow on the table with the forearm raised so that your wrist is at the same height as your heart. Only use batteries of the given specifications and follow the polarisation markings in the battery compartment. Never mix old with new batteries, or batteries of different manufacture. Note on cuff size: The unit must only be used in combination with the CW 42 cuff (wrist circumference 13. Measuring your blood pressure The unit inflates the cuff to a pressure of about 180 mmHg. In case this pressure is not sufficient, the unit inflates the cuff by a further 50 mmHg. Once inflated, the pump is switched off and the air in the cuff escapes automatically. If not already the case, you should now keep your arm completely still and not speak. As soon as the unit registers the first beats, the symbol blinks in time with the pulse rhythm and the falling pressure in the cuff is displayed. After the measurement; the built-in solenoid valve opens automatically to rapidly release the remaining pressure in the cuff. When the memory store is full (30 18 If symbol appears following a completed measurement, it is recommended that the measurement is repeated while holding the arm motionless (see also page 21). A renewed display of symbol following the repeat measurement with the arm being held motionless, can be an indication of irregular heart beat. Aborting a measurement A measurement can be aborted at any time by pressing the START button. In case of error, you can always remove the unit at any time by simply opening the cuff. Record the measured values into the record card that accompanies your unit as follows: Enter each individual reading. [. . . ] Never use thinners, petroleum spirit or other aggressive cleaning agents. Used batteries and defective electronic devices do not belong into the household waste. A) Functional testing Functional testing of the unit can only be performed on human subjects or using a suitable simulator. B) Leak testing of the pressure circuit and error testing of the display Please note: a) Prior to testing, separate the cuff from the unit (after having first removed the screws in the battery compartment).
