User manual MEDION BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT DEVICE MD 10544

[. . . ] Batteries may endanger life if swallowed. For these reasons, keep the unit out of reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, please obtain immediate medical assistance. · Do not use rechargeable batteries, as this could lead to incorrect measurements due to the lower power of these batteries. [. . . ] If the sleeve is not firmly attached the pressure will increase and the wrist will become numb. Correct measurement is then no longer possible. 2) 3) 4) If the sleeve cannot be attached to your left arm and if it is not possible to measure your left arm, use your right one. D. 9 CORRECT MEASUREMENT · Place your elbow on the table or other supporting surface, and hold your arm so that the wrist sleeve is at heart height. In doing so, support your lower arm on the storage box or on a folded towel or similar. · To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. · Always measure your blood pressure at the same time each day!It is important to measure your blood pressure at home and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure, which can change over the course of a day, is recorded properly. · Inform your doctor of the values measured so that he can give you medical advice. · Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that measured at the upper arm. The values may be slightly different because of the different measurement positions and the strength of the blood vessels in the wrist and upper arm. In many cases, the difference for healthy people can be ±10 mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Attention is advised for the following types of person: People with high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease, hardened arteries, poor circulation. 10 CARRYING OUT MEASUREMENTS 1. 2) Attach the wrist sleeve to your wrist as described above. All indicators are displayed for a few seconds on the screen; then the screen shows the time and the most recently selected memory space. Measurement starts automatically; the device pumps up the sleeve. If the sleeve pressure is too low the device pauses and pumps up the sleeve again until it reaches a sleeve pressure that is appropriate for the measurement. The measuring process starts when the correct sleeve pressure has been reached. During measurement do not move the sleeve or your arm or hand muscles. The value displayed will fall during measurement. 3) If you want to stop the measurement, press the ON/OFF button. If you want to repeat a measurement you should wait at least five minutes. The air must be completely removed from the sleeve. 4) The sleeve deflates when the measurement is complete. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse with the pulse icon appear in the display. The MEM entry flashes for a few seconds (see next page). Press the ON/OFF button again to switch off the device. 11 SAVING VALUES The device has two memory areas and . Up to 50 measurements can be saved in each area. [. . . ] NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply to all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the MD 10544 should be observed to verify normal operation. [. . . ]
