[. . . ] 3 INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CE SYMBOL This device complies with the European regulations based on the Medical Products Code, and bears the CE mark "CE0123". The device has been quality inspected according to EG guideline 93/42/EWG and tested in compliance to the EN1060-1 Non-invasive sphygmomanometers-Part 1, General requirements and EN1060-3 Non-invasive sphygmomanometers-Part 3: Supplementary requirements for electromechanical blood pressure measuring systems. It is therefore not subject to calibration regulations and does not bear a calibration stamp. The CE mark further indicates that this blood pressure monitor meets the general requirements for electronic products as regards resistance to electromagnetic interference. [. . . ] The Oscillometric Measuring Method is a good means to determine the systolic / diastolic / mean blood pressure based on the measurement of pressure oscillation during the cuff pressure deflation phase. 7 GB GB MEASUREMENT With the individual in a sitting position and with the cuff attached as previously mentioned, a blood pressure reading can be obtained. Note: - For accurate pressure measurement, take blood-pressure readings in a seated position. Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken. - Ensure that the lower arm is raised so that the upper edge of the cuff is on the same level as the heart. - Ideally, place the palm of the hand facing upwards. + + - - In order to ensure a proper measurement, sit quietly and avoid talking and moving the fingers and hand. Rapid movements or other activities may alter blood pressure readings. At any time, to stop the pressurizing process, press the " "Button; the cuff will stop inflating and air will exhaust from the unit. 8 HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENT Refer to Fig1 Fig1 2sec Fig1 9 GB GB Note: 1. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up and the cuff should be wrapped on bare skin for correct measurements. Apply cuff to left wrist with palm facing up. Make sure the edge of the cuff is about 1 cm from the plam. In order to ensure accurate measurements, fasten the velcro strap securely around your wrist so there is no extra space between the cuff and the wrist. If the cuff is not wrapped tight enough, the measurement values will be inaccurate. Press the " " Button, to start the measurement process. To interrupt the measurement, simply press button. The cuff will deflate immediatey after the button is pressed. Do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles. This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system detects that your body needs higher pressure to measure your blood pressure. Each reading will be saved to the memory automatically after each measurement. Up to 30 measurements can be stored to the memory. 2sec HOW TO RECALL VALUES FROM MEMORY Refer to Fig2 Fig 2 Note: a. The latest measurement will be shown first.
