The following parts are included:

• 1 MEDISANA Blood pressure monitor MTX
• 1 Preformed sleeve with air pipe
• 4 Batteries (AA type, LR 6) 1,5V
- 1 Storage bag
• 1 Blood pressure certificate
• 1 Instruction manual

WARNING

Please ensure that the polythene packing is kept away from the reach of children! Risk of suffocation!

2.2 What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat. When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and is the first value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic pressure.

2.3 How is blood pressure measured?

The MTX is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at the upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation and deflation of the cuff over the artery.

2.4 Why should you take your blood pressure at home?

MEDISANA has had many years of experience in the field of blood pressure measurement. The high precision of MEDISANA devices has been confirmed by extensive clinical tests, carried out according to strict international standards. One strong argument in favour of taking blood pressure at home is the fact that the readings are taken in familiar surroundings under relaxed conditions. The most important reading is the so-called „baseline value“, the

one taken before breakfast, directly after getting up in the morning. As far as it is possible, you should always try to take your blood pressure at the same time and under the same conditions each day.

This ensures comparable results and helps in detecting the first signs of high blood pressure. If high blood pressure remains undetected, it increases the risk of further cardiovascular diseases.

THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND:

Take a blood pressure reading daily and on a regular basis, even if you are experiencing no apparent complaints.

2.5

WARNING

Blood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may lead to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in traffic)!

2.6 Fluctuations in blood pressure

There are many factors that can influence blood pressure. Readings can be affected seriously by stress, fear, heavy physical exertion or the time of day at which the measurements are taken. Your personal blood pressure values are subject to considerable fluctuation during the course of the day and the year. These fluctuations are particularly pronounced in the case of patients suffering from hypertension. Blood pressure is usually at its highest during physical exertion and at its lowest at night when you are asleep.

2.7 Influencing and evaluating readings

• Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading.
• Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is also familiar with your personal medical history. When using the unit regularly and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit the doctor from time to time to keep him updated.
• When taking readings, remember that the daily values are influenced by several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physical exertion influence the measured values in various ways.
  • Measure your blood pressure before meals.
• Before taking readings, allow yourself at least five minutes rest.
• If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low) on several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor. This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse prevents you from taking readings.

3 Getting Started

3.1 Inserting / removing batteries

Insertion: Open the battery compartment on the underside of the unit by exerting gentle pressure in the direction indicated by the arrow, and insert the four batteries included with the unit (alkaline batteries, AA type, LR 6). Remember to insert the batteries as indicated in the diagram in the battery compartment. Once the batteries are inserted correctly (or once the power unit is plugged in), you should hear 2 beeps.

When the ON/OFF switch is activated ⑦, you will hear 2 beeps and all the symbols appear on the display for one second. Then the following appears: " - : - - ". Replace the lid, pressing it until it snaps into place.

Removal:

If the voltage in the batteries drops below 5 - 4.5 V, the display shows the battery symbol ☐ 19. Switch the device off using the ON/OFF switch ⑦ and insert new batteries. Should the used batteries be jammed in the compartment, use a pointed instrument, such as a ballpoint pen, to carefully prise them out.

As soon as the voltage in the batteries drops below 4.25 - 0.25 V, the display shows the battery symbol ☐ 19. The device automatically switches off immediately after this symbol appears. The device will not function until new batteries are inserted.

Note that you have to reset the date and time each time you replace the batteries, unless this is set automatically via the radio clock when the device is switched on using the ON/OFF switch ⑦. The previous measuring results are saved.

WARNING

With the MTX, you can choose between two measuring modes.

• Single reading
• 3 consecutive readings (Measurement Average Mode = 3/MAM-mode)

In the case of a single reading, just one blood pressure reading is taken and stored.

The 3/MAM-mode is to be recommended if you suffer from severely fluctuating blood pressure. 3 successive readings are taken at 15 second intervals, thus eliminating widely varying readings. In the case of serious deviations, a 4th reading may be taken.

From these three measurements, a weighted average value is calculated, displayed and stored in the selected memory. A reading taken in this way is indicated in the memory by an 21 .

The 3/MAM procedure greatly minimizes the risk of an incorrect reading.

1. To switch between single measurement and 3 consecutive measurements (3MAM procedure), press and hold the TIMER button ⑧ until the symbol for 3MAM mode and " " appear flashing in the display.

2. Press the MEMO button ④ to select either "Or"; "OFF On for the 3MAM measuring method and "Off for single measurement.

4.2 Correct position for taking readings

• Take readings while in a seated position.
- Relax your arm and rest it lightly on a surface such as a table. Relax during the measuring process: do not move or talk, as this can affect the results.

4.3 Taking blood pressure readings

Single reading

To take a single measurement, you have to switch on the device using the ON/OFF switch ⑦ and be in standby mode. You first have to complete any settings you require as per section 3, subsections 3.3, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.

1. Press the START button ③. The device carries out a self test. Once this is complete, “0” appears on the display. 5 short beeps sound during the procedure.

2. Next, the sleeve ① automatically inflates until the pressure required for a measurement has been reached. Alternatively, you can create this pressure manually by pressing and holding the START button ③ after the device has automatically reached a pressure of at least 30 mmHg. When you think that the device has reached the ideal starting pressure for a measurement, release the START button ③. The increasing pressure is displayed numerically.

3. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by releasing the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the current pressure in the cuff.

NOTE

If you press the START button ③ when the device is inflating, the inflation process stops. The device switches off and the air escapes from the sleeve.

1. Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. The pulse symbol ♥ 16 appears on the display. As soon as the pulse can be determined, deflation is synchronised with the beating of the heart until the measurement ends. The device beeps for each heartbeat during this procedure, if you did not switch off the beep function beforehand. At the same time, the pulse symbol ♥ 16 flashes.
2. Once the measurement has been taken, the sleeve suddenly deflates and a longer beep sounds.
3. The measured values 13, 14 and 15 are shown on the display, together with the WHO blood pressure bar display 23. At the same time, a longer beep sounds.
4. If the unit detects an arrhythmia during the measuring process, the arrhythmia symbol ⏻ 18 will flash eight times while the reading is displayed. You may also hear 8 short beeps; these warn the user of an irregular heartbeat.
5. If you do not press any buttons for approx. 1 minute, the device automatically switches to standby mode.

3MAM measuring method

(3 consecutive measurements to calculate an average value)

To take a single measurement, you have to switch on the device using the ON/OFFswitch ⑦ and be in standby mode. You have selected the 3MAM measuring method (see section 3, subsection 3.6). You first have to complete any settings you require as per section 3, subsections 3.3, 3.5 and 3.7.

1. Press the START button ③. The device carries out a self test. Once this is complete, "0" appears on the display. 5 short beeps sound during the procedure.

On the display, you can see ☐ 21 (average) and "1" for the first measurement.

1. Next, the sleeve ① automatically inflates until the pressure required for a measurement has been reached. Alternatively, you can create this pressure manually by pressing and holding the START button ③ after the device has automatically reached a pressure of at least 30 mmHg. When you think that the device has reached the ideal starting pressure for a measurement, release the START button ③. The increasing pressure is displayed numerically.
2. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by releasing the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the current pressure in the cuff.
3. Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. The pulse symbol ♥ 16 appears on the display. As soon as the pulse can be determined, deflation is synchronised with the beating of the heart until the measurement ends. The device beeps for each heartbeat during this procedure, if you did not switch off the beep function beforehand. At the same time, the pulse symbol ♥ 16 flashes.
4. The first measurement ends when the pressure has been completely discharged from the sleeve during a 15 second countdown. The countdown symbol 22 flashes during this process. Beeps sound during the last 5 seconds.
5. Instead of "1", the display now shows "2" for the second measurement. The second measurement proceeds in the same way as the first (see points 2 - 5).
6. Instead of "2", the display now shows "3" for the third measurement. The third measurement proceeds in the same way as the first (see points 2 - 4).
7. Once the 3MAM measurement has been taken, the sleeve suddenly deflates and a longer beep sounds.
8. The measured values 13, 14 and 15 are shown on the display, together with the WHO blood pressure bar display 23. At the same time, a longer beep sounds.
9. If the unit detects an arrhythmia during the measuring process, the arrhythmia symbol 🎨 18 will flash eight times while the reading is displayed. You may also hear 8 short beeps; these warn the user of an irregular heartbeat.
10. If you do not press any buttons for approx. 1 minute, the device automatically switches to standby mode.

NOTE

When the device is used, the errors Err 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 can occur in the integrated circuit. Err 6 can only occur in 3MAM mode. In 3MAM mode, errors Err 1, 2, 3, 5 do not cause the measurement to be cancelled, unless they occur twice in succession. The error display is always accompanied by 3 short beeps.
