Dear Customer,

We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a boso blood pressure monitor. The boso brand is synonymous with optimum quality and precision and is also number 1 among professionals: 77% of all German doctors currently use boso blood pressure monitors.

This instrument has also passed our strict quality control procedures and is your reliable partner for monitoring your blood pressure values.

⚠️ Please read these user instructions before using the instrument for the first time, as correct blood pressure readings can only be obtained if the instrument is operated correctly. In these user instructions, „→“ means an action by the user.

To get help concerning usage or maintenance please contact your dealer or the manufacturer (contact details can be found on the back cover of this manual).

An unexpected operating condition or an incidence which has worsened the health condition or could have worsened the health condition should be reported to the manufacturer immediately.

Introduction

If the instrument is to be sold, ensure that these user instructions are enclosed.

If the monitor is used in medical practice (in accordance with the legislation governing the operation of medical devices), it should be calibrated at regular intervals.

The boso mercurius E blood pressure monitor is suitable for patients of all ages but not for neonatals.

General instructions for measurement

Always measure your blood pressure from the arm with the higher blood pressure values (where not required otherwise (see page 42)).

To do this, measure the blood pressure first in both arms and thereafter always from the arm with the higher blood pressure.

Using the monitor in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. radiation devices, mobile telephones) can cause it to malfunction. Medical electrical apparatuses are subject to specific precautions as regards electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) (see p. 53-55).

Preparing to measure your blood pressure

Note on cuff sizes:

⚠️ The monitor may only be used with original boso cuffs. These should be chosen according to the upper arm circumference printed on them.

Observe the following instructions when measuring your blood pressure:

Before the measurement the patient should:

→ avoid smoking or drinking coffee for one hour
→ relax for 5 minutes

During the measurement the pa-tient should:

→ sit comfortably
→ not cross the legs
→ place feet flat on the floor
→ support back and arms
→ not move

Measuring your blood pressure

→ Open the instrument by pushing the sliding switch to the right. Fold up the instrument.
→ Press the ON/OFF button ⏻.

All function symbols light up momentarily to indicate that the unit is functioning correctly.

Attaching the cuff

The measurement should be taken from the bare upper arm.

In the case of tightly fitting outer clothing, ensure that the blood supply to the arm is not cut off when the sleeve is rolled up (if necessary remove the article of clothing before taking the measurement).

→ Place the cuff so that the bottom edge is about 2-3 cm above the elbow. The cuff must be positioned so that the marking is over the artery (see illustration 4).

Marking Artery 2-3 cm

Do not attach the cuff over wounds as this can cause further injuries.
⚠ Ensure that the cuff is not attached to an arm where arteries or veins are undergoing or have undergone medical treatment (e.g. shunt).

Measuring your blood pressure

⚠ For women who have had a breast amputated, do not attach the cuff to the arm on the amputated side of the body.
⚠️ During the measurement, medical apparatus that are being used on the same arm at the same time, may malfunction.
⚠ The cuff must not be too tight. There should be enough space to fit roughly two fingers between arm and cuff.
→ The cuff should be placed at heart level.

too low values correct values too high values Illustration 5 GB

Do not talk during the measurement.

⚠️ Check that the air tube is not kinked during the measurement. This could cause congestion of the blood flow and subsequent injury.

Measuring your blood pressure

The blood pressure measurement should not prevent the flow of blood for an unnecessary length of time (> 2 minutes). If the monitor fails to function correctly, remove the cuff from the arm.

Excessive frequent measurements can cause injury by restricting blood flow.

Measuring your blood pressure

→ Close the air valve next to the pumping ball by turning it clockwise.
→ Inflate the cuff to above the systolic pressure. The air release speed can be adjusted by rotating the valve screw. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a deflation speed of 2 – 3 mmHg per second..
→ As soon as you realize the systolic auscultation press the "MARK"-button to mark the relevant value on the display.

In the moment you realize the diastolic pressure, press the "MARK"-button again to mark the relevant value on the column (maximum 4 marks for diastolic pressure possible)

→ After the measurement is completed, fully open the air valve (by turning the air valve anti-clockwise) to achieve fast deflation of the cuff.

Pulse display

The pulse is shown in the lower part of the display as well as the marked pressure values that have been marked during measurement.

To store the instrument, put the cuff back into the compartment and close it.
