Frequently Asked Questions - ExactFit 3 BP6100 BRAUN

How to take an accurate blood pressure measurement?

Sit on a chair, feet flat on the floor, and place your arm on a table so that the cuff is at heart level. Remain still, do not speak or move during the measurement. Make sure the cuff is properly adjusted and the lower edge is 2-3 cm above the elbow. For reliable results, take measurements at the same time each day, preferably in the morning and evening.

What does the WHO/ESH indicator on the screen mean?

The WHO/ESH indicator is a color scale (green to red) that classifies your blood pressure according to the World Health Organization and European Society of Hypertension recommendations. After each measurement, a cursor indicates your level. Use it as a daily reference, but consult your doctor if concerned.

What to do if the display shows an error E1, E2, or E3?

E1: The cuff is not properly attached. Readjust it and try again. E2: The cuff is too tight. Loosen it and reposition. E3: Overpressure. Relax for a moment and take another measurement. If the problem persists, check that you are following the instructions.

How to view the measurement history?

Press the M (memory) button to display the last measurement. Each additional press scrolls through previous measurements (memory no. 01 is the most recent). Systolic, diastolic, and pulse values are displayed with date and time. Make sure you have selected the correct user (A or B).

How to delete all data for a user?

Select the user (A or B) with the switch. Press the M button for more than 5 seconds until the screen shows flashing "dEL ALL". Press M again to confirm. The screen shows "---" and all data for that user is deleted.

When and how to replace the batteries?

Replace the four batteries with new AA (LR6) alkaline batteries when the low battery symbol flashes on the screen. After changing the batteries, the device enters time setting mode. Set the date and time before the next measurement to ensure correct recording of averages.

Which cuff size to use?

Measure the circumference of your arm. Use the Small/Medium cuff for an arm circumference of 22-32 cm, and the Large/XLarge cuff for 32-42 cm. An ill-fitting cuff can distort measurements. Ensure the "<" mark is within the two arrow zones when the cuff is tightened.

Can I use this device if I have a pacemaker or arrhythmia?

Individuals with cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, or a pacemaker should consult a doctor before using the device. In some cases, measurements may be affected. The device does not replace medical advice.

How to clean and maintain the blood pressure monitor?

Clean the device with a slightly damp cloth or mild detergent, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. For the cuff, use only a dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents. Always store the device in its case away from direct light, humidity, and extreme temperatures.

Does the device require calibration?

It is recommended to have the device checked once a year by an authorized service center to ensure its accuracy. Calibration is not free; contact customer service for a quote. Production is indicated by the lot number (e.g., LOT 15612VAL means manufacturer VAL, day 156 of 2012).

USER MANUAL ExactFit 3 BP6100 BRAUN

Braun upper arm blood pressure monitor has been developed for accurate and comfortable blood pressure measurements. The measuring accuracy of Braun's upper arm blood pressure monitor was tested at the time of manufacture and was proven by clinical research in accordance with ESH.

What you should know about blood pressure

Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fluctuate.

Blood pressure readings taken from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions. Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor's office. Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual «everyday» conditions. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse.

Blood pressure Normal Mild Severe

(mmHg)

values

hypertension

hypertension

SYS = systole (upper value) up to 140 140-180 over 180

DIA = diastole (lower value) up to 90 90-110 over 110

• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read the complete use instructions.

- This product is intended for household use only. Keep product and batteries away from children.

• People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.

- If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor first.

• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.

Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement

• Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning and evening, under the same conditions. - Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking or consuming coffee or tea. • Take off wrist watch and jewelry before fitting the cuff on the measuring arm. - While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, and do not move or speak. - Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm. The cuff must be at heart level. - Do not vibrate the unit during measurement, or the proper measurement will not be achieved. - Perform measurement quietly in a relaxed position. - Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. - Do not wrap the cuff over jacket or sweater sleeve or measurement cannot be done. - Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm. - Do not in any way twist the arm cuff.

• Do not drop the product or put it through strong impact. • The device is not supposed to be used if your arm has any wound or injury.

Choosing the Right Cuff

For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct size cuff which best fits your upper arm. Choose the cuff size according to your arm circumference and make sure the bottom of the cuff is 2~3cm above your elbow. • Small/Medium Cuff = 22-32cm arm circumference • Large/XLarge Cuff = 32-42cm arm circumference

Applying the arm cuff

1. Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff.

Irregular heart beat detector (for BP6200 only)

The appearance of this symbol signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during the measurement. Talking, moving, shaking, or an irregular pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this icon. Usually this is not a cause for concern; however, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Low battery indicator

When the low battery indicator lights on the display, it means the battery is low and the four batteries need to be replaced with alkaline LR6 (AA) batteries.

After replacing batteries, the BPM will automatically enter time-setting mode and display the last measurement time on the screen. Please set the current date and time before taking the next measurement to ensure correct average results.

Storage and Cleaning

Always keep the unit in its carrying case after use.

• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, or dusty places.
• Do not store in extremely low (below -20°C) or high (above 60°C) temperatures.
• Clean the case with a cloth moistened with water or a mild cleansing agent, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Wipe the cuff with a dry cloth when dirty.
