USER MANUAL ExactFit BP4600 BRAUN

English 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 AAMI/ANSI-SP10. 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 nally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can uctuate. Blood pressure readings taken from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reect one’s actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions. Moreover, many people have a dierent blood pressure when they measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s oce. 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 up to 140 140-180 over 180 (upper value) DIA = diastole up to 90 90-110 over 110 (lower value) Product description

6. Battery compartment cover

• Remove the battery compartment cover at the bottom of the unit and insert 4 AA LR6 ALKALINE batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in the battery compartment).

• Note: Always re-set Date and Time after replacing new batteries to make sure the measurement results are stored with correct date and time.

• Only discard empty batteries. They should not be disposed of in the household waste, but at appropriate collection sites or at your retailer. 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, drinking coee or eating.

• Take o wrist watch and jewelry before tting the cu on the measuring arm.

• While taking a measurement sit down, relax, keep still, and do not move or speak.

• Wrap the cu snugly around your arm. The cu 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 at on the oor.

• Do not wrap the cu over jacket or sweater sleeve or measurement cannot be done.

• Remove tight-tting clothing from your left arm.

• Do not in any way twist the arm cu. Fig. 2 Fig. 3

• Do not inate the monitor’s cu when it is not wrapped around the arm.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or change any parts of the monitor including the cu.

• 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 Cu For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct size cu which best ts your upper arm. Choose the cu size according to your arm circumference and make sure the bottom of the cu is 2~3 cm above your elbow.

• Small/Medium Cu = 23~33 cm arm circumference

• Large/XLarge Cu = 33~43 cm arm circumference Applying the Arm Cu

1. Slide the end of arm cu furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop. The

smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cu.

2. If the cu is located correctly, the Velcro will be on the outside of the cu and the metal ring

will not touch the skin. (Fig. 4)

3. Put your left arm through the cu loop. The bottom of the cu should be approximately (2~3

cm) above elbow. The tube should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm. (Fig. 5)

4. Pull the cu so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around your arm. (Fig. 6)

5. When the cu is positioned properly, press the Velcro rmly against the pile side of the cu.

6. This cu is suitable for use if the <<INDEX>> mark falls within the <<OK RANGE>> marked

by two arrows when the cu is tightened around your arm. (Fig. 7)

7. Sit on a chair and place your arm on the table so that the cu is at the same level as your

• 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 suering 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 rst.

• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor. INDEX Fig. 5 Main Arteries LEFT ARM Fig. 4 Pile Side Material Velcro Smooth Cloth Metal Ring Fig. 6 Fig. 7 23 ~ 43 cm/ 33 ~ 43 cm Adult Cu INDEX OKOK Fig. 8

Memory Function Your blood pressure monitor can store the latest readings of 32 measurements Storing Measurement Data After each blood pressure measurement, the Systolic pressure, Diastolic pressure, Pulse rate and the time & date of specic day will be automati- cally stored. Memory #01 is always the most recent one. Once the memory is full, the oldest values will be overwritten. Recalling Stored Readings

• Press “Memory” (3) button, M:00 will appear on the display if there is no data stored in the memory. If there is data stored in the memory, the latest recorded set of measurement which is the Systolic pressure, Diastolic pressure, Pulse rate, and the recording time and date and M:01 will appear on the display for 1 minute.

• Press the “Memory” (3) button again to read the next line of stored data. The data called up on the display with 2-digit Memory number (ex. M:02).

• Press and hold the “Mode” (5) button and then press the “Set” (4) button, all the stored data will be erased and CLR will show on screen.

• To check if the data was erased, press the “Memory” (3) button, No data should show up on screen, but date, time and M:00. Low Battery Indicator When the low battery indicator ashes on the display, it means the battery is low and the four batteries need to be replaced with Alkaline LR6 (AA) batteries. Storage and Cleaning

• Always keep the unit in the carrying case after its use.

• Do not put the item directly under the sunlight, in high temperature or humid and dusty places.

• Do not store in extremely low (less than -20°C) or high (more than 60°C) temperature.

• Use a piece of cloth with water or mild cleansing agent to clean the case and then use a piece of dry cloth to wipe it dry. Use a piece of dry cloth to wipe the cu when it is dirty.
