GB HOMEDICS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR Before use

Before the blood pressure monitor is taken into use, a number of basic steps should be observed. Please read

this manual thoroughly before the blood pressure monitor is used for the first time and keep the manual for

The blood pressure monitor is intended for home use only. Any measurement is solely for your information

and can under no circumstances replace a visit to the doctor. The blood pressure measurements should

always be assessed by a qualified person (a doctor, nurse or similar) who is familiar with the user’s general

medical condition. By regular use and by keeping a record of the results, this person can be kept well

informed about developments in the user’s blood pressure. Measurements must never be interpreted by the

user with the aim of changing levels in the use of medicine as prescribed by a doctor. The doctor’s

instructions must be followed AT ALL TIMES.

Use of appropriate cuff size is crucial to correct measurement. Follow the instructions presented in this

manual and printed on the cuff to ensure that the correct cuff size is used.

The blood pressure monitor is not suited for users who suffer from arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturbances)

and errors may occur in the measurement results if the user has suffered a stroke, suffers from cardiovascular

diseases, has a very low blood pressure, or suffers from other symptoms such as circulatory diseases (diabetes,

kidney diseases, arterial sclerosis (deposits in the arteries), or poor peripheral blood circulation (e.g. in hands

Electromagnetic disturbances: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Keep it clear of strong

electric or electromagnetic fields in the immediate surroundings (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens)

as these may temporarily reduce measurement accuracy.

Use the blood pressure monitor only for its original purpose.

The device is intended for measurement of blood pressure and pulse with adult persons. Do not apply the

monitor to infants nor to persons who cannot express their permission. The device must not be operated by

The blood pressure monitor functions in accordance with the oscillometric measurement principle. These

blood pressure changes are measured in the cuff on the basis of the arm pulse and are converted into a

numerical value of the current blood pressure. Simultaneously, the number of pulse beats are registered and

calculated as number of pulse beats per minute.

There are two kinds of discernible blood pressures. Both are expressed in mmHg (millimetres on the mercury

column): The systolic and the diastolic. The systolic (‘the high blood pressure’) states the pressure when the

heart chambers contract to send blood through your body, and the diastolic (‘the low blood pressure’) states

the pressure when the heart is at ease and filling with blood before the next muscle contraction. The

connection between values (mmHg) is expressed as e.g. 130 over 85 which means that the systolic pressure is

130 and the diastolic pressure is 85.

Why is it important to keep an eye on your blood pressure?

Many of today’s most common diseases are connected to hypertension , also referred to as ‘high blood

pressure’. Hypertension is closely connected to cardiovascular diseases, and for people in the danger zone the

blood pressure provides an important tool to keep an eye on the development.

GB What are systolic pressure and diastolic

When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart,

blood pressure reaches its maximum value, the highest

pressure in the cycle is known as systolic pressure. When

the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest blood

pressure is diastolic pressure.

What is the standard blood pressure

Below illustrates the blood pressure classification mode by

World Health Organization (WHO) and International

Society of Hypertension(Isa) in 1999.

CAUTION Only a physician/GP can tell you your normal blood pressure range and the point at which you are at risk.

Consult your physician to obtain these values. If the measurements taken with this product fall outside the

range, consult your physician/GP.

Normal High-normal Mild Moderate Severe Optimal Norm. Norm. G1 G2 G3 Irregular Heartbeat Detector

An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring the systolic

and diastolic blood pressure. During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and

works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, the irregular heartbeat

symbol appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.

CAUTION The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat

was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol

appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a

cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

GB If it is not possible to t the cu on the left arm, it can be placed on the

right arm instead. However, it is important that all measurements are

carried out on the same arm. If the measurement is to be taken on the

right arm, the artery symbol on the cu should be positioned above

the main artery. Press the arm’s arteries with two ngers at

approximately 2 cm above the elbow on the inside of the arm to nd

out where the pulse is strongest. This is the main artery.

Worth knowing about blood pressure measurement

• Blood pressure measurements should be performed in quiet and comfortable surroundings as

measurements can be aected by high or low temperatures. The blood pressure should be measured at

normal body temperatures.

• Do not move or speak during measurement. Keep your feet at on the oor.

• Do not touch the cu or the blood pressure device during measurement.

• To obtain the best possible measurement, the blood pressure should be measured at approximately the

same time every day, and on the same arm.

• If you are to perform several successive measurements, please wait 5 minutes between each measurement.

• The measurements are for guidance only. If you have doubts about your blood pressure, consult your

• The blood pressure device automatically deates when the pressure exceeds 300 mmHg.

• The product is not suited for persons suering from arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturbances).

• Measurement errors may occur if the user suers from diabetes, poor blood circulation, kidney problems, or

has suered a stroke.

• The blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is consequently changing constantly 24 hours a day.

• The measurement of blood pressure can be inuenced by the user’s position, condition, or other factors. To

obtain the highest degree of accuracy it is recommended that the measurement is taken 1 hour after

workout, bathing, nishing a meal, consuming alcoholic or caeine beverages, or after smoking.

• Before measurement it is recommended that you sit still and relax for 15 minutes. The user should not be

physically tired or exhausted when the measurement is taken.
