English Intended use of Braun ExactFit 3 and ExactFit 5 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 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 (upper value) up to 140 140-180 over 180 DIA = diastole (lower value) up to 90 90-110 over 1106

  • For BP6200 only Note: On BP6200, the backlight goes on when the unit is turned on and it will remain on until the device will be switched o.
  • 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 2~3cm above your elbow.

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. Fig. 4 Fig. 6

2. Plug the air hose into the connector (Fig. 4).

3. 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. 5).

4. 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. 6). Fig. 7 Fig. 9 Fig. 8 Adult cu 22~32 cm / 32~42 cm OKOKIndex

5. Pull the cu so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around your arm (Fig. 7).

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

7. 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. 8).

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

6. LCD Display will show the results and WHO indicator arrow after measurement.

(1), all icons on display will be shown for 2 seconds. The device will adjust to zero automatically. The measuring blood pressure symbol will then ash on the display and the air pressure will automatically pump up to certain pressure level and start measurement. Do not move or talk in the midst of taking blood pressure measurement.

5. After the air pressure has increased, the pulse is detected, the heart rate symbol

will start ashing. RED > GREEN >

What to do if ….. Problem Reason Solution Heart rate symbol Appears in the measurement condition and ashes when pulse is detected.

  • Measurement in progress, remain quiet. Low battery indicator Appears when the battery voltage is excessively low or the positions of the batteries are incorrect.
  • Replace all four batteries with new ones. Insert the batteries in the correct positions. Be aware of +/- positions. Measuring error Appears when the accurate blood pressure and pulse could not be obtained.
  • Press “start/stop” button again and remeasure.
  • Check if cu is wrapped according to instructions.
  • Check that there are no kinks in tube.
  • Check palm if exerting eort.
  • Check if talking or moving during measurement.
  • Check if posture is correct. E1 shows The cu is not secure • Refasten the cu and then measure again. E2 shows The cu is very tight • Refasten the cu and then measure again. E 10 or E 11 shows The monitor detected motion, talking or the pulse is too poor while measuring.
  • Relax for a moment and then measure again. E 20 shows The measurement process does not detect the pulse signal.
  • Loosen the clothing on the arm and then measure again. E 21 shows Measure incorrectly • Relax for a moment and then measure again. EE 3 - EE15 Error while measuring • Retake the measurement. If the problem persists, contact the retailer or our customer service department for further assistance. Refer to the warranty for contact information and return instructions. Erasing data Press and hold memory button

(2) for more than 5 seconds, LCD will blink display “dEL ALL”(if the “slide switch is in User A side, the user A icon will show ”) or “dEL ALL”(if slide switch is in User B side, the user B icon will show). Press memory button

(2) again, LCD will display “---” to mean all the stored data of corresponding user have been deleted. Irregular heart beat detector (for BP6200 only) The appearance of this symbol signies 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 serve to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage. 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. ** After replacing batteries, BPM will go into time-setting mode automatically and show the last measurement time on screen. Please set the current date / time before taking the next measurement to get correct average result. Storage and cleaning
