Safety Information

What is blood pressure? Thank you for your confidence in us and congratulations on your purchase! You have acquired a quality product with your purchase of the MEDISANA MTP Pro upper arm blood pressure monitor. To ensure the best results and long-term satisfaction with your MEDISANA MTP Pro blood pressure monitor, we recommend that you read the following operating and maintenance instructions carefully. Please check first of all that the device is complete and is not damaged in any way. In case of doubt, do not use it and contact your dealer or your service centre. The following parts are included:

• 1 MEDISANA Blood pressure monitor MTP Pro

• 1 Cuff with air hose • 4 Batteries (AA type, LR 6) 1,5V

• 1 Storage bag • 1 Blood pressure pass

• 1 Instruction manual The packaging can be reused or recycled. Please dispose properly of any packaging material no longer required. If you notice any transport damage during unpacking, please contact your dealer without delay. WARNING Please ensure that the polythene packing is kept away from the reach of children! Risk of suffocation! Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat. When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and is the first value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic pressure. The MTP Pro is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at the upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation and deflation of the cuff over the artery. MEDISANA has had many years of experience in the field of blood pressure measurement. The high precision of MEDISANA devices has been confirmed by extensive clinical tests, carried out according to strict international standards. One strong argument in favour of taking blood pressure at home is the fact that the readings are taken in familiar surroundings under relaxed conditions. The most important reading is the socalled „baseline value“, the one taken before breakfast, directly after getting up in the morning. As far as it is possible, you should always try to take your blood pressure at the same time and under the same conditions each day. This ensures comparable results and helps in detecting the first signs of high blood pressure. If high blood pressure remains undetected, it increases the risk of further cardiovascular diseases.

How is blood pressure measured?

Blood pressure classification

Fluctuations in blood pressure

Influencing and evaluating readings THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND: Take a blood pressure reading daily and on a regular basis, even if you are experiencing no apparent complaints.The following table shows the classification of high and low blood pressure,without taking age into consideration. This blood pressure assessment scalecorresponds to the guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO).Low blood pressure Normal blood pressure (green display area

systolic 140 – 159 systolic 160 – 179 systolic>_ diastolic 90 – 99 diastolic 100 – 109 diastolic>_ WARNINGBlood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may lead to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in traffic)!There are many factors that can influence blood pressure. Readings can beaffected seriously by stress, fear, heavy physical exertion or the time of day atwhich the measurements are taken. Your personal blood pressure values aresubject to considerable fluctuation during the course of the day and the year.These fluctuations are particularly pronounced in the case of patients sufferingfrom hypertension. Blood pressure is usually at its highest during physicalexertion and at its lowest at night when you are asleep.• Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare theresults. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading.• Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who isalso familiar with your personal medical history. When using the unitregularly and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit thedoctor from time to time to keep him updated.• When taking readings, remember that the daily values are influenced byseveral factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physicalexertion influence the measured values in various ways.• Measure your blood pressure before meals.• Before taking readings, allow yourself at least five minutes rest.• If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low) onseveral occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor.This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulseprevents you from taking readings.MTP_Pro_51090_3MAM_West_21082017_Blutdruckmessgerät 21.08.17 07:36 Seite 1819

Setting up the user memory

Setting time and date

Alternatively, you can use the unit with a special mains adaptor (MEDISANAArt.–No. 51036) This connects to the socket provided at the back of theunit. In this case the batteries remain in the unit.Inserting the connector into the back of the blood pressure monitor switchesthe batteries off mechanically. It is necessary, therefore, to plug the mainsadaptor into the mains socket first of all and then to connect it to the bloodpressure monitor. If the blood pressure monitor is no longer being used, firstremove the connector from the blood pressure monitor and then pull the mainsadaptor out of the mains socket. Doing this means that the date and time willnot have to be reset each time. To set date and time press and hold the TIMER button

for several seconds.The symbol for the memory selected starts blinking. Now press the TIMERbutton again briefly. The year is now shown in the display and startsblinking. Press the MEMORY button to change the year. Press the TIMERbutton to go to month, day and time. Press the MEMORY button

change the values. The MTP Pro gives you the opportunity to assign readings to one of two user memories, each of which provides 99 memory slots.Press and hold the TIMER button for several seconds. The symbol formemory (USER) 1 in the display starts blinking. You can switch between USER 1 and USER 2 by pressing the MEMORY button

Correct position for taking readings

Taking blood pressure readings Single reading First attach the free end of the cuff’s air tube to the designated connector on the unit. Open up the cuff to a ring and slip it over the bare left upperarm just above the elbow region. If wearing tight clothing, ensure that thecirculation in the arm is not impaired when rolling up the sleeve. Pleaseensure that the cuff buckle is never positioned directly over the artery, as thiscan result in an incorrect blood pressure reading.The tube should run along the centre of the inner arm towards the palm of thehand. Ensure that the cuff itself is not twisted in any way.Fasten the pressure cuff in such a way that it fits tightly but does not constrictthe arm. Do this by passing the end through the buckle, pulling it tight andattaching it to the Velcro fastener.• Take readings while in a seated position.• Relax your arm and rest it lightly on a surface such as a table. Relax duringthe measuring process: do not move or talk, as this can affect the results. a. Press the START button

• All the display symbols will appear for approx. two seconds.• The cuff will then inflate. The increasing pressure is displayednumerically.• Pressing the START button during inflation will stop the inflationprocess. The unit switches off and the cuff deflates. b. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by releasing the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the currentpressure in the cuff. Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. As soon as the pulse can bedetermined, deflation is synchronised with the beating of the heart until themeasurement ends. This procedure is accompanied by a beep and the heartsymbol flashes at the same time. The measurement is complete when the cuff suddenly deflates and readings are displayed next to SYS, DIA and PUL, together with the WHO blood pressure bar display

Taking blood pressure readings 3MAM measuring method (3 consecutive measurements to calculate an average value) Selecting the 3MAM measuring method With the MTP Pro, you can choose between two measuring modes. • Single reading 3 consecutive readings ( Measurement Average Mode = 3/MAM-mode ) In the case of a single reading, just one blood pressure reading is taken andstored.The 3/MAM-mode is to be recommended if you suffer from severely fluctu-ating blood pressure. 3 successive readings are taken at 15 second intervals,thus eliminating widely varying readings. In the case of serious deviations,a 4th reading may be taken.From these three measurements, a weighted average value is calculated,displayed and stored in the selected memory. A reading taken in this way isindicated in the memory by an .The 3/MAM procedure greatly minimizes the risk of an incorrect reading.1. To switch between single measurement and 3 consecutive measurements(3MAM procedure), press and hold the TIMER button until the symbolfor 3MAM mode and “ “ appear flashing in the display.2. Press the MEMO button to select either “ “ or “ “; “ “for the 3MAM measuring method and “ “ for single measurement. 3 consecutive measurements to calculate an average value

The device carries out a self test. Once this is complete, “ “ appears onthe display. 5 short beeps sound during the procedure.On the display, you can see (average) and “ 1 “ for the firstmeasurement.2. Next, the sleeve automatically inflates until the pressure required for ameasurement has been reached. Alternatively, you can create this pressuremanually by pressing and holding the START button after the devicehas automatically reached a pressure of at least 30 mmHg. When you thinkthat the device has reached the ideal starting pressure for a measurement,release the START button . The increasing pressure is displayednumerically.3. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete byreleasing the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the currentpressure in the cuff.4. Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. The pulse symbolappears on the display. As soon as the pulse can be determined, defla-tion is synchronised with the beating of the heart until the measurementends. The device beeps for each heartbeat during this procedure, if you didnot switch off the beep function beforehand. At the same time, the pulsesymbol flashes.5. The first measurement ends when the pressure has been completely dis-charged from the sleeve during a 15 second countdown. The countdownsymbol flashes during this process. Beeps sound during the last 5seconds.MTP_Pro_51090_3MAM_West_21082017_Blutdruckmessgerät 21.08.17 07:36 Seite 2223

6. Instead of “ 1 “, the display now shows “ 2 “ for the second measurement.

The second measurement proceeds in the same way as the first (see points2 - 5).

7. Instead of “ 2 “, the display now shows “ 3 “ for the third measurement.

The third measurement proceeds in the same way as the first (see points2 - 4).8. Once the 3MAM measurement has been taken, the sleeve suddenlydeflates and a longer beep sounds.

9. The measured values SYS, DIA and PUL are shown on the display, togeth-

er with the WHO blood pressure bar display. At the same time, a longerbeep sounds.

10. If the unit detects an arrhythmia during the measuring process, the arrhy-

thmia symbol will flash eight times while the reading is displayed.You may also hear 8 short beeps; these warn the user of an irregularheartbeat.

11. If you do not press any buttons for approx. 1 minute, the device automat-

ically switches to standby mode.NOTE When the device is used, the errors Err 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 can occur in the integrated circuit. Err 6 can only occur in 3MAM mode.In 3MAM mode, errors Err 1, 2, 3, 5 do not cause the measurement to be cancelled, unless they occur twice in succession. The error display is always accompanied by 3 short beeps.This unit features 2 separate memories, each with a capacity of 99 memoryslots. Results are automatically stored in the memory selected by the user.When the memory is full, the oldest reading is always the first to be deleted.Press the MEMORY button to display the stored readings. After all the seg-ments in the display have been shown, an average value of all the measure-ments in the selected memory is displayed. This average is indicated by “ ”.
