2.2 What is blood pressure?
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.
2.3 How is blood pressure measured?
The MEDISANA Wrist blood pressure monitor BW 300 connect is a blood pressure device, which is used to measure blood pressure at the wrist. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor - already during the inflating process of the cuff. The device detects the systole and the measurement is completed earlier than using conventional measurement methods. As a result, an unnecessarily excessive inflation pressure in the cuff is prevented. Additionally, your device is able to recognize irregular heartbeat (so-called arrhythmia), which may affect the measurements. In case an arrhythmia has been detected, the respective symbol will appear in the display of the unit (see chapter 4.2 Taking a blood pressure measurement).
2.4 Why should you take your blood pressure at home?
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 so-called "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.

THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND:
Take a blood pressure reading daily and on a regular basis, even if you are experiencing no apparent complaints.
2.5 Blood pressure classification
The following table shows the classification of high and low blood pressure, without taking age into consideration. This blood pressure assessment scale corresponds to the guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO).
| Blood pressure classification according to WHO guideline | |||
| systolic mmHg | diastolic mmHg | Blood pressure indicator 18 | |
| ≥ 180 | ≥ 110 | serious hypertension | red |
| 160 - 179 | 100 - 109 | medium hypertension | orange |
| 140 - 159 | 90 - 99 | mild hypertension | yellow |
| 130 - 139 | 85 - 89 | high-normal blood pressure | green |
| 120 - 129 | 80 - 84 | normal blood pressure | green |
| < 120 | < 80 | optimal blood pressure | green |
| < 100 | < 60 | low blood pressure | green |

WARNING
Blood 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)!
2.6 Fluctuations in blood pressure
There are many factors that can influence blood pressure. Readings can be affected seriously by stress, fear, heavy physical exertion or the time of day at which the measurements are taken. Your personal blood pressure values are subject to considerable fluctuation during the course of the day and the year. These fluctuations are particularly pronounced in the case of patients suffering from hypertension. Blood pressure is usually at its highest during physical exertion and at its lowest at night when you are asleep.
2.7 Influencing and evaluating readings
- Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading.
- Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is also familiar with your personal medical history. When using the unit regularly and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit the doctor from time to time to keep him updated.
- When taking readings, remember that the daily values are influenced by several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physical exertion 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) on several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor. This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse prevents you from taking readings.
3 Getting started
3.1 Unlock transportation mode
The device has been set to a sleep mode for transportation. This sleep mode has to be unlocked once before first use. Therefore press M - 5 Start - / Stop - 6 and S - 7 buttons simultaneously. The sleep mode for transportation can only be activated by the factory.
3.2 Charging the battery
Your MEDISANA Wrist blood pressure monitor BW 300 connect features an integrated rechargeable battery, which enables a cordless operation of your device. Before you can use your unit, the battery should be charged fully. Therefore connect the included mini-USB-cable to the USB interface 2 on the device and to an USB-port of an active electric utility (e.g. PC, laptop computer or mains plug with USB port etc.).
Alternatively, you can charge the device with a special mains adaptor (MEDISANA Art.-No. 51014) via the mini-USB-cable. During the charging process, the display shows e.g. "000" with some segments flashing. When charging process is finished ("000" is displayed constantly in full without any segments flashing), disconnect the mini-USB-cable from the device. If the "battery low"-symbol appears on the display (together
with "Lo") or if nothing appears on the display 3 after the unit has been switched on, you have to recharge the battery in order to ensure further operability. When the battery is fully charged and 3 blood pressure measurements are carried out per day, the energy is sufficient for around 20 days of service.

WARNING - BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION

- There should be a gap of approx. 1 cm between the cuff and the palm of the hand (fig.2).
- Press the Velcro tape firmly around the wrist ensuring that it is not so tight that it could falsify the measured result (fig.3).
- Correct position for taking readings: Carry out the measurement whilst seated. Relax your arm and place it comfortably, on a table for instance. Raise the wrist so that the cuff of the monitor is at heart level (fig. 4, position a = too high, b = correct, c = too low).




- Relax during the measuring process: do not move or talk, as this can affect the results.
- With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm which can lead to false reading. Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated after 3 minutes pause or after the arm has been held up in order to allow the accumulated blood to flow away.

4.2 Taking a blood pressure measurement
After appropriate positioning of the cuff, the measurement can begin.
- Before using the unit, you need to put the LOCK-switch ① position "ON" (green). In "OFF" (red) - position the Bluetooth function is deactivated and all buttons are locked.
