Product description

Printed in China
Intended use of the Braun ActivScan™ 9
ActivScan™ 9 is a blood pressure monitor that has been developed for accurate, comfortable and intuitive blood pressure measurements from the upper arm.
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 finally drops to a low level at night. It may also vary over a short period of time. Therefore readings from successive measurements may fluctuate.
This device will display your blood pressure reading referring to two values: systolic and diastolic. The systolic blood pressure (the upper number) indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats. The diastolic blood pressure (the lower number) indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats. The pulse value is also displayed after each measurement.
The ESH (European Society of Hypertension) and WHO (World Health Organisation) have set up the following standard blood pressure values when measured with a resting pulse at home:
| Blood pressure (mmHg) | Too low | Normal values | Grade 1 mild hypertension | Grade 2 moderate hypertension | Grade 3 severe hypertension |
| SYS = systole (upper value) | below 100 up to 134 135-159 160-179 ≥180 | ||||
| DIA = diastole (lower value) | below 60 up to 84 85-99 100-109 ≥110 | ||||
For every measurement displayed on the screen, the associated colour (from green to red) will indicate the corresponding blood pressure level. You can use this classification daily to help you understand your blood pressure. If you are really concerned by the classification, you should consult your doctor.
The guidance levels set by the World Health Organisation are also available directly on the ActivScanTM 9 blood pressure monitor. If you wish to consult the colour-coded chart on your device, select the Information tab
| SYS (mmHg) | DIA (mmHg) | ||
| Green > | < 135 | and | < 85 |
| Yellow > | 135-159 | or | 85-99 |
| Orange > | 160-179 | 100-109 | |
| Red > | 180+ | 110+ or | |


Safety information and important precautions
To ensure accurate measuring results, read the complete instructions for use carefully.
People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in the extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves. Deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.
If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor first. The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for a consultation with your doctor.
Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
Always take readings at the same time of day, under the same conditions.
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of smoking, drinking coffee or tea or any form of exertion. These factors will influence the measurement.
Always measure on the same arm. The left arm is recommended.
Place the cuff in direct contact with the skin. Do not wrap the cuff over a jacket, sweater or shirt. If you want to take multiple measurements, wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement.

Setting the date and time
The date and time need to be set before a measurement can be taken.
It is important to set the date and time correctly to ensure that the readings are displayed correctly on this device and in the Braun Healthy Heart app.
This screen will be shown automatically when the device is first used or after inserting a new set of batteries.
If you need to adjust the date and time at a later date (for example when advancing the clock by one hour in the summer), then you can access this screen from the main menu by selecting the date and time icon.

Choose the format (EU or US), then the date and time by turning the navigation dial. Press the Enter button to activate the field. When the field flashes you can adjust the numbers. Press the Enter button to confirm the number entered and the cursor will jump to next field. Repeat the process. When completed, confirm by selecting the 'Save' icon.
Setting a username
From the main menu select User and press Enter. Now select the letters by turning the navigation dial, and confirm each letter by pressing the Enter button. When complete, select the Save icon and press Enter.
Names can be changed at any time by choosing the User icon from the main menu.
The user name will not be lost if the batteries are removed or replaced.

Correct posture and cuff positioning
Correct posture during measurement is important to obtain accurate readings.
For greater accuracy, we recommend using the left arm because it's closer to your heart.
The correct position of the cuff should be 2-3 cm above the elbow, with tube outlet facing in the direction of your hand and running along the centre of the inside of your elbow, close the cuff with Velcro fasterner so it fits tightly but comfortable on your arm. There should not be a space between the cuff and your arm.
The ActivScan™ 9 provides on-screen animations to help you achieve the correct posture and fit the cuff properly. This assisted

reading function will be displayed automatically when the device is first used and then can be displayed optionally before each reading by selecting the Settings icon
The on-screen animation guide can also be viewed at any time by choosing the Information icon from the main menu.
Taking a blood pressure reading
- Sit down, relax, keep still (especially the arm being used for the measurement), do not move or speak.
- Fit the cuff 2 - 3cm above the elbow, with tube outlet facing in the direction of your hand and running along the centre of the inside of your elbow.
- Touch the heart measurement icon located to the left of the dial to start a measurement or select the heart button in the main menu. The measurement starts after 3 seconds of on-screen countdown animation. It is possible to cancel the measurement at any time by touching the Home button the Enter button.
Understanding your reading
When a measurement is complete, the readings are displayed on the screen along with a coloured heart logo. The heart logo and the background colour will indicate the level of hypertension for the reading. Please refer to the WHO colour-coded chart (on Page 2) to understand this interpretation.
SYS: shows the reading for the systolic blood pressure
DIA: shows the reading for the diastolic blood pressure

Shows the pulse (heart rate)

This icon appears if there is an irregular heartbeat. An irregular heartbeat can be
caused by simply talking, moving or shaking during a measurement.
Normally this is not cause for concern. However if the symbol appears frequently, and these guidelines are strictly followed, you should seek medical advice.

Memory function
Your ActivScan™ 9 stores up to 200 readings for each user. Readings are stored automatically when the measurement is complete. When the 200 readings are reached, the new readings automatically replace the oldest ones. We suggest you regularly transfer your stored readings onto the Braun Healthy Heart app on your Smartphone in order to follow the evolution of your blood pressure easily over a long period of time.
The memory is non-volatile. Stored readings will not be lost when batteries are replaced.
Consult the average of your readings
Access the averages of your readings as a report by selecting the Report icon in the menu. This function gives the averages for the last 7, 14 or 30 days from the readings taken for the morning (left), evening (middle) and the whole day (right).
The total number of readings taken during the time period is displayed at the bottom and is shown as 14.
Consulting the average of your readings will give you a blood pressure value which is more representative of your overall cardiovascular health.
Make sure you regularly take your blood pressure so the average numbers will more accurately show your overall cardiovascular health.


Refers to measurements taken in the morning, between 04:00 and 09:59
Refers to measurements taken in the evening between 19:00 and 01:59 (on the next day)

Refers to all measurements taken during the day, between 00:00 to 23:59
Tracking the evolution of your blood pressure
Selecting the History icon in the menu will give you access to an overview of your blood pressure data in the form of a bar chart.
Each coloured bar represents a single reading. Select a coloured bar by moving the blue highlight box with the navigation dial. The details of the selected reading will be displayed at the bottom of the bar chart. Each bar colour follows the WHO guidelines as shown on Page 2.
This icon indicates the pulse reading.
This icon appears if an irregular heartbeat has been detected for this selected reading.

The irregular heartbeat will also be shown on the bar chart for the corresponding reading with an interrupted coloured bar
Deleting a reading
It is possible to selectively delete a reading from the history view. That reading will also be deleted from all other views and will not be transferred at next connection with your Braun Healthy Heart App.
Select one reading in the bar chart, and then press on the Enter button: this will show a screen with the details of the reading and a small icon at the bottom for deleting that reading.
To delete the reading, select the dustbin symbol then press on Enter button. To abort, select the back symbol and press on Enter button.

Calendar view
Selecting the Calendar icon in the menu will show your daily average month by month.
Month and year are shown at the top of the screen.
The week starts with Monday to the left; Saturday and Sunday are to the right of the grey line.
Days with readings are highlighted in the colour of the daily average (refer to the WHO chart on Page 2) and details of a particular day's average reading are shown on the right hand side.

Navigate through the days of the month using
the navigation dial. You can quickly navigate through the months by going to the first (last) day of the month, and then you will jump to the previous (next) month and so on.
On top of the screen, the small heart icon followed by a number 2 refers to the number of readings that were taken on the selected day.
You can see all measurements for a selected day by clicking on the Enter button. The small heart icon at the top will indicate the measurement numbers 1/2 . Clicking on the Enter button will move to the next measurement.
