Braun ExactFit™ 1 is a blood pressure monitor that has been developed for easy and accurate blood pressure measurements from the upper arm. The measuring accuracy of Braun ExactFit™ 1 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 finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fluctuate. SYS mmHG

DIA mmHG Note: Blood pressure readings from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect one’s actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions. Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s office. 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 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) has set up the following standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse: Blood pressure (mmHg) Too low Normal values Grade 1 & 2 hypertension Grade 3 hypertension SYSTOLIC = systole = upper value DIASTOLIC = diastole = lower value below 100 below 60 up to 139 up to 89 140-179 90-109 ≥ 180 ≥ 110

Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement

• Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under the same conditions.

• Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking, coffee or tea consumption or any form of exertion. These factors will influence the measurement results.

• Always measure on the same upper arm.

• Take off wrist watch and jewelry before fitting the cuff on the measuring arm.

• Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement.

• Do not wrap the cuff over a jacket or sweater. This will affect the measurement.

• Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm. Applying the arm cuff Pile side materialVelcroSmoothclothMetal ringFig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Main arteries

1. Plug the air hose into the connector (Fig. 1).

2. The cuff is located correctly when the velcro is on the outside of the

cuff and the metal ring does not touch the skin (Fig. 2).

3. Put your arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be

approximately 2-3 cm above elbow. The tube should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm (Fig. 3). Adult cuff22-42 cmFig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 6

4. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around

5. When the cuff is positioned properly, press the Velcro firmly against

the pile side of the cuff.

6. This cuff is suitable for use if the arrow heads fall within the stripe

pattern on the other side of the cuff when the cuff is tightened around your arm (Fig. 5).

7. Sit on a chair and place your arm on the table so that the cuff is at the

same level as your heart (Fig. 6). Taking a measurement

8. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

9. Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm

(see “Applying the arm cuff” section above, Fig. 3-6).

10. Do not move the unit during measurement,

or the proper measurement will not be achieved.

11. Press power button

to begin. The measurement starts automatically. While measurement is in progress, do not move or speak. Note: If necessary to interrupt a measurement, press the power button at any time. The device immediately cancels the measurement, lowers cuff pressure and automatically turns off.

12. The cuff will first inflate and then deflate. At the end of the

measurement there are 2 final beep sounds and the reading is displayed: Upper (systolic) value Lower (diastolic) value Pulse

13. Press the power button

to turn the product off. Otherwise the product will turn off automatically after 1 minute. If at any time you want to stop the measurement, press the power button

14. Test results will be saved into the memory automatically ( see

Memory function Your ExactFit™ 1 blood pressure monitor will automatically store the latest measurement. Storing is done automatically after the completed measurement. To recall the reading, press and hold the power button for at least 2 seconds while the unit is switched off. When all the display elements are shown, release the power button and the screen will show the last reading with an symbol. Battery charge indicator Batteries almost discharged When the batteries are approximately 75% used, a battery warning appears. This icon blinks 3 times first when the device is turned on, then goes to measuring mode. The monitor will continue to measure reliably, but new batteries should be obtained. Batteries discharged—replacements required When the batteries are fully discharged, the battery symbol will flash empty along with 3 short beep sounds as soon as the device is switched on. You cannot take any further measurement and must replace the batteries. Refer to the section called “Inserting batteries”. Storage and cleaning
