Thank you for choosing the visomat® comfort 20/40 upper arm blood pressure monitor (hereinafter also referred to as the device).

These instructions for use are intended to help the user operate the device safely and efficiently. The unit must be used in accordance with the procedures contained in these instructions for use and must not be used for any other purposes.

It is important that you read all the instructions carefully before using the device. Please pay particular attention to the chapter "Important usage information" on page 43.

A

Intended use

This device is intended for adults for non-invasive measuring of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, determining the pulse rate and calculating the pulse pressure. • Taking blood pressure

The device uses the oscillometric method for blood pressure and pulse measurement. The cuff is connected to the device and then placed on the arm. A sensor measures the small pressure oscillations generated by the expansion and retraction of the arteries with each heartbeat. The amplitude of the pressure waves is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and shown in the display as a digital value.

1. Important patient information

ents on children requires

specialist knowledge. Consult your doctor if you want to measure a child's blood pressure. Under no circumstances must the device be used on an infant.

• During pregnancy and in cases of pre-eclampsia, the device may only be used after consulting your doctor.
• Do not under any circumstances place the cuff over a critical area, e.g. a wound, aneurysm, etc. or on an arm with an arteriovenous shunt. Risk of injury! Any supply via an intravascular access point (infusion) or other medical monitoring devices could possibly be interrupted.
• Do not use the device without first consulting your doctor if you are having dialysis treatment or are taking anticoagulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors or steroids. These circumstances may cause internal bleeding.
• The display of the pulse frequency is not suitable for checking the frequency of cardiac pacemakers. Cardiac pacemakers and blood pressure monitors do not influence each other in terms of their mode of operation.
  • The device is not suitable for use with electrosurgical devices.
• Do not use the device in explosive environments such as in the vicinity of flammable anaesthetics or in an oxygen chamber.
• Ensure that the air hose is not kinked. A kinked air hose may prevent the cuff from deflating, thus interrupting the blood flow in the arm for too long.
• Please wait a few minutes between successive measurements, otherwise the blood flow in the arm is interrupted for

Operating the deviceOperating the device

The measurement results of automated blood pressure monitors can be influenced by the measuring location, posture, previous exertion and general physical condition. Please pay attention to the usage information in order to obtain accurate readings.

• Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or smoke for at least one hour before measuring.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement. Depending on the previous degree of exertion, you may even need to rest for up to an hour.
• Expose the upper arm. Under no circumstances may clothes hinder the blood flow to or from the arm, as this affects the blood pressure at the measuring point and can lead to incorrect readings.
• Do not move or talk during measuring.
• Breath slowly and deeply. Do not hold your breath.
• Check the display for irregular pulse signals. If required, repeat the measurement when conditions have improved.
• In order to exclude side differences and to obtain comparable measurement results, it is important to always take the measurement on the same arm. Ask your doctor which side it is advisable for you to measure.
  • Always take your daily blood pressure measurements at around the same time.
  • Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It can go up or down by more than 20 mmHg in patients within a few minutes.

4. Initial operation of the device4. Initial operation of the device

Insert the batteries provided into the device.

If the device is to be operated using mains power, the cable connector of the mains adapter (not supplied) must be plugged into the socket on the right-hand side of the device. The batteries are automatically switched off.

Please only use the visomat® mains adapter. See "Original spare parts and accessories" on page 59.

5. Inserting/replacing batteries

• Remove the battery compartment cover on the underside of the device.
• Remove the old batteries from the device and insert the new ones. Please ensure correct polarity (marking in battery compartment).
• Close the battery compartment by clipping the battery cover back into the device.

When the "empty battery" symbol first appears in the display, you are still able to take around 30 measurements. Please replace the batteries within this time frame.

6. Activating and setting the date/time

The device has a date/time function that can be activated as required. This function is deactivated on delivery.

When the date/time function is activated, the measurement results are saved along with their date and time. This can make it easier to view the readings at a later point.

7. Attaching the cuff

Before applying the cuff, please check that the circumference of your upper arm is within the range specified on the cuff. An incorrect cuff size could result in inaccurate readings.

• Expose your upper arm.
• Push the cuff onto the arm until the lower edge of the cuff is 2-3 cm above the crook of the arm (Figure 1, Figure 2).
• When placed on the left arm, the air hose runs down the middle of the crook of the arm to the device. This automatically positions the 4 cm long artery marking centrally above the pulse position (Figure 3).
• When placed on the right arm, the cuff must be rotated to the left until the artery marking is on the pulse position. The air hose then runs along the inner side of the upper arm (Figure 4).
• The cuff should not be too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the arm and the cuff. Tip: - Angle the arm slightly
• Slightly tense the upper arm muscle
• This increases the circumference of the arm slightly
• Now pull the free end of the cuff tight and close the Velcro fastener (Figure 5).
• Check that the measurement arrow on the cuff is within the "Marking for

EN-46 EN-47

Figure 1

arm circumference" on the cuff edge (Figure 6).

Figure 6

• Connect the plug of the cuff to the cuff connection on the left-hand side of the device. Ensure that the plug is fully inserted into the device.
• Place the arm with the cuff on a table so that it is loosely stretched out and hold it very still during the measurement, do not talk. The palm of your hand should be facing upwards.

8. Body position during the measurement

The measurement should preferably be performed in a sitting position. Measurements in a lying position are also permitted in exceptional cases. The body must be in a relaxed position.

Measurement in a sitting position

• Sit at a table (preferably at the height of a dining table, not a coffee table).
• Sit with your back against the backrest of the chair.
• Rest your entire lower arm on the table with the palm facing upwards.
• Put your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.

Measurement in a lying position

- Lie on your back. Look up at the ceiling during the measurement. Keep still and do not move.

C

- Ensure that the measuring point on the upper arm is approximately level with your heart. If the measuring point is lower than the heart, the measured values may be higher. If the measuring point is higher than the heart, the measured values may be lower.

The results for measurements taken in a sitting and lying position may differ slightly.

9. Selecting the user

The device is designed for two users. The values for the two users are stored separately and can also be evaluated separately.

You may also use the two user memories to evaluate measurements taken in morning and those taken in the evening separately. To do this, carry out the measurement in the morning using user 1 and in the evening using user 2.

• Before taking the measurement, check that the correct user is displayed.
  • To change the user, press the user button for whose memory bank you want to switch over to.
• Now carry out the measurement.

Also, you will be given another opportunity to assign the measurement to the correct user after the measurement has been taken (see page 49).

10. Measuring blood pressure

- Switch the device on using the Start/Stop button. The following display appears (Figure 1):

• After the device has completed its calibration against the ambient air pressure (Figure 2), the automatically controlled inflation process starts. The cuff slowly inflates during the measurement procedure.

Figure 2

Figure 3

Figure 4

• Shortly after the inflation procedure begins, Figure 2 a check is carried out to ensure that the cuff has not been applied too loosely. If the cuff is applied correctly, the symbol is displayed. If the symbol is not displayed by the time the pulse signal starts, the cuff is too loose. In this case, you should repeat the measurement after you have applied the cuff correctly (see page 46).
  • The measurement is carried out during inflation. The symbol flashes in the display (Figure 3). In addition, beeps denote the pulse.
• Inflation stops as soon as the measured values are determined; the cuff is then automatically deflated. A long beep denotes the end of measurement.
  • The determined systole, diastole and pulse values, as well as the pulse pressure (PP) are shown in the display (Figure 4).
• When the measurement is finished, you will be given another opportunity to change the memory to which the measured value is to be saved. To do this, press the Memory button of the user for whom the measured value is to be saved.
• The device switches itself off after approximately 3 minutes. You can also switch the device off before this by pressing the Start/Stop button.

11. Classification of the measured values (WHO) 12. Pulse pressure

The device categorises the blood pressure readings according to the 1999 guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO). You can determine the classification after each measurement using the triangle in the display and the colour fields next to the display.

Classification	Systolic pressure = top value mmHg	Diastolic pressure = bottom value mmHg
Stage 3 hypertension ≥ 180 ≥ 110
Stage 2 hypertension 160-179 100-109
Stage 1 hypertension 140-159 90-99
High-normal 130-139 85-89
Normal 120-129 80-84
Optimal < 120 < 80

The WHO classification is stored along with the measured values and both can be recalled from the memory.

Depending on age, weight and general health, the blood pressure values can be different. Only a doctor can determine the right blood pressure range for you and assess whether your blood pressure has reached a dangerous level for you. Discuss your blood pressure values with your doctor.

EN-50 EN-51

Operating the deviceOperating the device

The pulse pressure – not to be confused with the pulse beat – provides an indication of the elasticity of the blood vessels. A stiff system of vessels can have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. Studies show that the cardiovascular risk increases if the pulse pressure value is permanently higher than 65 mmHg.

The heart works in two phases, the contraction phase (expulsion phase, systole) and the relaxation phase (filling or resting phase, diastole). The pressure difference between systole and diastole is called the pulse pressure or pulse amplitude. The higher the pulse pressure, the stiffer your vessels are thought to be.

High pulse pressure Above 65 mmHg
Increased pulse pressure 55 to 65 mmHg
Normal pulse pressure	Below 55 mmHg

If your pulse pressure is permanently above 55 mmHg, consult your doctor.

13. Irregular pulses and cardiac arrhythmia

If the device detects irregular pulses during the measurement, the ♥ symbol is displayed once the measurement is complete.

This can be triggered by cardiac arrhythmias, movement, talking or even by deep breathing. The symbol is stored with the respective measurement.

A more frequent appearance of the symbol may indicate cardiac arrhythmia and must be discussed with your doctor! Measurement results accompanied by irregular pulses should therefore

be viewed as critical and repeated under more favourable conditions.

14. Motion control

Movements during the measurement may result in incorrect measurement readings. The motion control registers stronger movements and these are indicated by the ▼ symbol in the display. If this symbol appears, please repeat the measurement and avoid moving.

The symbol is stored with the respective measurement.

15. Using the memory

The device stores the measured values in two memories (one per user). Each memory can store up to 120 readings and the average value (A). The average value is calculated from the last three measurements taken.

The measured results are automatically saved in the memory. If more than 120 measured values are saved, the oldest measured value (no. 120) is deleted so that the latest value (no. 1) can be recorded.

Data retrieval

Set the user whose data you wish to retrieve.

To retrieve data, press the Memory button of the user you wish to retrieve the data for while the device is switched off. The average value is displayed with "A" (Figure 1).

Figure 1

EN-52 EN-53

Operating the deviceOperating the device

Press the Memory button again to display the most recently measured values (Figure 2). If the date/time function is activated, the memory number (Figure 2), the date (Figure 3) and the time (Figure 4) are displayed alternately.

Press the Memory button repeatedly to recall further measured values.

You can switch between the two memories by pressing Memory button 1 or 2.

The stored data remain visible in the display for around 30 seconds. The device then switches itself off.

Deleting data

To delete individual measured values, recall the measured value you wish to delete.

Press the Memory button again and hold down until the display firstly flashes and is then replaced with dashes.

To delete the entire memory, retrieve the respective average value (A), press the Memory button again and hold down until the average value firstly flashes and is then replaced with dashes.

1. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure value

The circulatory system has the important task of supplying all organs and tissues in the body with sufficient blood, and of removing metabolites. The heart does this by contracting and expanding at a regular rhythm of around 60-80 times per minute. The pressure created by the blood flow on the artery walls when your heart contracts is referred to as systole. The pressure in the subsequent relaxation phase when the heart fills with blood again is referred to as diastole. In your daily measurement, you will measure both values.

2. Why you measure different values

Our blood pressure responds to internal and external influences like a sensitive measuring instrument. Affected by mental, physical and environmental influences, it varies all the time and never remains constant.

Reasons for fluctuating blood pressure values can be: moving, speaking, eating, consuming alcohol or nicotine, nervousness, inner tension, emotions, room temperature, recent urination or bowel movements, environmental influences such as movements and sounds, etc. Even changes in the weather and climate can have an effect on your blood pressure.

This explains why values measured at the doctor are often higher than those you obtain at home in your usual environment.

3. Why should you measure blood pressure regularly?

Even the time of day has an effect on your blood pressure. The values are at their highest during the day. In the course of the afternoon and in the evening, they drop slightly. They are low while you are sleeping, but rise again relatively quickly once you get up.

EN-54 EN-55

What you should know about blood pressureWhDvo

One-off and irregular measurements therefore say little about your actual blood pressure. A reliable assessment is only possible when measurements are taken regularly. Discuss the measured values with your doctor.
