Thank you for choosing the visomat® comfort form 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.
Intended use
The device is designed for the non-invasive measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the determination of pulse rate and the calculation of pulse pressure for persons aged 12 or over.
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.
Safety instructions
1. Important patient information
- Taking blood pressure measurements 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
too long and injuries could occur.
- The device contains small parts that could be swallowed by children. The air hose poses a strangulation hazard. Do not leave the device unattended with children.
- Do not take a blood pressure measurement on the same side as a mastectomy with simultaneous removal of the axilla lymph nodes.
- Discuss the measured values with your doctor. Do not assess the measurement results yourself. Never change the dose of medicines prescribed by your doctor.
Before carrying out your self-measurement, please pay attention to the chapter "Important usage information" on page 43.

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 20mmHg in patients within a few minutes.
4. 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.
EN-44 EN-45
Operating the deviceOperating the device
Activating and deactivating the date/time function
Press the Start/Stop button to activate the date/time function. Then immediately press one of the two Memory buttons while the full display is still visible. The function can be deactivated at any time using the same procedure.
When the date/time function is activated, the device continues to display the time even when it is switched off. The power consumption for this is extremely low.
Setting the date/time
Initially, the display will show the four-digit year number (Figure 1). Press Memory button 1 to reduce the year number or Memory button 2 to increase the year number. Confirm the entry by pressing the Start/Stop button.
You are now able to set the month. (Figure 2). Press Memory button 1 to reduce the value or Memory button 2 to increase the value. Set the correct month and confirm the entry by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Repeat these steps to enter the day (Figure 2) and the hours and the minutes (Figure 3).
After replacing the batteries, you will have to reset the date and time.
Changing the date/time
To change the date and time, take the batteries out and wait until the display goes off. Then you can reset the date and time.
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).
- 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.
Figure 6
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.
- 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):
EN-48 EN-49
Figure 1
Operating the deviceOperating the device
After the device has completed its calibration against the ambient air pressure (Figure 2), the automatically controlled inflation process starts. The cuff is inflated to the pressure required for measurement.
- Shortly after the inflation procedure begins, 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 actual measurement process then begins as the cuff deflates. The symbol flashes in the display (Figure 3). In addition, beeps denote the pulse.
- A long beep denotes the end of measurement. The cuff is automatically deflated.
- 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 butt 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 65mmHg .
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 55mmHg , 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.
Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4
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 pressureWhD
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.

The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear of wearing parts or damage caused by failure to observe the instructions for use, improper handling (e.g. unsuitable power sources, breakage, leaking batteries) and/or disassembly of the device by the buyer. Furthermore, the warranty does not constitute grounds for asserting claims for damages against us.
Warranty claims can only be asserted during the warranty period and upon presentation of the proof of purchase. In the case of a warranty claim, the device along with the proof of purchase and a description of the complaint must be sent to:
UEBE Medical GmbH
Service-Center
Zum Ottersberg 9
97877 Wertheim, Germany
The cost of returning the device to our factory shall be borne by the sender. Complaints that are sent back without prepayment will not be accepted by UEBE.
The statutory claims and rights of the buyer against the seller (for example, defect claims, producer liability) are not restricted by this warranty.
Please note: In the case of a warranty claim, please make sure to enclose the proof of purchase.
