USER MANUAL ExactFit 5 BUA 6350 BRAUN

The Braun upper arm blood pressure monitor has been developed for accurate and comfortable blood pressure measurements. The measuring accuracy of Braun's upper arm blood pressure monitor 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.

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.

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 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)	Normal values	Grade 1 mild hypertension	Grade 2 moderate hypertension	Grade 3 severe hypertension
SYS = systole (upper value)	up to 134 135-159 160-179 ≥180
DIA = diastole (lower value)	up to 84 85-99 100-109 ≥110

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 your blood pressure reading is in the severe hypertension range with values of 180 mmHg systolic and above, and/or 110 mmHg diastolic and above; and you find you have one or two readings in this range - please see your doctor straight away.

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. Do not move or speak. Keep your legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor.

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.

Choosing the right cuff

For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct size cuff which best fits your upper arm. Choose the cuff size according to your arm circumference and make sure the bottom of the cuff is 2~3cm above your elbow.

• Small/Medium Cuff = 22~32cm arm circumference • Large/XLarge Cuff = 32~42cm arm circumference

Applying the arm cuff

1. Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff.

Fig. 4 Fig. 6

Fig. 5

1. Plug the air hose into the connector (Fig. 4).
2. If the cuff is located correctly, the velcro will be on the outside of the cuff and the metal ring will not touch the skin (Fig. 5).
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 2-3 cm above the elbow. The tube should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm (Fig. 6).

1. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around your arm (Fig. 7).
2. When the cuff is positioned properly, press the Velcro firmly against the pile side of the cuff.
3. This cuff is suitable for use if the mark falls within the range marked by two arrows when the cuff is tightened around your arm (Fig. 8).
4. Sit on a chair and place your arm on the table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart (Fig. 9).

For every measurement displayed on the screen, the cursor will indicate the blood pressure level with the corresponding color code, from green to red. You can use this classification daily to guide you to understand your blood pressure level. If you are really concerned by the classification level, you should consult your doctor as soon as possible.

If your blood pressure reading is in the severe hypertension range with values of 180 mmHg systolic or above, and/or 110 mmHg diastolic and above, and if you find you have one or two readings in this range - please see your doctor straight away.

After using the device, turn it off by pressing the start button ⏻) or it will automatically turn off after 1 minute.

Memory function

Your blood pressure monitor can store the latest 60 readings for each user.

Storing measurement data

After each blood pressure measurement, the systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse rate and the time & date of specific day will be automatically stored. Memory #01 is always the most recent one. Once the memory is full, the oldest values will be overwritten.

Press memory button M(2) to review the stored data. The last memory data (sys/dia/pul) with measurement date/time, IHB and WHO indicator will show on LCD. Press memory button M(2) again to show the previous data. Ensure that the correct user; A or B, is selected before use.

This device is not intended as a substitute for regular check-ups by your doctor, please continue to visit your doctor on a regular basis for a professional reading.

Average function

Press the average button (S) to show the full day average of past 7 days on LCD. Press the average button a second time to show the morning average of past 7 days on LCD. If results indicate morning hypertension, the following icon will be shown ☑ Press the average button a third time to show the evening average of past 7 days on LCD. Press the average button a fourth time to show the full day average of past 7 days again.

Erasing data

Switch off the device, press and hold memory button M (2) for more than 5 seconds, LCD display will blink "dEL ALL". Ensure that the correct user; A or B, is selected before use.

Press memory button M(2) again, LCD will display “---” to show all the stored data of corresponding user have been deleted.

Irregular heart beat detector

The appearance of this symbol signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during the measurement. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this icon. Usually this is not a cause for concern, however, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Low battery indicator

When the low battery indicator flashes on the display, it means the battery is low and the four batteries need to be replaced with alkaline LR6 (AA) batteries.

** After replacing batteries, ExactFit™ 5 will go into time-setting mode automatically and show the last measurement time on screen. Please set the current date / time before taking the next measurement to get correct average result.

Storage and cleaning

• Always keep the unit in the carrying case after its use. - Do not put the item directly under the sunlight, in high temperature or humid and dusty places. - Do not store in extremely low (less than -20°C ) or high (more than 60°C ) temperature. - Use a piece of cloth with water or mild cleansing agent to clean the case and then use a piece of dry cloth to wipe it dry. Use a piece of dry cloth to wipe the cuff when it is dirty. - Do not use any strong cleansers to clean it. - When the unit is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries. (Batteries may leak or cause harm). - Do not modify the device. NEVER open the device! This will make the manufacturer's warranty invalid.
