User manual MEDION BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT DEVICE MD 10544

[. . . ] It is suitable for healthy people above 12 years of age and can be use to make comparative measurements ­ especially during sporting activities. If the values obtained give you cause to be concerned about your health, take medical advice. Do not change your treatment/dosage of medication as a result of the values unless you have discussed this with your doctor! When interpreting the values measured, please note that there can be differences in the values measured at the wrist and arm. However, because the values measured at the upper arm and wrist undergo the same changes the values measured at the wrist can be used for comparative measurements. The blood pressure measurement device displays blood pressure (systolic and diastolic values), pulse, date and time. [. . . ] · To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. · Always measure your blood pressure at the same time each day!It is important to measure your blood pressure at home and at the same time each day so that the blood pressure, which can change over the course of a day, is recorded properly. · Inform your doctor of the values measured so that he can give you medical advice. · Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that measured at the upper arm. The values may be slightly different because of the different measurement positions and the strength of the blood vessels in the wrist and upper arm. In many cases, the difference for healthy people can be ±10 mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Attention is advised for the following types of person: People with high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease, hardened arteries, poor circulation. 10 CARRYING OUT MEASUREMENTS 1. All indicators are displayed for a few seconds on the screen; then the screen shows the time and the most recently selected memory space. If the sleeve pressure is too low the device pauses and pumps up the sleeve again until it reaches a sleeve pressure that is appropriate for the measurement. The measuring process starts when the correct sleeve pressure has been reached. During measurement do not move the sleeve or your arm or hand muscles. The value displayed will fall during measurement. 3) If you want to stop the measurement, press the ON/OFF button. If you want to repeat a measurement you should wait at least five minutes. The air must be completely removed from the sleeve. 4) The sleeve deflates when the measurement is complete. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse with the pulse icon appear in the display. The MEM entry flashes for a few seconds (see next page). Press the ON/OFF button again to switch off the device. 11 SAVING VALUES The device has two memory areas and . 2) Before measuring select the memory area with the memory area button. Take the measurement. When the values are displayed MEM flashes on the screen for a few seconds. The measured values are displayed in reverse order with each press of the button. The A entry shows the average value (for this to occur at least two values must be saved). 3) The date and time are shown successively with a few seconds in between. Note: The saved values remain saved when the device is switched on/off. The values are deleted when the batteries are changed. 12 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Notes on maintenance It is recommended that you check the usability of the unit every three years or after repairs. According to the "Operating Regulations for Medical Products" a technical measurement check must take place every 2 years if the device is used for commercial purposes. Cleaning/storage Do not clean the device with solvents that contain alcohol. Only use a soft cloth, which may be moistened, and a mild cleaning agent. [. . . ] Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol: NOTE 1 The higher value applies at 80 MHz and 800 MHz. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. [. . . ]
