Important Considerations for Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors:

Wrist blood pressure monitors may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain conditions, such as diabetes or vascular diseases, may have narrower wrist arteries, which could lead to inaccurate measurements. In such cases, an upper arm blood pressure monitor is recommended. Always consult your healthcare professional for advice on the most appropriate measurement method for your individual health needs.

2.1 Battery Installation:

The device requires 2 AAA batteries, which are included. Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity markings, and close the compartment securely. A low battery indicator will appear on the display when replacement is needed.

2.2 Preparing for Measurement:

• Relaxation: Ensure you are completely relaxed for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Avoid Activity: In the 30 minutes leading up to the measurement, avoid vigorous physical activity, eating, drinking, smoking, or consuming caffeine.
• Sitting Position: Sit upright with your back supported and your feet flat on the floor, not crossed.
• Remove Obstructions: Remove any clothing or accessories from your wrist that might constrict blood flow.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Cuff Placement:

Place the cuff on your left wrist, approximately 1 to 1.5 cm below the heel of your hand. Ensure the device is positioned on the inside of your wrist. The cuff should be snug but not too tight, allowing one finger to fit comfortably underneath.

3.2 Taking a Measurement:

1. Once the cuff is correctly positioned, rest your elbow on a stable surface to bring your wrist to heart height.
2. Press the power button to start the measurement. The device will automatically inflate the cuff.
3. Remain still and avoid talking or moving during the measurement.
4. The measurement will complete automatically, and your systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings will be displayed.

3.3 Interpreting Results:

The monitor includes a risk indicator (color-coded scale) to help you interpret your blood pressure values according to WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines. Green indicates normal, yellow indicates elevated, orange indicates mild hypertension, and red indicates moderate to severe hypertension. The device can also identify irregular heart rhythms, indicated by a specific symbol on the display. If this symbol appears frequently, consult your doctor.

3.4 Memory Function:

The device stores up to 60 measurements for two users. Use the 'M' button to access stored readings. If taking multiple measurements consecutively, allow a 1-minute break between each measurement.

3.5 Connecting to Beurer HealthManager:

For models with Bluetooth or USB interface, you can connect your monitor to the Beurer HealthManager app to document and track your measurements over time. Refer to the app's instructions for pairing and data transfer.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your blood pressure monitor, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the device and cuff with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the monitor in its protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to avoid data loss or device malfunction.
