Operating Instructions

Taking a Measurement

1. Preparation: Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement. Avoid talking or moving during the measurement.
2. Cuff Placement: Place the wrist cuff on your left wrist (if right-handed) with the display facing upwards. The cuff should be positioned approximately 0.5 to 1 cm from your palm. Ensure the cuff is snug but not too tight.
3. Positioning: Rest your elbow on a table and raise your wrist so that the blood pressure monitor is at the same level as your heart. This is crucial for accurate readings.
4. Start Measurement: Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will inflate automatically, and the measurement will begin.
5. Reading Results: Once the measurement is complete, the systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA), and pulse rate (PUL) will be displayed on the screen. The device will automatically store the reading in the selected user's memory.

Understanding Your Readings

The display shows three main values:

• SYS (Systolic Pressure): The highest pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
• DIA (Diastolic Pressure): The lowest pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
• PUL (Pulse Rate): Your heart rate, measured in beats per minute.

The device also indicates blood pressure levels according to the WHO (World Health Organization) classification, often shown with a color-coded indicator on the screen.

Memory Function

The THOMSON Cardio W6 can store up to 90 measurements for each of two users (User 1 and User 2), totaling 180 measurements. To access stored readings:

1. Press the MEM button when the device is off or in standby mode.
2. The most recent reading will be displayed first.
3. Press the MEM button repeatedly to scroll through previous readings.

The device automatically calculates the average of the last three measurements, which is a recommended practice by health authorities for a more representative reading.

Arrhythmia Detection

This monitor is equipped with an irregular heartbeat detection feature. If an irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement, a specific symbol will appear on the screen. If this symbol appears frequently, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Clean the device and cuff with a soft, dry cloth.
• If necessary, use a cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.

Storage

• Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
