INSTRUCTION MANUAL BM101 DIGITAL BLOOD-PRESSURE METER
Dear Customer,
please read this manual carefully before use in order to avoid damage because of misuse.
Please pay particular attention to the safety information. If you pass the device on to a third
party, these Operating Instructions must also be handed over.
BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
This unit allows you to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as the heart
beat frequency oscillometrically. All readings can be read off on an LCD display. This blood
pressure measurement is meant only for measuring at the wrist of adults.
If the blood pressure is measured by a doctor in the hospital then the excitement of the patient
can cause higher blood pressure. The blood pressure is subject to constant variations
depending on the circumstances. One should therefore not draw conclusions from a single
measurement. It is therefore better to take the measurements at home and plot the regular
readings. You can get the correct impression from this about your actual blood pressure and
help your doctor to make important decisions for diagnosis or treatment.
If you are suffering from heart or lever problems, arterial deposition, diabetes or similar
complaints, please seek advice from your doctor before carrying out the measurements.
WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE
The blood pressure is the pressure which is exercised by the blood against the artery walls. The
blood pressure in the arteries is subject to constant variations during a heart cycle. The highest
pressure in this cycle is called systolic, the lowest as diastolic. The two blood pressure values,
systolic and diastolic, the doctor can determine the blood pressure of a patient. Your blood
pressure can then also be affected by many different factors, such as physical stress, fear or
the time of day etc. The blood pressure is generally low in the morning and rises in the
afternoon till evening. It is lower in the summer, while it is higher in the winter.
