ExactFit 5 Connect BUA 6350 Product description 7 8 6 9 9 8 12 Fig. 1 10 11 BUA6350 2 7 5 4 3 2 1 3 GB English Intended use of Braun ExactFit 5 Connect Braun upper arm blood pressure monitor has been developed for accurate and comfortable blood pressure measurements. The measuring accuracy of Brauns 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 doctors office only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect ones 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 doctors 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) SYS = systole
(upper value) DIA = diastole
(lower value) Normal values Grade 1 mild hypertension Grade 2 moderate hypertension Grade 3 severe hypertension up to 134 135-159 up to 84 85-99 160-179 100-109 180 110 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. English 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. Ensure at least 5 minutes of quiet rest before measurements. If possible, it is recommended to rest 10 minutes before taking the measurement. Try to always use the same resting time before taking a 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. Product description (See page 2-3) 1. Start button 2. Memory button M 3.

Fig. 2 Fig. 3 4 5 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 See point 7 below and Fig. 8 to confirm cuff size. 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.
