Anleitung Zusammenfassung
This easy-to-use monitor quickly detects your blood pressure and pulse measurements and displays them on a clear digital panel Your new HEM-431C features an easy-to-squeeze inflation bulb that allows you to quickly fill the cuff with air. Stop pumping and the cuff deflates automatically. Error indicators alert you to incorrect procedures and an automatic power-off function conserves battery. Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the Omron HEM-431 C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor. For specific information on your own blood pressure, CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN. 2 KNOW YOUR UNIT Systolic BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT 3 . 4 . 5 . Slide battery cover off in direction of arrow. Install one 9 volt size battery so + (positive) and -(negative) polarities match the polarities of the battery compartment as indicated . Replace the battery cover. If the Low Battery Indicator appears on the display, replace the battery. A long-life alkaline battery is recommended . Remove the battery if the monitor will not be used for an extended period of time . 3 Low Battery Indicator * l ' A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Blood pressure is the force on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them Your heart is like a pump . When it contracts, pressure increases (systolic pressure) . When your heart relaxes blood pres-sure decreases (diastolic pressure). When a doctor takes your blood pressure, he or she measures both your systolic and diastolic pressures and records them as numbers The more difficult it is for your blood to flow through your blood vessels, the higher both numbers will be . When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called hypertension (high blood pressure) . Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure changes from day to day and minute to minute according to your body’s needs . One or two readings will not determine your normal blood pressure . It is very important to take regular, daily measurements and to keep accurate records. In partnership with your doctor, an accurate record of your blood pressure over a period of time can be a valuable aid in diagnosing and preventing potential health problems. 4 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the following Blood Pressure Classification. This classification, however, is only a general guideline because blood pressure varies from person to person according to age, weight, and health status. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN TO DETERMINE YOUR NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE. WHO Blood Pressure Classification mmHg Hypertension Borderline Normal Systolic 140 160 mmHg NOTE: There is not a universally accepted definition of hypotension (low blood pressure), but a systolic pressure below 99 mm Hg is usually regarded as hypotension. CARE AND MAINTENANCE To protect your monitor from damage, please observe the following: Do not subject your monitor to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight. • Do not told the cuff and tubing tightly. • Do not inflate the monitor over 280 mm Hg. • Do not disassemble the monitor. • Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks. • Do not clean the monitor with volatile liquids. THE MONITOR SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH. 5 A FEW SUGGESTIONS BEFORE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT 1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Also, rest for at least 15 minutes before taking your first reading. 2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times. 3 Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left upper arm. 4. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position. Rest your left arm on the arm of a chair or on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. 5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement. 6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse for your doctor. Remember, a single measurement will not determine your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several measurements over a period of time. Try to measure you blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency. Blood pressure measurements vary considerably. 7. Wait 5-10 minutes between measurements. You may need more rest time between readings depending on your individual physical characteristics. 6 HOW TO APPLY THE CUFF 1. Locate your brachial artery by pressing two fingers approximately one inch above the elbow crease on the inside of the left arm. Determine where your pulse is strongest. 2. The cuff should be assembled correctly when it is removed from the box. If it is not, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop. 3. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the sewn hook material will be on the outside of the Smoo,h C|°th cuff loop and the metal D-ring will not touch you...
