Classification of the measured values (WHO)_14 Thank you for choosing the visocor HM60 wrist blood pressure monitor (hereinafter also referred to as the device). These instructions are intended to help the user to use the unit safely and efficiently, and must be kept with the product and forwarded, if applicable. The unit must be used in accordance with the procedures contained in these instructions for use and must not be used for any other purposes. It is important that you read all the instructions...

english Safety instructions The intended purpose of this device is to enable adults to automatically measure their own systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse at their wrist. The device can also be used by health care professionals. This unit uses the oscillometric method for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate. Warning: Not suitable for use on newborn babies or infants. Warning: Not suitable for use during pregnancy. The device is not suitable for use in close proximity to RF elec-trosurgical instruments or magnetic resonance imaging equipment. Do not use the unit without...

The readings measured using this device do not provide a diagnosis. They are no substitute for visiting a doctor. Do not rely solely on the result obtained; always take the patient’s other symptoms into account too. In case of doubt, please call a doctor or paramedics to help. Discuss the measured values with your doctor. Do not assess the measurement results yourself. Never change the dose of medicines prescribed by your doctor. Before carrying out your self-measurement, please pay attention to the chapter “Important usage information” on page 10. Safety instructions batteries of different types....

Operating the unit3. Important usage information The measurement results of automated blood pressure monitors can be influenced by the measuring location, posture, previous exertion and general physical condition. Please pay attention to the usage information in order to obtain accurate readings. • Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or smoke for at least one hour before measuring. • Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement. Depending on the previous degree of exertion, you may even need to rest for up to an hour. • Clear the wrist from all clothing or watches/jewellery since this...

Operating the unit Operating the unit starts. The cuff is inflated to the pressure required for measurement (Figure 2). • The actual measurement takes place with the start of deflation (Figure 3). The 1 symbol in the display flashes until the pulse frequency is displayed. • Once the measurement has been taken, the cuff automatically deflates. The determined systole, diastole and pulse values are shown on the display (Figure 4). • The device switches itself off after approximately 60 seconds. You can also switch the device off before this by pressing the Start/Stop button. The device will classify...

Deleting data Measured results are automatically stored in the memory. The memory can store up to 120 results and the average value. The average value is calculated from the last three measurements taken. Only the entire memory can be deleted. It is not possible to delete individual measured values. When more than 120 measured values have been stored, the oldest value (NO. 120) is deleted to allow the latest value (NO. 1) to be recorded. Data retrieval To retrieve the data, press MEM with the device switched off. The average value of the stored results is displayed along with “AVG.” (Figure 1)....

1. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values The cardiovascular system has the important function of supplying all organs and tissues in the body with sufficient amounts of blood and of transporting metabolites. To do so, the heart contracts and expands at a regular rate of about 60 to 80 times per minute. The pressure of the flowing blood on the artery walls caused by the heart contracting is termed systolic. The pressure in the ensuing relaxation phase, when the heart refills with blood, is termed diastolic. During daily measurement you determine both values. What you should know about blood...
