What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat.
When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings
about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and
is the first value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh
blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a
second reading is taken – the diastolic pressure.
How is blood pressure measured?
The ecomed BW-80E is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood
pressure from the wrist. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor,
which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation
and deflation of the cuff over the artery.
Blood pressure classification WHO
These values have been specified by the World Health Organisation (WHO)
without making any allowance for age.
Low blood pressure systolic <100 diastolic <60
Normal blood pressure (green display area
/
)
systolic 100 - 139 diastolic 60 - 89
Forms of high blood pressure / hypertension
Mild hypertension
(yellow display area
/
)
systolic 140 – 159 diastolic 90 – 99
Moderate hypertension (orange display area
/
)
systolic 160 – 179 diastolic 100 – 109
Severe hypertension (red display area
/
)
systolic >_180 diastolic >_110
WARNING
Blood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health
risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may lead
to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in traffic)!
Influencing and evaluating readings
• Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the
results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading.
• Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is
also familiar with your personal medical history. When using the unit regularly
and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit the doctor from time
to time to keep him updated.
• When taking readings, remember that the daily values are influenced by
several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physical exertion
influence the measured values in various ways.
• Measure your blood pressure before meals.
• Before taking readings, allow yourself at least 5-10 minutes rest.
• If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low) on
several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor.
This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse
prevents you from taking readings.
Starting up
Insert / replace batteries
You must insert the batteries provided before you can use your unit. The lid of
the battery compartment
is located on the right hand side of the unit. Open
it pushing the cover, remove it and insert the 2 AAA LR03 type 1.5 V batteries
supplied. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries (as marked on
the battery compartment cover). Close the battery compartment. Replace the
batteries if the change battery symbol
appears on the display
or if nothing
appears on the display after the unit has been switched on.

be set again.
Fitting the cuff
1. Attach the clean cuff to the left wrist which is free from clothing with the palm
of the hand facing upwards (fig.1).
2. There should be a gap of approx. 1 cm between the cuff and the palm of the
hand (fig.2).
3. Press the Velcro tape firmly around the wrist ensuring that it is not so tight that
it could falsify the measured result (fig.3).
Correct position for taking readings
• Carry out the measurement whilst seated.
• Relax your arm and place it comfortably, on a table for instance.
• Raise the wrist so that the cuff of the monitor is at heart level (fig.4,
position a = too high, b = correct, c = too low).
• Keep still during the measurement: not move and do not talk as this may alter
the measurements.
Taking a blood pressure measurement
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned,the measurement can begin:
1. Switch the unit on by pressing the button
.
2. If the button
is pressed, all display characters are shown (display test).
This test can be used to check that the display is indicating properly and in full.
3. The unit is ready for measurement and the number 0 flashes for 2 seconds. It
automatically inflates the cuff slowly in order to measure your blood pressure.
The rising pressure in the cuff is shown on the display.
4. The unit inflates the cuff until sufficient pressure has built up for a
measurement. Then the unit slowly releases air from the cuff and carries
out the measurement. When the device detects the signal, the heart symbol
on the display starts to flash.
5. When the measurement is finished,the cuff is deflated completely. The
systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse value with the pulse symbol
appear on the display
. It will read in kPa as unit when you choose
kPa. The blood pressure indicator
flashes next to the relevant coloured bar
depending on the WHO blood pressure classification. If the unit has detected
an irregular heartbeat, the arrhythmia display
also flashes.
WARNING
Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self
measurement. Never alter the dose of a medicine prescribed
by a doctor.
6. The readings are automatically saved in the selected memory ( or ). Up to
90 measured values with date and time can be stored in each memory.
7. The measurement readings remain on the display. The unit switches off
automatically after approx. 3 minutes if no buttons are pressed. The unit may
also be switched off using the button
.
Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason
(eg. the patient feels unwell) the button
can be pressed at any time. The
device immediately decrease the cuff pressure automatically.
Displays of stored values
This unit features 2 separate memories, each with a capacity of 90 memory slots.
Results are automatically stored in the memory selected by the user. Press the
button
when power off, to call up the measured values stored. All values
average appear on the display. Pressing the button
again, the last
measurement value will be shown. Repeatedly pressing the button
displays the respective values measured previously. If you have reached the final
entry and do not press a button, the unit automatically switches itself off after
approximately 3 min. in memory recall mode. Memory recall mode can be exited
at any time by pressing the button
, which will also switch the unit off. The
oldest value is deleted if 90 measured values have been stored in the memory
and a new value is saved.
Memory - clear of measurements
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored memories, press
and hold the button
to enter into setting mode when power off. Press
button
again for 7 times until CL appears. Press the button
, CL will
flash for 3 times to clear all the memories. After this press button
, M and
“no” will be shown on the display which mean that no memory in store.

Proper use
• The device is intended for measuring the blood
pressure from the wrist of an adult.
Contraindication
• The device is not suitable for measuring the
blood pressure of children. Ask your doctor
before using it on older children.
• The device is not suitable for persons with
arrhythmia, diabetes, cardiovascular problems
or who have had a stroke.
Common factors of wrong measurement
• Please keep quiet for 5-10 minutes and avoid
eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising
and bathing before taking measurement. All
these factors will influence the measurement
result.
• Remove watch or other ornaments from the
measured wrist.
• Always measure on the same wrist (normally left).
• Take measurement regularly at the same time of
every day, as blood pressure changes even during
the day.
• All efforts by the patient to support their arm can
increase blood pressure.
• Make sure you are in a comfortable, relax position
and do not activate any of the muscles in the
measurement arm during measurement. Use a
cushion for support if necessary.
• If the wrist lies lower or higher than the heart, a
false reading will be obtained.
• A loose or open cuff causes false reading.
• With repeated measurements , blood accumulates
in the wrist which can lead to false reading.
Consecutive blood pressure measurements should
be repeated after 1 minute pause or after the
arm has been held up in order to allow the
accumulated blood to flow away.
