5. Preparing the measurement

To use your new Beurer BM90 Internet blood pressure monitor, you require a broadband router with an LAN con-

nection. To start-up the device, please carry out the following steps in the sequence shown:

•

Visit our website: www.beurer-connect.com

•

Register

•

Enter the wireless box activation code. You will find this on the underside of the wireless box.

•

Using the LAN cable connect the wireless box to your router.

•

To prevent possible damage to the device, the wireless box must only be used with the mains part included in

delivery.

Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on the top of the wireless box. Then insert

the mains plug of the mains part into the mains socket.

•

You can see if the wireless box is ready by the ‚traffic light‘ function: green – ready for use (connection to the

server established).

•

Now select the “blood pressure monitor” option on the website and enter the activation code of your blood

pressure monitor. You will find this on the underside of the blood pressure monitor.

•

Open the battery compartment lid on the blood pressure monitor.

•

Insert four 1.5V AAA (alkaline type LR 03) batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted the correct way

round.

Do not use rechargeable batteries.

•

Subsequently close the battery compartment lid carefully.

•

Carry out a measurement and assign the result to your profile.

Replacing the batteries

If the low battery indicator and are displayed, you can no longer perform any measurements and must

replace the batteries. Once the batteries have been removed from the device, the current date and time are de-

leted. The saved measurements are retained.

Used batteries should not be disposed of in normal household waste. Dispose of them via your electronics retai-

ler or your local recycling point. You are legally obligated to do so.

The codes below are printed on batteries containing harmful substances:

Pb: battery contains lead,

Cd: battery contains cadmium,

Hg: battery contains mercury.

Setting the date and time

•

If there is an existing connection to the server, the date and time will be automatically retrieved by the server.

•

If there is no connection to the server, you will be sent directly to the date/time settings mode.

It is essential to set the date and time. Otherwise, when you reconnect to the server, your measurements will

not be transferred, stored and later retrieved with the correct date and time.

If you press and hold the MEM button, you can set the values more quickly.

19

•

When switched off, press the SET button for approx. three seconds. The year display will start to flash. Set

the year with the MEM button and confirm with the SET button.

•

Then set the month, day, time format (24h/12h), hour, minutes and measurement unit (mmHg/kPa) and confirm

each setting with the SET button.

•

After you have performed all the settings, appears on the display and the device automatically switches

off.

Operating the blood pressure monitor with a mains part

You can also operate this blood pressure monitor with a mains part. When doing so, there must not be any bat-

teries in the battery compartment. The mains part can be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service

address using order number 071.50.

•

To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood pressure monitor must only be used with the mains part

described here.

•

Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on the right-hand side of the blood pressure

monitor.

The mains part must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.

•

Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the mains socket.

•

After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains part from the mains socket first and then disconnect

it from the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug the mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the

date and time setting but the saved measurements are retained.

6. Measuring blood pressure

Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring.

Attach the cuff

The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is for an arm circumference of 22 to 42 cm.

Adopt the correct posture

•

Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes. Otherwise deviations can occur.

•

You can perform the measurement while sitting or lying. Make sure that the the cuff is at heart level.

20

•

To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you are sitting comfortably, with your arms and back

leaning on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.

•

To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain still during the measurement and not to speak!

Performing the blood pressure measurement

•

As described before, attach the cuff and adopt the posture in which you want to perform the measurement.

•

Start the blood pressure monitor with the START/STOP button. • After the self test, during which all display el-

ements are displayed, measurement begins. The cuff pumps itself up automatically. The measurement is taken

during the pump operation.

Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing the START/STOP button.

•

As soon as a pulse is detected, the pulse symbol flashes .

•

When the measurement has been taken, the pressure dissipates very quickly. The pulse, the systolic blood

pressure and diastolic blood pressure are shown on the display.

•

The measurements are automatically transferred to your profile. This is shown on the display by a rolling .

•

The successful transfer is signalled when is shown on the display.

If the transfer fails, is shown on the display. In this event, the measurements are stored on the

blood pressure monitor and will be transferred once the server connection is re-established.

• If the blood pressure measurement has not been performed properly, appears on the display. Observe the

chapter on error messages/troubleshooting in these instructions for use and repeat the measurement.

• In addition to the transfer of the measurements to your Beurer Connect profile, the device has 60 memory

spaces available. The measurement is automatically stored.

• To switch off the device, press the START/STOP button. If you forget to turn off the device, it will switch off

automatically after approx. 1 minute.

Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!

7. Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:

This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this

after the measurement with the symbol . This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness in

which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The

symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors such as

heart disease, age, physical make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be deter-

mined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol is shown on the display after the measurement

has been taken, it should be repeated. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or

move during the measurement. If the symbol appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis

and treatment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your GP‘s instructions.
