Beurer BM 90: Performing the blood pressure measurement 7. Evaluating results Cardiac arrhythmia:

•

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.
