What is blood pressur e?
Blood pressur e is the pressur e 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 pressur e. The highest value is known as the systolic pressur e and
is the first value to be measured. When the car diac muscle relaxes to take in fr esh
blood, the pressur e in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are r elaxed, a
second reading is taken – the diastolic pr essure.
How is blood pressur e measured?
The MEDISANA BU 510 is a blood pr essure unit which is used to measur e blood
pressur e at the upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a micr oprocessor ,
which, via a pressur e sensor , measur es the vibrations resulting fr om the inflation
and deflation of the cuff over the artery .
Blood pressur e 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 (gr een 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 ar ea
)
systolic > _180 diastolic >_110
W ARNING
Blood pressur e that is too low repr esents just as great a health
risk as blood pressur e that is too high! Fits of dizziness may lead
to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in traf fic)!
Influencing and evaluating readings
• Measure your blood pressure several times, then r ecord and compar e the
results. Do not draw any conclusions fr om a single reading.
• Y our blood pressur e readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is
also familiar with your personal medical history . When using the unit r egularly
and recor ding the values for your doctor , you should visit the doctor fr om time
to time to keep him updated.
• When taking readings, r emember 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 pr essure before meals.
• Before taking r eadings, allow yourself at least 5-10 minutes rest.
• If the systolic and diastolic r eadings 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 irr egular or very weak pulse
prevents you fr om taking readings.
Starting up
Insert / replace batteries
Y ou must insert the batteries pr ovided before you can use your unit. The lid of
the battery compartment
is located on the underside of the unit. Open it,
remove it and insert the 4 AA LR6 type 1.5 V batteries supplied. Ensur e correct
polarity when inserting the batteries (as marked inside the battery compartment).
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.
Using a Mains Adaptor
Alternatively , you can use the unit with a special mains adaptor (MEDISANA
Art.–No. 51125). This connects to the socket
provided at the back of the
unit. In this case the batteries remain in the unit. Inserting the connector into
the back of the blood pressur e monitor switches the batteries off mechanically .
It is necessary , ther efore, to plug the mains adaptor into the mains socket
first of all and then to connect it to the blood pressur e monitor . If the blood
pressur e monitor is no longer being used, first remove the connector fr om
the blood pressur e monitor and then pull the mains adaptor out of the mains
socket. Doing this means that the date and time will not have to be reset each
time.

automatically inflates the cuff slowly in or der to measure your blood pr essure.
The rising pressur e in the cuff is shown on the display .
4. The unit inflates the cuf f until sufficient pressur e has built up for a
measurement. Then the unit slowly r eleases air from the cuf f and carries
out the measurement. When the device detects the signal, the heart symbol
on the display starts to flash, you can hear the beep for every
heartbeat once the heartbeat signal is detected.
5. When the measur ement is finished, you can hear a long beep and the cuff is
deflated completely . The systolic and diastolic blood pr essure 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 pressur e indicator
flashes next to the
relevant colour ed bar depending on the WHO blood pressur e classification. If
the unit has detected an irregular heartbeat, the arrhythmia display also
flashes.

Proper use
• The device is intended for measuring the blood
pressur e from the upper arm of an adult.
Contraindication
• The device is not suitable for measuring the
blood pressur e of children. Ask your doctor
before using it on older childr en.
• The device is not suitable for persons with
arrhythmia, diabetes, cardiovascular pr oblems
or who have had a stroke.
Common factors of wrong measur ement
• Please keep quiet for 5-10 minutes and avoid
eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising
and bathing before taking measur ement. All
these factors will influence the measurement
result.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your
upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• T ake measur ement regularly at the same time of
every day , as blood pr essure changes even during
the day .
• All efforts by the patient to support their arm can
increase blood pr essure.
• Make sure you are in a comfortable, r elax position
and do not activate any of the muscles in the
measurement arm during measur ement. Use a
cushion for support if necessary .
• If the arm artery lies lower or higher than the
heart, a false reading will be obtained.
• A loose or open cuff causes false reading.
• W ith repeated measur ements , blood accumulates
in the arm which can lead to false reading.
Consecutive blood pressur e 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 .
