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 rst 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 medisana BW 335 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 ination and deation
of the cu over the artery .

Inuencing and evaluating readings
• Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single
reading.
• Y our 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 inuenced by several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol,
drugs and physical exertion inuence 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.

Fitting the cu
1. Attach the clean cu to the left wrist which is free from clothing with the palm of the hand facing upwards (g.1 ).
2. There should be a gap of approx. 1 cm between the cu and the palm of the hand (g.2 ).
3. Press the V elcro tape rmly around the wrist ensuring that it is not so tight that it could falsify the measured result (g.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 cu of the monitor is at heart level (g. 4 , position a = too high, b = correct, c = too low).
• Keep still during the measurement: Do not move and do not talk as this may alter the measurements.
T aking a blood pressure measurement
After the cu has been appropriately positioned,the measurement can begin.
1. Switch the unit on by pressing the - button

2. The medisana blood pressure monitor BW 335 gives you the opportunity to assign readings to one of two user memories,
each of which provides 120 memory slots. After switching on the device, press the M - button
4
to choose between user 1
and user 2. If no selection is made within 5 seconds, the following measurement will be assigned to the current shown user .
3. The unit is ready for measurement and it automatically inates the cu slowly in order to measure your blood pressure. The
rising pressure in the cu is shown on the display .
4. The unit inates the cu until sucient pressure has built up for a measurement. Then the unit slowly releases air from
the cu and carries out the measurement. When the device detects the signal, the heart symbol starts to ash on
the display . When the measurement is nished, the cu is deated completely . The systolic and diastolic blood pressure
and the pulse value appear on the display
2
. The blood pressure indicator
i
is shown next to the relevant coloured bar
depending on the blood pressure classication.
If the unit has detected an irregular heartbeat, the arrhythmia display
z
will also be shown.
5. The readings are automatically saved in the selected memory ( or ). Up to 120 measured values with date and time
can be stored in each memory along with time and date.
6. The measurement readings remain on the display . The unit switches o automatically after approx. 1 minute if no buttons
are pressed. The unit may also be switched o using the - button
3
.
Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g. the patient feels unwell), the - button
3
can be pressed at any time. The device immediately decreases the cu pressure automatically .
Display stored values
This unit features 2 separate memories, each with a capacity of 120 memory slots. Results are automatically stored in the
memory selected by the user . T o call up the measured values stored, press the M - button
4
when the device is switched
on to activate the memory recall mode. A user memory ( or ) is shown. Use the M - button

Common factors of wrong measurements
• Please keep quiet for 5-10 minutes and avoid eating, drinking alcohol,
smoking, exercising and bathing before taking a measurement. All these
factors will inuence the measurement result.
• Remove watches or other spruce from your wrist before measurement.
• Always measure on the same wrist (normally left).
• Measurements should be taken regularly at the same time of each day , as
the blood pressure varies even during the day .
• Any eort to support the arm during measurement may increase the
measured blood pressure.
• Make sure, you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not move
or constrict your muscles during measurement. Use a cushion to support
your arm if necessary .
• If the wrist is not at heart level, a false reading may be obtained.
• A loose or open cu causes false readings.
• With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the wrist, what may
lead to false readings. Consecutive blood pressure measurements should
be carried out after a 1.5-minute pause or after the arm has been held up
in order to allow the accumulated blood to ow normally.
