Item number: S-858DK
Blood pressure monitor that tests for atrial fibrillation with an AFib function.
Can store up to 240 measurements for 2 users.
Note: Blood pressure can be affected by food, drink, smoking, and physical activity. Therefore, it is recommended that you measure your blood pressure at least 30 minutes after eating, smoking, or consuming caffeinated beverages. It is also a good idea to sit quietly for 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
How to position the cuff:
● Apply the cuff to a bare arm, with no clothing underneath.
● Note: Use only the original cuff provided with the device, as using others may result in incorrect readings.
● Place your arm through the cuff opening and position the cuff on your upper arm, 2-3 cm above the elbow crease. It should be snug enough that you can just fit 1-2 fingers between the cuff and your upper arm.
● Secure the cuff with the Velcro fastener.
Before starting the measurement:
● Sit on a chair with back support, keep your legs uncrossed, and place your arm on a table so that the cuff is at heart level.
● Sit in a relaxed position and place the arm with the cuff on the table, palm facing up.
● Place a finger from your opposite hand on the AFib sensor.
Starting the measurement:
● Once you are sure your finger is positioned correctly and you are ready, press the start/stop button.
● All symbols will appear on the screen first, followed by "00". The device is now ready and will automatically inflate to a pressure level suited to you.
● During deflation, your blood pressure and pulse will be determined. The pulse symbol will flash in time with your heartbeats. It may take a little longer for the device to evaluate for rhythm disturbances via the AFib sensor, so please remain still until it is completely finished.
Please note that the atrial fibrillation screening takes longer than the blood pressure measurement. Do not remove your finger until a result appears on the lower display.
● When the measurement is fully complete, your results will be shown on the screens.
● On the top display, you can read your blood pressure and pulse; an icon will appear if an irregular heartbeat has been detected. The lower display will show a waveform, and the text "ok" or "AFib" will appear. If the AFib symbol appears during multiple measurements, we recommend that you contact your doctor.
It is possible to use the AFib function without measuring blood pressure. During such a measurement, data will not be saved.
● To use only the AFib function, place your finger on the AFib sensor area and then press start/stop. The display will show the user who most recently used the device. This is irrelevant as the measurement will not be saved.
● The device will show the measured pulse, and when the measurement is finished, the screen will show the AFib symbol with "ok" or "AFib".
The cuff and the device can be wiped with a dry cloth or a damp cloth wrung out in mild dish soap, and must then be wiped with a dry cloth again. The cuff can be disinfected with a 75% alcohol wipe if necessary. Water must not be poured onto the device, and harsh cleaning agents or chemicals must not be used.
The device must not be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or stored in damp or dusty environments.
If you are experiencing error messages or inaccurate readings, there may be several reasons for this:
● Is the cuff applied correctly? Not too loose, not too tight, 2-3 cm above the elbow crease.
● Were you sitting correctly during the measurement? Without crossing your legs, relaxed in a chair with back support, arm resting on a table with the cuff at heart level.
● Were you sitting still during the measurement? You must not move or talk during the measurement. It is important to be as relaxed as possible.
● Have you recently been active, eaten/drunk, or smoked? Blood pressure can be affected by food, drink, smoking, and activity. Therefore, it is recommended to measure your blood pressure at least 30 minutes after eating, smoking, or consuming caffeinated beverages. It is also a good idea to have sat quietly for 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
● Is the cuff connected correctly to the device? Check that the cuff is connected properly.
● Is your finger placed correctly on the AFib sensor area? Check that your finger covers the entire sensor area. The finger should be placed 'lightly' on it.
● Did you move your finger before the measurement was finished? Let your finger rest on the sensor area until the result appears on the display.
If you find that the cuff is becoming porous or the connection between the tube and the device is not airtight, this can cause error messages or inaccurate results. It is possible to purchase and replace spare parts so you can continue to enjoy your device for many years to come.
If your device has been dropped or subjected to impact, this can affect the readings, in which case calibration would be a good idea. You can read more about calibration here.
