SMART blood pressure monitoring
The Seagull SMART blood pressure monitor makes measuring blood pressure easy:
● Blood pressure is measured on the upper arm, where it is easiest to obtain an accurate reading.
● The monitor attaches directly to the cuff, so there is no need to find a place for the device during measurement or struggle with a connecting tube.
The Seagull SMART Blood Pressure Monitor (FDBP-A13) is designed for optimal use both at home and while traveling. This device is CE-marked as a medical device and is validated for individuals with upper arm circumferences ranging from 22 cm to 42 cm. The Seagull SMART blood pressure monitor provides accurate readings based on reliable, recognized measurement methods.
The device features a large, user-friendly display with clear, easy-to-read text.
Correct cuff placement check
The device automatically checks if the cuff is applied/fitted correctly before a measurement. During this check, a cuff icon appears on the display. The device also checks for excessive movement during the measurement. If the unit detects movement, a person-moving icon is shown on the display.
Blood pressure monitor memory
The Seagull DBP-6179 blood pressure monitor features a function that keeps readings for 2 people separate. This makes it easy to track blood pressure even when sharing the device. You separate the readings by selecting the user before starting the measurement. It is possible to store up to 150 readings for each user. When the memory is full, the oldest reading is overwritten.
Rechargeable battery
The Seagull SMART blood pressure monitor FDBP-A13 features a built-in 3.7V polymer lithium-ion battery. This makes it easy to ensure the device is always powered, as a Type-C charging cable is included.

Calibration
According to the Danish Medicines Agency and the manufacturer, it is not necessary to calibrate the blood pressure monitor if it is used for home use. However, if it has been dropped or subjected to impact, this can lead to inaccurate measurements, and a calibration would be a good idea.
If you wish to have your blood pressure monitor calibrated, this can be done by us, and we can ensure that it measures correctly.
Calibration costs 250 DKK, including VAT, and can be purchased

If you are experiencing error messages or inaccurate readings, there may be several reasons for this:
● Has the user been active, eating/drinking, or smoking? Blood pressure can fluctuate significantly throughout the day and is 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 important to sit quietly for 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
● Is the cuff applied correctly? Not too loose, not too tight, 2-3 cm above the elbow crease.
● Was the user sitting correctly during the measurement? Without crossed legs, relaxed in a chair with back support, and the arm resting on a table with the cuff at heart level.
● Was the user sitting still during the measurement? You must not move or talk during the measurement. It is important to be as relaxed as possible.
● Is the cuff connected correctly to the device? Check that the cuff is connected properly.
If you find that the cuff is becoming porous or that 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, allowing you to enjoy your device for many years to come.
If your device has been dropped or subjected to impact, this can affect the measurements, and a calibration would be a good idea.
