1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. MEDEL CHECK Features
MEDEL CHECK is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device with
integrated Average mode - CHECK3 technology for use on the upper arm. MEDEL
CHECK enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic
blood pressure as well your pulse by use of the oscillometric method.
Average mode - CHECK3 technology is a new type of concept for optimum relia-
bility in self-measurement of blood pressure.
MEDEL CHECK is easy to use and is proven in clinical studies to provide excellent
accuracy. This device is validated by a protocol (Protocol for the evaluation of
blood pressure measuring) created by the British Hypertension Society. MEDEL
CHECK has obtained, thanks to its accuracy, the highest evaluation level:
Systolic pressure - A Degree
Diastolic pressure - A Degree
Before using MEDEL CHECK, please read through this instruction manual
carefully and then keep it in a safe place. For further questions on the subject of
blood pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.
Attention!
1.2. Important information about check-measurement
• Do not forget: self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment.
Unusual values must always be discussed with your doctor.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs pre-
scribed by your doctor.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pace-
makers!
• In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
