English

Braun PrecisionSensor pro is a blood pressure monitor that has been
developed for easy and accurate blood pressure measurements at the wrist.
The accuracy of the product has been tested at the time of manufacture.
Measurements can be saved.
For reliable measurements, blood pressure monitors should always be
positioned at an appropriate measuring position at heart level.
Therefore the Braun PrecisionSensor pro has an active positioning system
that guides the patient's arm via arrows on the display to the appropriate
measuring position at heart level.
However, to ensure accurate results, carefully read these
instructions.
Hypertension in the medical practice
Hypertension is very critical as risk factor for a number of cardiovascular
related diseases. Thus, it is one of the main risk factors for stroke, coronary
heart disease, cardiac insufficiency and renal disease.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 20 % of the
world's adult populations has high blood pressure. The prevalence is even
higher in the older population segments resulting in up to 50 % of people
affected by hypertension.
These data reveal that blood pressure measurement plays a central role in
the medical practice either as screening method for undiagnosed individuals
or as treatment monitoring tool for diagnosed patients. Blood pressure
measurement in the practice represents the foundation for diagnosis and
therapy of hypertension apart from the widespread use of patient home
monitoring and special diagnostic procedures, such as Ambulatory Blood
Pressure Measurement (24-hour-measurement).
The importance of the blood pressure measurement in the practice's
environment calls for a high performance standard with regard to quality
and reliability of the professional measuring device. Braun PrecisionSensor
pro has been designed to meet these demanding requirements. The device
features a newly developed electronic positioning sensor that commands an
active positioning system enabling the user to reliably find the appropriate
measuring position at heart level. In this way accurate and reproducible
