GREETINGS
This A&D blood pressure monitor is one of the most
advanced monitors available and is designed for ease of
use and accuracy. This device will facilitate your daily blood
pressure regimen.
We recommend that you read through this manual carefully
before using the device for the rst time.

INTENDED USE
LifeSource 1200 UltraConnect wireless blood pressure
monitor is designed for adult at home or clinic use. It
measures systolic, diastolic, and pulse rate. It uses the
oscillometric method to determine blood pressure. If the user
has a massive body movement or irregular heartbeats, a
heart symbol will be shown on the app display. At the end of
the measurement, the blood pressure results are compared
with JNC VII hypertension classication. The rating is also
displayed. The device has Bluetooth®low energy wireless
(BLE) communication capability with Smart devices. It ts
arm size from 22 to 42 cm.

PRELIMINARY REMARKS
• This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and
contains the FCC ID VPYLBZY.
• This device is designed for use on adults only, and is not
intended for infants.
• This device is designed for use in the home healthcare
environment to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of
people for diagnosis.
PRECAUTIONS
• Precision components are used in the construction of this
device. Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight,
shock or dust should be avoided.
• Clean the device and cuff with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use
alcohol, benzene, thinner or other harsh chemicals to clean
the device or cuff.
• The device and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain,
sweat and water from soiling the device and cuff.
• Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close
to televisions, microwave ovens, X-ray or other devices with
strong electrical elds.
• When using the device, conrm that it is clean.
• Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as
ordinary household waste, and must be disposed of according
to the applicable local regulations.
• Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or
damage to the device.

PRECAUTIONS
• To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by
the cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood ow through
the artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary
red mark to the arm. This condition will appear especially
when measurement is repeated successively. Any pain,
numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.
• If you feel strong pain during the measurement, please
remove the cuff.
• Measuring blood pressure too frequently may cause harm
due to blood ow interference.
• Do not apply the cuff on a arm in which another medical
device is attached. The equipment may not function properly.
• People who have a severe circulatory decit in the arm
must consult a doctor before using the device, to avoid
medical problems.
• Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and
start treatment by yourself. Always consult your doctor for
evaluation of the results and treatment.
• Do not apply the cuff on a arm with an unhealed wound.
• Do not apply the cuff on a arm receiving an intravenous
drip or blood transfusion. It may cause injury.
• Do not use the device where ammable gases, such as
anesthetic gases, are present. It may cause an explosion.
• Do not use the device in highly concentrated oxygen
environments, such as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an
oxygen tent. It may cause a re or explosion.

PRECAUTIONS
• This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operations.
• When the AC adapter is used, make sure that it can be
readily removed from the electrical outlet when necessary.
• Sometimes, the temperature of the cuff will be about 50°C.
If you feel hot, please remove the cuff.
• Please do not simultaneous use HF surgical equipment.
• Clinical testing has not conducted on pregnant women.
Do not use on the device on pregnant women.
• If you have had a mastectomy, please consult a doctor
before using the device.
• Do not let children use the device by themselves and do
not leave the device within the reach of children.
• There are small parts that my cause a chocking hazard if
swallowed by mistake by infants.
• Do not touch the batteries and the patient at the same
time. That may result in electrical shock.

E-13
USING THE MONITOR
Wireless Function
In the unlikely event that this monitor causes radio wave
interference to a different wireless station, change the
location where this monitor is used or stop use immediately.
Be sure to use in a location where visibility between the two
devices that you want to connect is good. The connection
distance is reduced by the structure of buildings or other
obstructions. In particular, connection may be impossible
when devices are used on either side of reinforced concrete.
Do not use the Bluetooth®connection in the range of a
wireless LAN or other wireless devices, near devices that
emit radio waves such as microwaves, in locations where
there are many obstructions, or in other locations where
signal strength is weak. Doing so may result in frequent loss
of connection, very slow communication speeds and errors.
Using close to an IEEE802.11g/b/n wireless LAN device
may cause mutual interference to occur, which may result
in reduced communication speeds or which may prevent
connection. In this case, switch off the power supply to
the device that is not being used, or use the monitor in a
different location.
If the monitor does not connect normally when used near
a wireless station or broadcast station, use the monitor in
a different location.
A&D Medical cannot accept liability for any damages
incurred due to impaired operation or data loss, etc. that
occur through the use of this product.
This product is not guaranteed to connect to all Bluetooth®
compatible devices.

the device has reached the 6 user max.
Note: If new user uses the same mobile device, then re-pairing is not required as
this has been complete.
CAUTION!
The communication distance between this monitor and the
receiver device is about 33 feet (10m). This distance can be
reduced by the conditions in the surrounding environment,
so be sure to check that the distance is short enough for a
connection to be made after measurement is complete.

Tips for a Good Measurement
• Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used
for the measurement on a table or other support so that the
center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.
• Relax for several moments before measurement.
• Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.
• Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm
to measure pressure.
• Do not talk during measurement.
• Do not measure immediately after physical exercise or a bath.
Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to
measurement.
• The automatic blood pressure monitor’s performance may be
affected by excessive temperature or humidity, or altitude.
