HOW UA-1020 WORKS
A&D blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full
measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the "oscillometric method"
– a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term "oscillation" refers to
any measure of vibrations caused by the aterial pulse. Our monitor examines
the pulsatile pressure generated by the aterial wall as it expands and contracts
against the cuff with each heartbeat.
The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation speed is
maximized and the pressure level is optimized by the device. The monitor takes
measurements while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in a
faster measurement providing greater comfort to the user.
BEFORE YOU START
You must install 4 type A (1.5 volt) batteries (alkaline batteries recommended),
or use the AC Adapter (see page E-19 for using the Monitor with AC Adapter)
and attach the cuff to the monitor before using it. To install batteries (or replace
them if the "Low Battery" symbol appears on display), proceed as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment cover by gently pushing down on arrow and
sliding cover forward.
2. Put in bottom row of batteries first.
Place the batteries in compartment
with positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals matching those indicated in
the compartment. Be sure batteries make
contact with compartment terminals.
3. Replace cover by sliding it into the
compartment and gently pressing into
place.
NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended
for use with this monitor.
NOTE: Please dispose of batteries following local
regulations.

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that
is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood
pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than
the correct blood pressure. With your arm hanging at the side of your body,
measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between the
shoulder and elbow.
Our unique cuff is designed to accommodate a wide range of arm sizes,
from 9 – 14.6" (23 – 37 cm). The SlimFit™ cuff is designed to provide you
with a quick and comfortable fit. Just slide the cuff onto your upper arm
and secure – it’s that simple! For more detail, please read the section Taking
Your Blood Pressure (see pg. E-12).
If your arm circumference is greater than 14.6" (37 cm) or smaller than 9"
(23 cm), you will need to purchase a different size cuff than the one that is
included in this box. Please call A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada
please call 1-800-461-0991) for more information on our alternate cuff sizes.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.
Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs
when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury
(mmHg).
WHAT AFFECTS BLOOD PRESSURE?
Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity
level, climate, altitude and season. Certain activities can significantly alter
one’s blood pressure. Walking will likely raise an individual’s blood pressure.
Sleeping will likely decrease blood pressure. Not relaxing for several moments
before measurements can influence readings as well.
In addition to these factors, beverages containing caffeine or alcohol, certain
medications, emotional stress and even tight-fitting clothes can make a
difference in the readings.
WHAT CAUSES VARIATIONS IN BLOOD PRESSURE?
An individual’s blood pressure varies greatly from day to day and season
to season. For hypersensitive individuals, these variations are even more
pronounced. Normally, blood pressure rises during work or play and falls to its
lowest levels during sleep.

ASSESSING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE FOR ADULTS
The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age
or gender) have been established as a guideline. Please note that other risk factors

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings
consistently rise above normal. It is well known that hypertension can lead
to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent
killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the
problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early.
CAN HYPERTENSION BE CONTROLLED?
In many individuals, hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle and
minimizing stress, and by appropriate medication prescribed and monitored
by your doctor. The American Heart Association recommends the following
lifestyle suggestions to prevent or control hypertension:
Don’t smoke. Have regular
Reduce salt and fat intake. physical checkups.
Maintain proper weight. Monitor your blood
Exercise routinely. pressure at periodic
intervals.
WHY MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE AT HOME?
It is now well known that, for many individuals, blood pressure readings
taken in a doctor’s office or hospital setting might be elevated as a result of
apprehension and anxiety. This response is commonly called “white coat
hypertension.”
In any case, self-measurement at home supplements your doctor’s readings
and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history. In addition,
clinical studies have shown that the detection and treatment of hypertension is
improved when patients both consult their physicians and monitor their own
blood pressure at home.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
ANSWERS TO WHY YOUR READINGS ARE DIFFERENT BETWEEN HOME AND
AT THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE
Why are my readings different between home and at a doctor’s office?
Your blood pressure readings taken in a doctor’s office or hospital setting may be
elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is known as white
coat hypertension.
When I bring my monitor to a doctor’s office, why do I get a different
measurement from my monitor to that taken by a doctor or nurse?
The healthcare professional may be using a different sized cuff. The size of the
bladder inside the cuff is critical for the accuracy of the measurement. This may
give you a different reading. A cuff too large will produce a reading that is lower
than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that
is higher than the correct blood pressure. There may also be other factors that can
cause the difference in measurements.
KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL MONITORING:
Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day. We recommend that you are
consistent in your daily measurement routine:
• Measure at the same time every day.
• Sit in the same chair/position.
• Do not cross legs and keep your feet flat on the floor.
• Relax for several minutes before measurement.
• Use the correct cuff size to get an accurate reading.
• Sit still during measurement – no talking, eating or sudden movements.
• Record your measurement in a logbook.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
ESTABLISHING BASELINE MEASUREMENTS
The most important method to get an accurate blood pressure measurement
is consistency. To get the most benefit out of your monitor, it is important
to establish a “baseline measurement.” This helps build a foundation of
measurements that you can use to compare against future readings. To build
this baseline measurement, devote two weeks for consistent blood pressure
monitoring. This involves doing everything the same way when you measure
(e.g. measuring during the same time of day, in the same location, sitting in
the same chair, using the same cuff, etc.). Once you establish your baseline
measurement, you can start evaluating if your measurement has been affected
based on things like lifestyle changes or medication treatment.
HOW DO I RECORD MY BLOOD PRESSURE?
Blood pressure readings are typically recorded with the systolic pressure written
first, followed by a slash mark and the diastolic pressure. For example,
120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic measurements are written as 120/80.
Pulse is simply written with the letter “P” followed by the pulse rate—P 72,
for example. Please see the back of the manual for the blood pressure tracking
record.
