How To Take Proper Measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure
measurement:
Sit comfortably at as table.
Rest your arm on the table.
Relax before measurement.
Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest before taking
the measurement.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be
alarmed)
After Measurement
After measurement, press the START button to turn off the power.
Remove the cuff and record your data.
Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the

Measurements
Model UA-782 is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the cuff to a
systolic pressure level automatically.
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, read
"Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure" on the next page.
Normal Measurement
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
Sit quietly during measurement.
2. Press the START button.
The average blood pressures and last data
number are displayed briefly.
Then the display changes, as indicated in
the figure at the right, as the measurement
begins. The cuff starts to inflate. It is
normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
A pressure bar indicator is displayed, as in
the figure at the right, during inflation.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time,
press the START button again.
3. When inflation is complete, deflation starts
automatically and the (heart mark)
blinks, indicating that the measurement is
in progress. Once the pulse is detected,
the mark blinks with each pulse beat.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not
obtained, the device starts to inflate
again automatically.
4. When the measurement is complete, the
systolic and diastolic pressure readings and
pulse rate are displayed. The cuff exhausts
the remaining air and deflates completely.
5. Press the START button again to turn
off the power.
Note: Model UA-782 is provided with an automatic power shut-off
function. Take a rest between measurements on the same person.

Measurements
Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg,
use this procedure.
1. Place the cuff on the arm
(preferably the left arm).
2. Press and hold the START button until
a number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher
than your expected systolic pressure
appears.
3. Release the START button to start
measurement, when the desired number
is reached. Then continue to measure
your blood pressure as described on the
previous page.
Notes For Proper 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 before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by
emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or
lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will
usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4 for the
description of the symbols.
This device is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your
physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use this
device unattended.

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat
Model UA-782 provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement
even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is
defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all
heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is important that
you be relaxed, remain still and do not talk during measurements.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
indicator frequently.
Pressure Bar Indicator
The indicator monitors the progress of pressure during measurement.
WHO Classification Indicator
Each six segments of the bar indicator
correspond to the WHO blood pressure
classification described on the next page.

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). One's natural blood pressure is
represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing
in the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.
What Is Hypertension And How Is It Controlled?
Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left
unattended, can cause many health problems including stroke and heart
attack. Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding
stress, and with medication under a doctor’s supervision.
To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:
Do not smoke Exercise regularly
Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups
Maintain proper weight
Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home?
Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause
apprehension and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher
than that measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of
outside influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's
readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.
WHO Blood Pressure Classification
Standards to assess high blood
pressure, without regard to age,
have been established by the
World Health Organization
(WHO), as shown in the chart.
Blood Pressure Variations
An individual’s blood pressure
varies greatly on a daily and
seasonal basis. It may vary by
30 to 50 mmHg due to various
conditions during the day. In hypertensive individuals’ variations are
even more pronounced. Normally, the blood pressure rises while at work
or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep. So, do not be overly
concerned by the results of one measurement.
Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure

14
described in this manual to get to know your
normal blood pressure.
Regular readings give a more comprehensive
blood pressure history. Be sure to note date
and time when recording your blood pressure.
Consult your doctor to interpret your blood
pressure data.
