Greetings
Congratulations on purchasing a state-of-the-art A&D blood pressure
monitor. Designed for ease of use and accuracy, this monitor will facilitate
your daily blood pressure regimen. We recommend that you read through
this manual carefully before using the monitor for the rst time.
Intended Use
• The monitor is designed for use on adults only. Do not use on newborns
or infants.
• Environment for use. The monitor is intended for use in the home
healthcare environment.
• This monitor is designed to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of
people for diagnosis.
Precautions
• Precision components are used in the construction of this monitor.
Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, shock or dust should
be avoided.
• Clean the monitor 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 monitor or cuff.
• Avoid tightly folding the cuff or storing the hose tightly twisted for long
periods, as such treatment may shorten the life of the components.
• The monitor and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and
water from soiling the monitor and cuff.
• Measurements may be distorted if the monitor is used close to televisions,
microwave ovens, cellular telephones, X-ray or other devices with strong
electrical elds.
• When using the monitor, conrm that the monitor 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.

Precautions
• When the AC adapter is used, make sure that the AC adapter can be
readily removed from the electrical outlet when necessary.
• Do not modify the monitor. It may cause accidents or damage to the
monitor.
• 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.
• Do not apply the cuff on an 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 monitor, 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 an arm with an unhealed wound.
• Do not apply the cuff on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood
transfusion. It may cause injury or accidents.
• Do not use the monitor where ammable gases such as anesthetic gases
are present. It may cause an explosion.
• Do not use the monitor in highly concentrated oxygen environments, such
as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an oxygen tent. It may cause a re
or explosion.
• Take care to avoid accidental strangulation of babies or infants with the
hose and cable.
• Do not twist the air hose during measurement. This may cause injury due
to continuous cuff pressure.
• Wireless communication devices, such as home networking devices,
mobile phones, cordless phones and their base stations, walkie-talkies
can affect this blood pressure monitor. Therefore, a minimum distance of
30 cm (12") should be kept from such devices.

• Measuring blood pressure too frequently may cause harm due to blood
ow interference. Check that the operation of the monitor does not result
in prolonged impairment of blood circulation, when using the monitor
repeatedly.
• Clinical testing has not been conducted on newborn infants and pregnant
woman.
• If you have had a mastectomy, please consult a doctor before using the
monitor.
• Do not let children use the monitor by themselves and do not use the
monitor in a place within the reach of infants. It may cause accidents or
damage.
• There are small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by
mistake by infants.
• Do not touch the batteries, the DC jack and the patient at the same time.
That may result in electrical shock.
• Unplug the AC adapter when not in use during the measurement.
• Use of accessories not detailed in this manual may compromise safety.
• Should the battery short-circuit, it may become hot and potentially cause
burns.
• Allow the monitor to adapt to the surrounding environment before use
(about one hour).
• Do not inate without wrappping the cuff around the upper arm.

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. If the
cuff is not the proper size, the reading may yield an incorrect blood pressure
value.
• The arm size is printed on each cuff.
• The index and proper t range, on the cuff, tell you if you are applying the
correct cuff. (Note: the SmoothFit Cuff, UA-392A, does not have the index
symbol)
• If the index points outside of the range, contact your local dealer to
purchase a replacement cuff. The arm cuff is a consumable. If it becomes
worn, purchase a new one.
Catalog Number Recommended Cuff Size Arm Size

Taking your Blood Pressure
This blood pressure monitor is designed to detect the pulse and to inate
the cuff to a systolic pressure level automatically.
Tips for Taking Blood Pressure
Before Your Measurement:
• For 30 minutes prior to taking your blood pressure
»Do not exercise
»Do not drink coffee, caffeinated soda or alcohol
»Do not smoke
• Sit quietly for 5-10 minutes
• Ensure you are using the right size cuff
During Your Measurement:
• Do not talk
• Sit with your back straight and supported
• Uncross your legs and place feet at on oor
• Rest arm on a table so that the cuff is at heart level
• Measure two times a day, in the morning and evening
Notes for Accurate Measurement
• This monitor bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the monitor may have difculty determining
your blood pressure.
• Should the monitor detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to the section "Symbols"
for the description of the symbols.
• If you have emotional stress, the measurement will reect 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.
