IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Readings taken by the AvantiaTM BPM-80 blood pressure monitor are equivalent to
those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff and stethoscope auscultation
method. This manual contains important safety and care information, and provides
step by step instruction for using the product. Read this manual thoroughly before
using the monitor.
Your physician’s reading may sometimes differ from your home readings. This
could be related to a phenomenon known as “white coat syndrome”. You should
not assume that any single reading taken is your usual blood pressure.
In fact, blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day. Common
activities affect your level of heart activity and stress, thereby inuencing your
blood pressure.
Note: It is important that you take home readings regularly, and that you follow
the procedures and precautions mentioned in the instruction manual. Consistently
recording your readings, along with regularly consulting a health professional, is
an important aspect of your overall blood pressure management program.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• This Blood Pressure Monitor does not replace examination
by a physician. As your doctor is the one person best
 qualiedtointerpretyourresults,werecommendthat
you keep a blood pressure journal to bring to your visits
to your healthcare professional.
• This device is intended for use by adults only.
• This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and
monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended
for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions
other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
•Donotconfuseself-monitoringwithself-diagnosis.
 Thisunitallowsyoutomonitoryourbloodpressure.
Do not begin or end medical treatment based solely
 onreadingsobtainedfromthisdevice.Alwaysconsult
a physician before starting any treatment.
•Ifyouaretakingmedication,consultyourphysicianto
determine the most appropriate time to measure your
blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication
 withoutconsultingyourphysician.
•Ifthecu󰀨pressureexceeds37.24kPa(280mmHg),the

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
The Joint National Committee on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment
of high blood pressure has developed a blood pressure standard, according
to which areas of low and high risk blood pressure are identied. This standard
is a guideline as blood pressure varies among different people and different
age groups.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician
will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which
you will be considered at risk.
Blood Pressure Standard
Blood Pressure for Adults Age 18 and Older
Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Stage 2 Hypertension > 160 or > 100
Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
Normal < 120 and < 80

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
When your heart beats, it
contracts and pushes blood
through the arteries to the
rest of your body. This force
creates pressure on the arteries.
This is called systolic pressure.
A normal systolic blood pressure
is below 120.
The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure
in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A normal diastolic blood
pressure number is less than 80.
What are systolic and diastolic pressure?
press
artery vein
blood discharging
Systolic
relax
blood entering
Diastolic
Blood pressure uctuates all the time! You should not be overly worried if you
encounter two or three measurements at high levels. Blood pressure changes
over the month and throughout the day.

Hereareafewhelpfultipstohelpyouobtainmore
accurate readings:
• Bloodpressurechangeswitheveryheartbeatand
 isinconstantuctuationthroughouttheday.
• Bloodpressurereadingscanbea󰀨ectedbythe
 positionoftheuser,hisorherphysiologicalcondition
 andotherfactors.Formoreaccurateresults,waitone
 hourafterexercising,bathing,eating,drinkingbeverages
 withalcoholorca󰀨eine,orsmokingtomeasure
blood pressure.
• Beforemeasurement,it’ssuggestedthatyousitquietly
for 15 minutes as measurement taken during a relaxed
 statewillhavegreateraccuracy.Youshouldnotbe
 physicallytiredorexhaustedwhiletakingameasurement.
• Duringmeasurement,donottalkormoveyourarm
or hand muscles.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature.
 Ifyouarefeelingcoldorhot,waitawhilebeforetaking
a measurement.
• Ifthemonitorisstoredatverylowtemperature(near
 freezing),haveitplacedatawarmlocationforatleast
four hours before using it.
• Waitabout5minutesbetweenreadingsforaccurateresults.
