INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the upper arm Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. This
remarkable instrument is ideal for people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure
because it's easy to use. Simply push of a button the monitor measures your blood
pressure and pulse and displays the reading on a clear digital panel. Perfect for quick, easy
readings at home, at work, almost anywhere!
The Monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means
the monitor detects your blood's movement through the artery in your arm and converts the
movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so
the monitor is simple to use and measurements are easy to obtain.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the wrist and
blood pressure in the arm. Changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood
pressure because the arteries in the wrist and the arm connect. Frequently measuring the
blood pressure in your arm will provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication of
changes in your actual blood pressure.
The product complies with the electromagnetic compatibility requirement of EN60601-1-2
and safety standards of 60601-1 as specified in EEC directive 93/42/EEC.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the upper arm Automatic Blood
Pressure
Monitor. For specific information on your own blood pressure, CONTACT YOUR
DOCTOR.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows
through them.
Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts,
or beats, it
sends a surge of blood through the blood vessels and
pressure increases. This is called your systolic
pressure.
When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood
pressure decreases. This is called your diastolic
pressure.
When a doctor takes your blood pressure,
he or she
measures both your systolic and diastolic pressures
and records them as numbers. For example, if your
blood pressure reading is 126/76 (126 over 76), your
systolic is 126 and your diastolic is 76. The numbers
are calculated in millimetres of mercury and recorded
as 126/76 mm Hg.
These two numbers provide important information
about your health. The more difficult it is for your blood
to flow through your blood vessels, the higher both
numbers will be. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called
hypertension (High blood pressure).
The Blood Pressure Monitor automatically measures your systolic and diastolic blood
pressure for you, then displays the results on easy-to-read digital panel!
People with a condition that causes circulatory problems (diabetes,
kidney disease,
arteriosclerosis, or poor peripheral circulation) may get lower readings with wrist type
monitor than with a blood pressure monitor that is used on the upper arm. Please consult
your physician to determine if your wrist blood pressure accurately reflects your actual
blood pressure.
Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure fluctuates
from day to day and
minute to minute according to your body's needs. For example, when you are exercising or
angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping
your blood
pressure decreases. These fluctuations are completely
normal. This blood pressure monitor
is especially helpful when tracking changes in your blood pressure because it takes just
seconds to use.

Note: There is not an universally accepteddefinition of hypotension (low blood pressure),
but a systolic pressure below 99 mmHg is usually regarded as hypotension.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
1. Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnoses. Blood pressure
measurements should only be interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with
your medical history.
2. If you are taking medication, consult with your doctor to determinethe
mostappropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change aprescribed
medication without first consulting with your doctor.
3. For people with irregular or unstable peripheral circulation problems due
to diabetes, liver disease,hardening of the arteries, etc., there may be fluctuation in
blood pressure values measured at the upper arm versus at the wrist.
4. This device is designed for adults to use .If use this device ona child patient, old people
or toddlers, consult with your doctor or measure with relative aid.

2. Insert four "AA" alkaline batteries in the correct polarity direction.
5. When the battery icon displays on the LCD, please replace four new alkaline
"AA"
batteries, please do not mix the new and old battery together.
6. If the unit will not be used for a long period, please take out all batteries to avoid liquid
leakage
damaging the unit.
TIME AND DATE OF SYSTEM SETUP
1. Press "POWER" key to turn on.
2. Press and hold "SET" key until the year number displays and flashes on LCD to enter
setting mode.
3. Press" " or " " key to adjust the year, then press " SET " key
again to save your setting and enter the

Note: Please check and re-set Date/Time after
replacing of new batteries.
1. Pass the end of the cuff (with sewn-in rubber
stopper) through the metal stirrup so that a
loop is formed. The Velcro closer must be
facing outwards. (Ignore this step if the cuff
has already been setup.)
2. Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that

3. Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make
certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies
approximately 2 to 3 cm (3/4~1") above the
elbow and that the rubber tube leaves the cuff
on the inner side of the arm.
Important! The mark (about 3 cm long bar)
must lie exactly over the artery which runs
down the inner side of the arm.
4. Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the
cuff with the closer.
5. There must be no free space between the arm
and the cuff as this would influence the result.
Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of
clothing which does (e.g. a pullover) must be
taken off.
6. Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in such a
way that it lies comfortably and is not too tight.
Lay the arm on the table (palm upwards) so
that the cuff is at the same height as the heart.
Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
7. Remain seated quietly for two minutes before
you begin the measurement.
COMMENT:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed on the right arm.
However all measurements should be made using the same arm for better cross reference.
A FEW SUGGESTIONS BEFORE MEASUREMENT
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Also rest for at least 15 minutes before taking a reading.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful
times.
3. You would better apply the cuff on your left upper arm.
4. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be relaxed, seated position.
Rest your left arm on a table.
5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse for your doctor. Remember, a single
measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You
need to take and record several measurements over a period of time. Try to measure
your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency. Blood pressure
measurements fluctuate considerably.
7. Wait 5-10 minutes between successive measurements.
Waiting allows the engorged blood
vessels to return to normal. You may require more rest time depending on your individual
physical conditions.
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
1. Set up the cuff to your upper arm as previous section of "How to use the upper arm cuff".
2. Press the "POWER" button, all icons appear two seconds on DISPLAY, then switch to
measurement mode,and display "0" or last measurement record.
3. Press "START" button to start measurement, the cuff in the strap will automatically inflate.
When the value on LCD increases to around 150-200 (mmHg), and start to release the
air, and
decrease pressure in the cuff automatically when it senses the heart beat, the
mark ( )
will flash on LCD.
