INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. This
remarkable instrument is ideal for people who frequently monitor their own
blood pressure because it's so compact and easy to use. There is no tricky
arm cuff, just a small, pre-formed wrist cuff that is easy to apply. with the
push of a button the portable wrist 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 Portable Wrist Monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood
pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood's
movement through the artery in your wrist 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 wrist 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 Portable
Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. For specific information on your own blood
pressure, CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

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.
Heart Contracts
(Pressure Increases)
Heart Relaxes
(Pressure Decreases)

-5- -6-
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).
Our new Portable Wrist 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 portable wrist blood pressure
monitor is especially helpful when tacking changes in your blood pressure
because it travels anywhere and takes just seconds to use.
Systolic
(Upper Number)
Diastolic
(Lower Number)
Note: One or two readings will not provide a true indication of your normal
blood pressure. It is very important to take regular, daily
measurements and to keep accurate records. In partnership with
your doctor, an accurate record of your blood pressure over a period
of time can be a valuable aid in diagnosing and preventing potential
health problems.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) developed the following Blood
Pressure Classification. This classification, however, is only a general
guideline because blood pressure varies from person to person according
to age, weight, and health status. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN TO
DETERMINE YOUR NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.

Note: There is not an universally accepted definition 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 physician to determine the
most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change
a prescribed medication without first consulting with your physician.
3. For persons 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 on a child
patient, old people or toddlers, consult with your physician or measure
with relative aid.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS BEFORE
BLOOD PRESSURE 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. The cuff should be applied on your left wrist.
4. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be relaxed ,
seated position. Rest your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at the
same level as your heart.
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.
WRIST MONITOR QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before
taking a measurement. Also rest at least 15 minutes before taking your
first measurement.
2. Apply the cuff so that the monitor is on the inside of your left wrist with
the digital display in easy view.
3. Wrap the cuff snugly around your wrist so that the top and bottom edges of
the cuff are tightened evenly around your wrist. Secure the cuff in place
by pressing the pile material firmly against the sewn hook material.
4. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your left arm on a
table and using the store box or other object as a support so that the cuff
is at the same level as your heart.
5. Press the "POWER" button to enter.
6. After all marks display two seconds on LCD, enter the measurement
mode, press the "START" button to start measurement.
7. Finally the LCD displays systolic value, diastolic value, and pulse/min value.
8. Wait for 5-10 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement.
You may require more rest time depending on your individual physical
conditions.
HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT
Please read "A few suggestions before blood pressure measurement" and
"How to apply the wrist cuff" before taking a measurement.
1.Taking measurements while sitting down
1) Place your elbow on a table.
2) Using the store box or other object as a support, position your wrist
at heart level.
3) Relax your hand and keep palm facing up.
4) Press the "POWER" button, icons appear in two seconds on LCD, then
switch to measurement mode, And display "0" or last measurement
record.

increase to around 150-200mmHg, it start to decrease and the air
pressure cuff is then automatically released, when it senses your pulse,
the mark ( ) displays on LCD.
6) After measurement the screen will display systolic value, diastolic value,
pulse/min value, it will automatically store the measured results.
7) Press "POWER" button to turn off the unit.
* Even if you forget to press the "POWER" button, power will
turn off automatically in approximately 2.5 minutes.
*This monitor can be stored with the air plug. Do not apply
force on the air tube.
Note:
*
The value measured will be too low if you hold your hand higher than
your heart lever or too high if you hold your hand lower than your
heart lever.
* Do not bend your wrist inward.
