Blood Pressure Monitor
User Manual

Foreword
Dear user :
Thank you for choosing the easy@Home blood pressure monitor
(EBP-020). Please read this manual carefully before use and keep
for future reference. The blood pressure monitor is suitable for
adults. People 12~18 years old should be accompanied by an adult
when taking measurements.
Summary :
The blood pressure monitor consists of the main body and a large
cuff. It is suitable for measurement of human systolic pressure,
diastolic blood pressure and pulse. The blood pressure values
obtained by this equipment are equivalent to those measured with
the auscultatory method. (The auscultatory method is auscultatory
method where a trained healthcare provider uses a blood pressure
meter and listens for the blood flow sounds using a stethoscope.)
The blood pressure monitor includes intelligent pressurization,
automatically pressurizing to an appropriate pressure value accord-
ing to your blood pressure, effectively reducing the discomfort
caused by incorrect pressure, shortening the measuring time, and
prolonging the service life of the cuff.
The blood pressure monitor is equipped with the memory capacity of
99 measurements each for two users, and the data of the two users
can be saved separately.

(1)Before Measurement:
(2)Precautions for most accurate results
--Keep the conditions of your measurements consistent.
--The measurement should be carried out in a quiet environment.
Avoid eating, smoking or any form of heavy physical labor, as it will
affect the measurement result.
Sit on a chair to have a rest for about 10min in a quiet environment.
Clear the clothing from the arm for measurement.
Also, measure the same arm for consistency (generally the left arm,
because the left arm is closer to the heart). Measure at approximate-
ly the same time each day because can change throughout the day.
Requirement: Please read the user manuals carefully before use.

2. Place the cuff on the upper arm for measurement, match the " "
symbol to the location of your artery, and make sure the cuff tube
points downward toward lower arm.
3. Apply the cuff to the upper arm to ensure that the lower edge of the
cuff is 2-3 cm from the elbow and the air tube is located on the inner
(3)How to use the cuff
1. Lay the cuff flat on the table with the " " symbol toward the bottom
of the cuff, and pass the end of the cuff through the metal ring to form
a circle. At this time, the hook and loop of the cuff will face the
outside. (Skip this step if the ring has already been formed by the
cuff).
--Exerting your arm may increase your blood pressure, so make sure
you are in a comfortable and relaxed state before measurement. Do
not move or exercise the muscles of your arm during the measure-
ment. If necessary, a cushion can be used to support your arm.
--Be sure the cuff is at the level of your heart. If the cuff is placed
below or above the heart, the measurement results will be incorrect.
--Please use the original cuff that has passed the clinical test! If you
use a component that is not supplied by the manufacturer, it may
cause errors in measurement.
--A loose cuff or exposed inflatable air cuff bag will lead to wrong
measurement values.
--Back-to-back measurements can cause an increased concentra-
tion of blood in the arm, which will affect the measurement results.
Pause to rest for another 5 minutes between measurements or raise
your arm for a minute or so, so that the blood concentration returns
to normal, and then repeat the measurements.

side of the arm.
4. Tighten the cuff and secure it with the Velcro.
5. The cuff should be comfortably wrapped around the upper arm,
with the elasticity space of two fingers. Remove any clothing (e.g
pullover) that restricts your arm before measurement.
6. Place the lower arm on the table with the palm facing upward. Sit
with a straight back, and make the center of the cuff and the heart at
the same height. Please note that the rubber tube on the cuff cannot
be folded or bent.
Note: If your left arm cannot be used for measurement, please use
your right arm. But in any case, all measurements must be made on
the same arm for the convenience of measurement comparison.

to zero. The air pump starts to inflate the cuff, and the change of air
pressure in the cuff will be displayed on the screen.
2. When inflated to a stable pressure, it will stop inflating. The
pressure in the cuff will decrease gradually and be displayed on the
screen. When the air pressure is insufficient, the machine will
automatically reinflate to a higher pressure.
3. When the pulse is detected, the screen will display the "heart "
symbol and start flashing.
4. At the end of the measurement, the systolic pressure, diastolic
pressure, and pulse measurements will be displayed on the screen.
5. The screen will continue to display the measurement results,
unless you press the "On / Off " key to turn off the machine. When
not in operation, the machine will be shutdown automatically after 30
seconds.
Note:After measurement, the measurement results (systolic pressure,
diastolic pressure, pulse, measurement completion time, current user
group, whether the heart rate is irregular) will automatically be saved to
memory.

the body. When the heart beats, it creates pressure that pushes blood
through a network of tube-shaped blood vessels, which include arteries,
veins and capillaries. This pressure — blood pressure — is the result of
two forces: The first force (systolic pressure) occurs as blood pumps out
of the heart and into the arteries that are part of the circulatory system.
The second force (diastolic pressure) is created as the heart rests
between heart beats.
(2)Classification standard of blood pressure
WHO (World Health Organization) standard blood pressure values
are shown below as a guideline for Hypertension (high blood pressure).

(1)Warnings:
Do not let a child below 12 years old and the people who can’t
express their intention use the device. People of 12~18 years
old should be accompanied by an adult when taking measure-
ments. This device has not been tested for use by pregnant
women.
Hypotension (low blood pressure) has not been defined. It is general-
ly considered that high pressure lower than l00mmHg (13. 3kPa) is
defined as hypotension.
7. Contraindications, Precautions, Warnings
and Prompt Instructions

-14-
Make sure there is no connection tube kinking before starting
measurement to avoid potential injuries.
For any patient, do not measure more than 3 times continuously;
there should be at least 5 minutes of interval rest between any
two measurements, otherwise it may cause extravasated blood.
Do not apply the cuff over a wound, as this can cause further
injury.
Do not use the cuff on an arm with an invasive treatment device
or arteriovenous shunt.
Please use the cuff following the user manual, and pay special
attention to the use of the hose, to avoid twisting or twining due
to excessive length.
Do not use the cuff for a long period of time, to avoid a possible
allergic reaction.
If an incorrect reading appears, check the instructions and check
for equipment failure.
Do not make a self-diagnosis according to the measurement
results. Please consult your doctor about the measurement
result.
If you are taking medications, please follow the doctor’s advice.
For those with a peripheral circulation disorder caused by
certain diseases, there might be significant difference in the
blood pressure value measured on the wrist and upper arm.

-15-
Please do not use a mobile phone, computer, electric kettle or
any other devices that may cause interference with the monitor
while the devices is in use. Please do not use the device around
a magnetic field.
Do not make measurements 1h after meals or immediately after
strenuous exercise, showering, smoking, drinking alcohol, or
drinking coffee or black tea.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor for any purpose other
than blood pressure measurement.
Please use the blood pressure monitor under the guidance of
doctor.
This model of blood pressure monitor is suitable for the arm
circumference range of 22-42cm. If your arm is beyond this
range, you might not obtain an accurate measurement.
This model of blood pressure monitor is not suitable for
newborns or young children.
The blood pressure is constantly changing. You cannot rely on
only one blood pressure measurement result to judge the blood
pressure condition. Repeated measurement data over a period
of time will be more reliable.
Do not bind too tightly. For best measurement, put one finger in.
If you do not bind correctly or put it in place, you might not obtain
the correct blood pressure measurement.
Do not use the device if you have sickle cell disease or an area
of with a wound.

(2)Precautions:
Do not repair, disassemble or modify the Blood pressure monitor
without permission.
Do not drop or knock into the machine.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor immediately after it has
been in temperatures below 32℉. It should be in the environ-
ment at the temperature of 41℉-104℉ and the humidity of ≤
80% for an hour before use.
When the device has been in an environment of temperatures
exceeding room temperature, up to 131℉, wait 1 hour with the
device in a room temperature environment before use.
Do not pull the cuff forcefully or use the cuff as a rag.
Do not be contaminate with dust or any liquid.
Do not touch the device while taking the measurement.
Remove the battery when the product is left unused for a long
time.

(3)Indicative description
Q1.Why is the blood pressure measured at home lower than that measured
in hospitals?
The patient is an intended operator.
During blood pressure measurement, make sure the measured
arm is at the same level at the heart.
Indoor temperature, environment, noise, subject's body position,
speech or exercise might have an effect on the blood pressure
measurement.
We do not recommend that the following patients use this
device: those with a weak pulse, severe upper gastrointestinal
bleeding or severe arteriosclerosis or elderly with poor peripher-
al circulation, particularly patients with peripheral vascular lesion
caused by complicated severe diabetes.
In case of rescue of seriously ill patients, diagnosis of hyperten-
sion and direction of hypertensive medication, use the blood
pressure monitor with caution.
1. Blood pressure measured at home is 20 mmHg-30 mmHg (2. 7
kPa-4. 0 kPa) lower than that measured in hospitals. It is because
people are often nervous when measured in hospitals, while they
tend to be in a stable mood when measured at home.
2. If the cuff is placed in a position above the heart, the measured
blood pressure is low, so please measure in the correct posture.
