Introduction
Intended Use
The FORA ACTIVE Series Multi-mode Blood Pressure Monitoring
System is intended to be used to measure the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate by using a non-invasive
technique in which an inatable cu is wrapped on the upper
arm. Do not use this system on babies, young children or persons
who cannot express their consent.
Test Principle
Blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the arm based on
oscillometric method. For people of common arrhythmia, such
as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial brillation we
recommend to use auscultatory mode. The reading obtained
by single and average mode which use oscillometic method is
for reference only and should be discussed with the healthcare
professionals.

Testing Your Blood Pressure
Before Measument
• Avoid caeine, tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes
before measurement.
• Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before
measurement.
• Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.
• Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
• Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements. This
break can be longer if necessary, depending on your physical
conditions.
• Keep the records for your doctor as reference.
• Blood pressure varies between each arm. Always measure your
blood pressure on the same arm.
Fitting the Cu
1. Connect the air plug of the tubing to the air jack of the
device. (c)
2. Assemble the cu.
The smooth surface should be inside the cu loop and the
metal D-ring should not touch your skin.
Note:
• Before using the cu, be sure the cu size ts with your upper
arm circumference.
3. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your palm
facing up. Slide and place the cu onto your arm with the air
tube and artery mark region (in red) toward the lower arm.
Wrap and tighten the cu above your elbow. The red line on
the edge of the cu should be approximately 0.8 to 1.2 inches
(2 to 3 cm) above your elbow. Align the tube over the main
arteries on the inside. (d)
4. Leave a little free space between the arm and the cu. You
should be able to t 2 ngers between them.
5. Press the hook material rmly against the pile material. The
top and bottom edges of the cu should be tightened evenly
around your upper arm.
Proper Measurement Position
1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Place your elbow on a at surface. Relax your hand with the
palm facing up.
3. Make sure the cu is about the same height as the location
of your heart. (e)
Important!
If the cu is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the
obtained blood pressure value could be higher (lower) than
the actual value. A 15 cm dierence in height may result in an
error around 10 mmHg.

4. Press . The device will turn on and the cu will begin to
inate automatically. Remain still and do not talk or move
during the measurement.
Measuring Blood Pressure
This device provides you dierent ways to measure your blood
pressure.
When the device detects an irregular heart beat, the IRB symbol
is shown as“ ”instead of“ ”. If the problem still persists,
please consult your doctor.
Important!
Always apply the pressure cu before turning on the device.
A. Single Measurement
Perform an individual blood pressure measurement.
1. Press . All the LCD symbols will appear. Then the cu will
begin to inate automatically.
2. The heart symbol“ ”will ash when a pulse is detected
during the ination. (f) After the measurement, the monitor
displays the systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse rate.
(g)
3. Press to turn the device o.
Note:
• If the device is idle for 3 minutes, it will turn o automatically.
B. Average Measurement
Automatically performs three (3) consecutive blood pressure
measurements and displays the average result in the end.
1. Press . The device will turn on and enter the averaging
mode. Then the cu will begin to inate automatically.
2. After the rst measurement is complete, the device will start
counting down before the second measurement begins. The
device will take three (3) measurements consecutively with an
interval of 20 seconds. (h)
Note:
When the dierence between the rst and second systolic pressure
is more than 15mmHg, the time interval for third measurement will
be 40 seconds.
3. After taken three measurements, the results are averaged
to produce the blood pressure measurement with AVERAGE
symbol display on the screen. Press to turn the device o. (i)
C. Auscultatory Mode
Only well trained persons may use this mode to measure blood
pressure manually. This manual method involves applying a
stethoscope to the arm and listening to the pulse while the air
is slowly let out from the cu (the Korotko method). Please
ask your health-care professional to train you how to use
auscultatory mode.
The systolic pressure is the maximum pressure in an artery at the
moment when the heart is beating and pumping blood through
the body. The diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure in an

ACTIVE P30 Plus Series Owner’s Manual
EN-6
artery in the moments between beats when the heart is resting.
1. Place a stethoscope on the arm where there is a pulse. Wrap
the cu around the upper arm and hold in place with Velcro.
2. Press and hold until“ ”symbol appears on the display
with a beep. Release the button. Then cu begins to inate
automatically. (j)
3. After reaching the cu pressure, the deation begins. You can
adjust the ination pressure by keep pressing to inate
if necessary. If you release , the ination will stop and
deation begins.
4. The systolic pressure is measured when the operator rst hears
the pulse. Write down the value on the display. This value
indicates the systolic pressure. You have to record the values as
the result will not be stored in the memory.
5. The diastolic pressure is measured from the moment the
operator is unable to hear the sound of the pulse. Write down
the value on the display. This value indicates the patient’s
diastolic pressure. You have to record the values as the result
will not be stored in the memory.
6. The device will return to 0 mmHg after the measurement is
completed. To turn o the device, press and hold or it will
switch o automatically after idle for 3 minutes. (k)
Reviewing Test Results
Your device stores the 200 (P30 Plus BT only) most recent blood
pressure test results along with respective dates and times in the
memory. To recall the memory, start with the device o.
For P30 Plus
To review all test results, do the following:
1. Press and release . The“ ”icon appears on the screen and
the rst reading you see is the last blood pressure result along
with date and time. (l)
2. Press repeatedly to review other test results stored in the
device. (m)
To review the day-average test results, do the following:
1. Press and hold for 3 seconds until the“ ”icon
appears on the screen.
2. Press and the Day average result appears on the display. (n)
3. Press again to review the Day-time average result. (o)
4. Press again to review the Night-time average result. (p)
For P30 Plus and P30 Plus BT
Press to review the average and general memory recall mode.
Note:
• Day-time average ( ) is the average of the measurements taken
during 4:00 A.M. to 11:59 A.M.
• Night-time average ( ) is the average of the measurements taken
during 6:00 P.M. to 11:59 P.M.
• Press to exit the memory mode or leave it without any action for
3 minutes. The device will turn o automatically.
• If using the device for the rst time, the“---” icon appears when you
recall the test results or review the average result. It indicates that
there is no test result stored in the memory.
