UNIT ASSEMBLY
Lay out the parts as pictured. The cuff should already be folded
through the metal D-ring. If the cuff is not pre-folded, lay the cuff at
in front of you. Place the metal D-ring on your left. Pull the end of the
cuff through the metal bar. If you fold the cuff correctly, the hook and
pile material faces the outside of the cuff loop.
Look at the drawing to help you put the unit together.
1. Attach the gauge to the tubing on the left.
2. Attach the ination bulb to the tubing on the right.
3. Attach the single end of the Y-tubing to the stethoscope chest-
piece
4. Attach the double end of the Y-tubing to the binaural.

Note:
Model 700K cuff ts arm
circumference 25,4 - 40,6 cm.
For easy assembly follow
diagram.
Connect each component securely to avoid injury and instrument
damage.
WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of your blood vessels
as blood ows through them.
The 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 systolic pressure.
When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood pressure
decreases.
This is 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 millimeters of mercury and recorded as 126/76
mmHg.

Blood pressure varies during the day. Factors inuencing your blood
pressure include physical activity, medications, and your emotional
and physical condition. A single measurement does not provide a
true picture of your blood pressure. You need to measure your blood
pressure over a period of time.
IMPORTANT:
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR TO DETERMINE YOUR NORMAL
BLOOD PRESSURE. ONLY A DOCTOR IS QUALIFIED TO
DIAGNOSE AND TREAT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. PRACTICE
THE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES FOR THIS INSTRUMENT
CAREFULLY. CHECHK YOUR PROCEDURE WITH YOUR
DOCTOR

HOW TO TAKE A READING
1. Make sure you are seated with your feet at and your back and
arm supported. Rest your arm at heart level.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE ALL COMPONENTS ARE ASSEMBLED CORRECTLY
AND SECURELY. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN INJURY
OR AN INCORRECT READING.
2. Locate brachial artery by placing two ngers 2 cm above the bend
of the elbow on the inside of the arm.
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. Place the bottom edge of
the cuff approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow. Place the cuff so that
the air-pipes were over the brachial artery.
4. The cuff should be wrapped so that it ts snugly and stays in
place. You should be able to place one nger between the cuff and
arm. Fasten the cuff by folding the end of the cuff over the D-ring and

7
press the hook material rmly against the fuzzy pile material. Make
sure the cuff sits correctly.
5. Insert stethoscope ear-pieces into ears.
6. Put the chestpiece over the brachial artery under or 1-2 cm below
the cuff.
7. Rest your arm on a table.
Relax your arm, and turn your palm upward. Ensure the cuff is same
level as heart.

8. Place the gauge in front of you.
Hold the ination bulb in your right
hand. Close the air release valve
attached to the ination bulb by turning
it clockwise.
9. To inate the cuff, rapidly squeeze the ination bulb. If you KNOW
your normal SYSTOLIC pressure, inate the cuff until the gauge
reaches approximately 30 mmHg ABOVE normal SYSTOLIC read-
ing. If you are unsure or do not know your normal SYSTOLIC reading
consult your doctor for the correct ination level.
CAUTION:
DO NOT INFLATE THE CUFF ABOVE 280 mmHg. YOU MAY
INJURE YOURSELF OR DAMAGE THE INSTRUMENT.

9
10. Slowly open the air release
valve by turning it counter-clock-
wise. Release the air at a rate of
2-4 mmHg per second.
11. Listen carefully for the appearance of sounds, watching the
gauge needle. When you hear the rst appearance of sound, it is
your SYSTOLIC blood pressure reading.
12. Continue to release the air at a rate of 2-4 mmHg per second.
When you no longer hear any sounds, that is your DIASTOLIC blood
pressure reading.
13. Turn the air release valve counter-clockwise to release the

10
remaining air. Record your measurement in the record chart. You
should record reading early, (not to forget values). Remove the
stethoscope from your ears. Remove the cuff.
NOTE: If you want to take another reading, you can reinate up to
twice. Wait at least 5 minutes before measuring again, to avoid inac-
curate readings due to the engorged blood vessels.
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
BEFORE
1. MEASURE your blood pressure at the SAME TIME each day.
2. RELAX for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
3. Remove tight tting clothing from your upper arm.
4. DO NOT eat, smoke or exercise for at least 30 minutes before
taking a measurement.
DURING
1. PLACE CUFF at the heart level.
2. STETHOSCOPE CHESTPIECE covers the BRACHIAL
ARTERY.
3. INFLATE unit to proper level (30-40 mmHg above estimated
systolic pressure).
4. DO NOT talk or move during a measurement.
5. DEFLATE unit at 2-4 mmHg per second.
AFTER
1. WAIT 5 minutes before taking another measurement.
