UK: Digital Blood pressure monitor
• Thanks for choosing the Digital Blood Pressure Monitor.
• Please read this instruction manual before using your unit.
• Please keep this instruction manual safe for future use.
Introduction
• Thank you for purchasing Fully Automatic Upper Arm Style Digital Blood Pressure Monitor.
• The unit uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. It means the unit detects
the movement of your blood through your brachial artery, and converts your blood pressure into a
digital reading. The unit is simple to use because a stethoscope is not needed while using an
oscillometric monitor.
• The unit stores automatically 2X90 sets of measurement values.
• You can read the stored data conveniently by pressing the memory button.
• The unit comes with the following components:
- Main Unit
- Arm Cuff
- Instruction Manual printed in English

Warning and Safety Notices
To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed
including the precautions listed below:
• Read all information in the instruction manual and any other literature included in the box before
using the unit.
• Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and
treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your healthcare
provider.
• Operate the unit only as intended. Don't use for any other purpose.
• The unit is intended to use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate for adult only, not
recommended for neonatal baby at home or medical center.
• Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in operational failure.
• Please avoid using in high radiant area in order to make your measuring data correctly.
• Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components.
• Do not use the equipment where flammable gas (such as anesthetic gas, oxygen or hydrogen) or
flammable liquid (such as alcohol) are present.
• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields, near the unit. This
may result in incorrect operation of the unit.
• Indicating that too frequent measurements can cause injury to the PATIENT due to blood flow
interference;
871125208143.indd 2 14-03-18 14:53

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for Three months or More.
• Regarding the application of the CUFF over a wound, as this can cause further injury;
• Regarding the effect of blood flow interference and resulting harmful injury to the PATIENT
caused by continuous CUFF pressure due to connection tubing kinking;
• Regarding the application of the CUFF and its pressurization on any limb where intravascular
access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, is present because of temporary interference
to blood flow and could result in injury to the PATIENT;
• Regarding the application of the CUFF and its pressurization on the arm on the side of a
mastectomy;
• Regarding the information that pressurization of the CUFF can temporarily cause loss of function
of simultaneously used monitoring
• ME EQUIPMENT on the same limb;
• Regarding the need to check (for example, by observation of the limb concerned) that operation
of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER does not result in prolonged impairment of the
circulation of the blood of the PATIENT.
• When the arm is oppressed by air pressure, please loosen CUFF or remove batteries.
• Not touch the patient and battery output simultaneously when measurement.
• Warning: not allow to use the luer connectors. If Luer lock connectors are used in the construction
of tubing, there is a possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to intravascular fluid
systems, allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel.

Before Taking a Measurement
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a
measurement and 5 minutes should elapse before the first reading is taken.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times. Relax as much
as possible and no talking during the measurement procedure.
3. The cuff can be applied to your left or right Arm. Always measure your blood pressure on the
same Arm.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Position the unit at heart level throughout the measurement.
6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single
measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to
take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the
same time each day for consistency.
7. Wait 30~60 seconds between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the
condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait
time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
Proper Use of the Arm Cuff
How to Use the Arm Cuff
1. Make sure the air plug is inserted properly in the main unit.
2. Remove all clothes from your upper arm allowing the cuff to fit directly on the skin.
3. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table so as to level the cuff to
your heart.
4. Pass the end of the cuff through the metal, and keep the hose outward.
871125208143.indd 9 14-03-18 14:53

5. Put your arm through the loop, then pull it up to the position of your upper arm.
6. The hose runs down the inside of your arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately
1~2cm above your elbow.
7. Wrap the cuff properly around your upper arm. Not more than 2-finger-room allowed between the
cuff and your arm.
8. Have your upper arm relax, keep your palm upwarp and your fingers curving naturally, then turn
on the unit and start to measure.

About Blood Pressure
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (IHB)
When the unit detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the Irregular
Heartbeat Symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is more than 25% slower or 25% faster from
the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic blood pressure and the
diastolic blood pressure.
If the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (IHB) displays with your measurement results, we recommend you
consult your physician.
Follow the directions of your doctor
About Blood Pressure
Blood Circulation
The blood circulation is responsible for supplying the body with oxygen. Blood pressure is the
pressure exerted on the arteries.
The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure or top value) represents the blood pressure
produced by contraction of the heart muscle.
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower pressure or lower value) represents the blood pressure
produced by relaxation of the heart muscle.
Health and Blood Pressure
The incidence of hypertension increases with age. In addition, a lack of exercise, excess body fat and
high levels of cholesterol (LDL), which sticks to the inside in blood vessels, reduces elasticity of these
vessels. Hypertension accelerates arterial sclerosis which can lead to very serious conditions such as
stroke and myocardial infarction. For these reasons it is very important to know whether the blood
pressure is within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates from minute to minute, throughout the
day. Therefore, it is essential to take regular measurements to help you identify an average blood
pressure.

Classification of Blood Pressure
After each measurement is completed, the LCD display will show your position automatically on the
six segments of the bar indicator which corresponds to World Health Organization (WHO) Blood
Pressure Indicator.
Reference Material: Journal of Hypertension 1999, Vol 17 No.2
*NOTE! When a person’s systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories,
the higher category should apply.
Classification of Blood Pressure
Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can go unnoticed for a long time, since it doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms.
The following are all possible causes of abnormally high blood pressure:
• Overweight;
• High cholesterol value;
• Smoking;
• Excessive alcohol consumption;
• Stress and emotional upset;
• Excessive consumption of salt;
• Lack of physical exercise;
• Genetic/ hereditary predisposition;
• Underlying illnesses, such as kidney disorders or endocrine disturbance.

Treatment of High Blood Pressure
If your blood pressure reaches upper values of 140~160 mmHg and lower values of 90~95 mmHg in
repeated measurements over several days, you should consult your doctor for detailed medical
examination. You can assist the treatment prescribed by your doctor in the following ways:
• Lose weight and lower your cholesterol level;
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol;
• Reduce the intake of salt;
• Stop smoking;
• Take regular exercise;
• Monitor your blood pressure.
