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.

• 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.

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
