PRODUCT ASSEMBLY GENERAL BLOOD PRESSURE INFORMATION
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure that is exerted by blood flowing
against the walls of the blood vessels throughout your body.
Your heart, which is the center of the circulatory system, provides the
force for the blood to flow or circulate. When your heart contracts or
beats, the blood is forced through the blood vessels increasing the
pressure. This is the highest pressure in the cycle or what is referred
to as SYSTOLIC PRESSURE. In-between beats your heart relaxes
and your blood pressure decreases. This is referred to as
DIASTOLIC PRESSURE.
How is Blood Pressure Measured?
(systolic)
(diastolic)
120 80
/
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters (mm) of Mercury (Hg) and
is generally recorded with the systolic pressure (120) listed first and
the diastolic pressure (80) listed second. The numbers are typically
separated by a slash mark (/ ) as shown above.
Please contact your physician to discuss your “normal” blood
pressure reading.
GENERAL BLOOD PRESSURE INFORMATION
What Influences Blood Pressure?
Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity,
anxiety, muscular development, certain medications or even the time
of day can influence blood pressure. Influences such as sleep or
relaxation decrease blood pressure, while anxiety or exercise increase
blood pressure.
Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?
Home monitoring allows you to supplement measurements taken
at your physician’s office. These home readings, when taken over
a period of time, can show an accurate indication of change.
Furthermore, your records can assist your physician in evaluating
your health and in making important decisions in the diagnosis and
treatment of your condition. Because of this, it is important to take
consistent, daily measurements.
IMPORTANT: Prior to use, your physician or trained healthcare
provider should be consulted to determine your “normal” blood
pressure, evaluate your technique using this unit and to interpret your
blood pressure measurements.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR ACCURATE READINGS
••Relax at least 15 minutes before taking a reading.
••Always place the cuff directly on the skin. Remove any clothing
or jewelry that may interfere with the cuff placement.
••Make sure the cuff is snug, but not too snug. One or two fingers
should fit between the cuff and the arm.
••Make sure the stethoscope head is directly over the
brachial artery.
••Try to use the same arm for all readings unless instructed
otherwise by your physician.
••Deflate the cuff at 2 or 3 mmHg per second.
••Remain still with your palm up and arm extended keeping the
cuff at the same level as your heart.
••Relax during the reading as anxiety can produce
incorrect results.

APPLYING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the unit is assembled correctly. Check
eartips to make sure they are securely fastened.
1. Sit upright but relaxed in a chair with a back. Keep your feet flat on
the floor. Remove any constrictive clothing from your left arm.
2. Extend your left arm. *Find your brachial artery,
which is at the inner aspect of your elbow. You
may or may not feel your pulse.
3. Open the cuff so that you can slide your arm into
it. Do not extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
4. Insert your left arm into the cuff. Position the
bottom edge of the cuff approximately one-half
inch ABOVE your elbow. The chestpiece must directly touch the
inside of your arm, over your
brachial artery (see step 2).
5. With your arm extended,
palm facing upward and
tubes positioned down the
center of your arm, use your
right hand to pull the end
of the cuff and secure the
hook and loop material. MAKE SURE THE CHESTPIECE REMAINS
OVER THE BRACHIAL ARTERY.
6. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. Check
for any gaps between the arm and the cuff.
*The left arm should be used unless you are unable to or should not
use your left arm. Consult with your physician to assess which arm
is best for you to use.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
1. Insert the eartips into your ears. You can adjust the metal binaural
for comfort.
2. Rest your elbow on a table with your arm facing upward. Elevate
your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Relax
your left hand.
3. Position the gauge so
it can be read without
being moved. It can be
clipped to something
such as a kitchen towel
for stability.
4. Hold the inflation
bulb with your right hand and turn the air release valve
clockwise to close.
5. Begin inflating the cuff SLOWLY AND STEADILY
by pumping the inflation bulb until the gauge reads
30 mmHG ABOVE your last known SYSTOLIC
measurement.
If you do not know your last known SYSTOLIC
measurement, inflate to approximately 180-200 mmHg.
CAUTION: To prevent injury to yourself and/or the unit, never inflate
the cuff above 280 mmHg.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
6. Upon reaching the proper inflation level, SLOWLY
AND STEADILY turn the air valve counterclockwise at a
rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
7. As the pressure begins to drop,
carefully listen for your pulse
beat. Note and record the first
thumping sound you hear. This is
your SYSTOLIC pressure.
8. Allow the cuff to continue to
deflate. You will hear changes in
the sounds and then no sound at
all. When you hear the last sound,
note the reading and record.
This is your DIASTOLIC pressure.
9. Rapidly turn the valve counterclockwise to deflate
the remaining air. Remove the cuff and record your
measurement on your recording chart.
NOTE: If you need to take another measurement, wait
a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood
vessels to return to normal. The wait time may vary depending
on your health.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not wash or moisten the cuff.
2. Avoid dropping or hitting the surface of the gauge or
stethoscope chestpiece.
NOTE: As with any sensitive instrument, the quality and reliability of
the manometer gauge should be checked annually. When the cuff is
fully deflated, make sure the gauge needle is at zero (within the zero
square). A needle outside the square means the gauge needs to be
recalibrated or replaced by a qualified technician.
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Assemble the contents of your kit.
2. A 15-minute resting period is recommended to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading.
3. Find your brachial artery, which is at the inner aspect of
your elbow.
4. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with the cuff placement. Wrap the cuff snugly around your left
arm with the cuff’s bottom edge approximately 0.5" (1.3 cm)
above your elbow joint with the chestpiece positioned over
the brachial artery.
5. Rest your elbow on a table making sure the cuff is at the same
level as your heart.
6. Position the gauge in a stable, readable location.
7. Slowly and steadily inflate the cuff 30 mmHg above your last
known SYSTOLIC reading. If not known, inflate between

APPLYING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the unit is assembled correctly. Check
eartips to make sure they are securely fastened.
1. Sit upright but relaxed in a chair with a back. Keep your feet flat on
the floor. Remove any constrictive clothing from your left arm.
2. Extend your left arm. *Find your brachial artery,
which is at the inner aspect of your elbow. You
may or may not feel your pulse.
3. Open the cuff so that you can slide your arm into
it. Do not extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
4. Insert your left arm into the cuff. Position the
bottom edge of the cuff approximately one-half
inch ABOVE your elbow. The chestpiece must directly touch the
inside of your arm, over your
brachial artery (see step 2).
5. With your arm extended,
palm facing upward and
tubes positioned down the
center of your arm, use your
right hand to pull the end
of the cuff and secure the
hook and loop material. MAKE SURE THE CHESTPIECE REMAINS
OVER THE BRACHIAL ARTERY.
6. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. Check
for any gaps between the arm and the cuff.
*The left arm should be used unless you are unable to or should not
use your left arm. Consult with your physician to assess which arm
is best for you to use.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
1. Insert the eartips into your ears. You can adjust the metal binaural
for comfort.
2. Rest your elbow on a table with your arm facing upward. Elevate
your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Relax
your left hand.
3. Position the gauge so
it can be read without
being moved. It can be
clipped to something
such as a kitchen towel
for stability.
4. Hold the inflation
bulb with your right hand and turn the air release valve
clockwise to close.
5. Begin inflating the cuff SLOWLY AND STEADILY
by pumping the inflation bulb until the gauge reads
30 mmHG ABOVE your last known SYSTOLIC
measurement.
If you do not know your last known SYSTOLIC
measurement, inflate to approximately 180-200 mmHg.
CAUTION: To prevent injury to yourself and/or the unit, never inflate
the cuff above 280 mmHg.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
6. Upon reaching the proper inflation level, SLOWLY
AND STEADILY turn the air valve counterclockwise at a
rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
7. As the pressure begins to drop,
carefully listen for your pulse
beat. Note and record the first
thumping sound you hear. This is
your SYSTOLIC pressure.
8. Allow the cuff to continue to
deflate. You will hear changes in
the sounds and then no sound at
all. When you hear the last sound,
note the reading and record.
This is your DIASTOLIC pressure.
9. Rapidly turn the valve counterclockwise to deflate
the remaining air. Remove the cuff and record your
measurement on your recording chart.
NOTE: If you need to take another measurement, wait
a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood
vessels to return to normal. The wait time may vary depending
on your health.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not wash or moisten the cuff.
2. Avoid dropping or hitting the surface of the gauge or
stethoscope chestpiece.
NOTE: As with any sensitive instrument, the quality and reliability of
the manometer gauge should be checked annually. When the cuff is
fully deflated, make sure the gauge needle is at zero (within the zero
square). A needle outside the square means the gauge needs to be
recalibrated or replaced by a qualified technician.
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Assemble the contents of your kit.
2. A 15-minute resting period is recommended to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading.
3. Find your brachial artery, which is at the inner aspect of
your elbow.
4. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with the cuff placement. Wrap the cuff snugly around your left
arm with the cuff’s bottom edge approximately 0.5" (1.3 cm)
above your elbow joint with the chestpiece positioned over
the brachial artery.
5. Rest your elbow on a table making sure the cuff is at the same
level as your heart.
6. Position the gauge in a stable, readable location.
7. Slowly and steadily inflate the cuff 30 mmHg above your last
known SYSTOLIC reading. If not known, inflate between
180-200 mmHg.
8. At a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second, begin to deflate the cuff.
9. The first “thumping” sound heard is your SYSTOLIC rate.
10. The last sound heard is your DIASTOLIC rate.
11. Record your measurements.
12. A 15-minute rest period is needed between readings to allow
the blood vessels to return to normal.

for any gaps between the arm and the cuff.
*The left arm should be used unless you are unable to or should not
use your left arm. Consult with your physician to assess which arm
is best for you to use.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
1. Insert the eartips into your ears. You can adjust the metal binaural
for comfort.
2. Rest your elbow on a table with your arm facing upward. Elevate
your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Relax
your left hand.
3. Position the gauge so
it can be read without
being moved. It can be
clipped to something
such as a kitchen towel
for stability.
4. Hold the inflation
bulb with your right hand and turn the air release valve
clockwise to close.
5. Begin inflating the cuff SLOWLY AND STEADILY
by pumping the inflation bulb until the gauge reads
30 mmHG ABOVE your last known SYSTOLIC
measurement.
If you do not know your last known SYSTOLIC
measurement, inflate to approximately 180-200 mmHg.
CAUTION: To prevent injury to yourself and/or the unit, never inflate
the cuff above 280 mmHg.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
6. Upon reaching the proper inflation level, SLOWLY
AND STEADILY turn the air valve counterclockwise at a
rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
7. As the pressure begins to drop,
carefully listen for your pulse
beat. Note and record the first
thumping sound you hear. This is
your SYSTOLIC pressure.
8. Allow the cuff to continue to
deflate. You will hear changes in
the sounds and then no sound at
all. When you hear the last sound,
note the reading and record.
This is your DIASTOLIC pressure.
9. Rapidly turn the valve counterclockwise to deflate
the remaining air. Remove the cuff and record your
measurement on your recording chart.
NOTE: If you need to take another measurement, wait
a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood
vessels to return to normal. The wait time may vary depending
on your health.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Do not wash or moisten the cuff.
2. Avoid dropping or hitting the surface of the gauge or
stethoscope chestpiece.
NOTE: As with any sensitive instrument, the quality and reliability of
the manometer gauge should be checked annually. When the cuff is
fully deflated, make sure the gauge needle is at zero (within the zero
square). A needle outside the square means the gauge needs to be
recalibrated or replaced by a qualified technician.
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Assemble the contents of your kit.
2. A 15-minute resting period is recommended to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading.
3. Find your brachial artery, which is at the inner aspect of
your elbow.
4. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with the cuff placement. Wrap the cuff snugly around your left
arm with the cuff’s bottom edge approximately 0.5" (1.3 cm)
above your elbow joint with the chestpiece positioned over
the brachial artery.
5. Rest your elbow on a table making sure the cuff is at the same
level as your heart.
6. Position the gauge in a stable, readable location.
7. Slowly and steadily inflate the cuff 30 mmHg above your last
known SYSTOLIC reading. If not known, inflate between
180-200 mmHg.
8. At a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second, begin to deflate the cuff.
9. The first “thumping” sound heard is your SYSTOLIC rate.
10. The last sound heard is your DIASTOLIC rate.
11. Record your measurements.
12. A 15-minute rest period is needed between readings to allow
the blood vessels to return to normal.
CAUTION: Never inflate the cuff above 280 mmHg.
