ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery
walls while blood flows through the arteries. The
pressure measured when the heart contracts and
sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest)
blood pressure. The pressure measured when the
heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart
is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your
Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those
associated with high blood pressure are very common.
High blood pressure dangerously correlates with
cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on page 6 contains defined levels based upon
standards for hypertension that are publicly available from
the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute at the U.S.
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings
against these defined levels to determine if they may be
potentially at increased risk.
IB-LDRBPA060A.indd 5 2010/3/19 下午 4:10

6
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people
who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers
stay above the “normal” range most of the time, you may
be at increased risk and should consult your physician.
This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.
Although one can easily find where their own blood
pressure readings fall on this table, this monitor comes
equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically
compares each reading to the defined levels and provides
a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that
could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 20 for
more information on this feature.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only
intended to assist you in using this table. The table and
cues are only provided for convenience to help you
understand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it
relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute for
a medical examination by your physician. It is important for
you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician
will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the
point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.
Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Normal Less than 120 and Less than 80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
High Blood Pressure
Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99
Stage 2 160 or higher or 100 or higher

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses Smart Measure™ Technology to
detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a but-
ton, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood
flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process
starts. Smart Measure™ Technology enables the moni-
tor to automatically inflate and deflate to the appropri-
ate level for each individual. Please note that any mus-
cle movement during inflation or deflation will cause
measurement error. When measurement is complete,
the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic
pressure, and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your
measurement results fall on the NIH’s National Heart
Lung and Blood Institute’s table and provides a cue
if your reading falls into one of the stages that could
potentially indicate increased risk. Please refer to page
20 for more information on this feature.

7. Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens
evenly around your arm. Press the hook
and loop material together to secure.
Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the
cuff and your arm.
8. Lay your arm on a table (palm
upward) so the cuff is at the same
height as your heart. Make sure the
tube is not kinked.
IB-LDRBPA060A.indd 16 2010/3/19 下午 4:10

Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it
can also be placed on your right arm. However, all
measurements should be made using the same arm.
To use on the right arm, you must position the artery
symbol “ ” over the main artery. Locate the main
artery by pressing with two fingers approximately 1”
(2 cm) above the bend
of your elbow on the
inside of your right arm.
Identify where the pulse
can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is
in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by
the position of the user, his or her physiologic condi-
tion and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1
hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking
beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking
to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit
quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken
during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy.
Main Artery
IB-LDRBPA060A.indd 17 2010/3/19 下午 4:10

You should not be physically tired or exhausted
while taking a measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move
your arm or hand muscles.
• See page 22 for additional notes regarding your
blood pressure measurement.
1. Press the User Select Button to choose User 1
or User 2.
After the user number is selected, press the
START/STOP button to confirm the chosen user.
2. With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press
the START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff
unless it is wrapped around your arm. All digits
will light up to check the display functions. The
checking procedure will be completed after about
3 seconds.

time, please remove the protective film from the screen.
IB-LDRBPA060A.indd 18 2010/3/19 下午 4:10

3. After all symbols disappear, the display will
show “00”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure”
and will automatically inflate the
cuff to start measurement.
4. Once your systolic pressure is determined, the monitor
will begin deflating to measure your diastolic pressure.
Note: This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the
system detects that your body requires more
pressure for measurement.
5. When the measurement is completed, the
cuff will deflate entirely. Systolic pressure,
diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown
simultaneously on the LCD screen.
The measurement is then automatically
stored into memory.
