TIPS ON TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

CLASSIFICATION
ME EQUIPMENT not intended for use in an oxygen rich environment or in the
presence of flammable mixers.
Internally powered equipment (without adaptor), Class II equipment
(with adapter).
Type BF applied part, recognize the cuff as applied part.
2.Take measurement under doctor’s instruction for patients with cardio-vas-
cular diseases. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any
drugs prescribed by your doctor!
3.Accurate measurement of blood pressure may be difficult in arrhythmia,
premature beat, atrial fibrillation atreriosclerosis hypoperfusion diabetes pregnancy
nephropathy , weak pulse, or in patients with obvious fluctuation of heart contrac-
tion rhythm. Please consult a qualified physician to interpret your blood pressure
readings.
blood pressure is being taken. Children and adults whose cuff size falls
outside the range of the standard and large cuff size must select special
size cuffs. Please contact the dealer to get these special size cuffs.
ATTENTION: Do not use cuff other than the original cuffs contained in this kit!
5.Repeated measurements with an interval of 3 minutes are recommended,
so you can calculate the average to get a more accurate measurement.
Atherosclerosis patients may require longer interval (10-15minutes) as
elasticity of patient’s vessels decreases significantly with the disease.
10-15minutes interval is also applicable for patients suffering from diabetes
for a long period of time.
4.It is necessary to keep quiet
during measurement to get
accurate readings. Measurement
should be conducted in quiet
environment at room temperature.
Don’t eat or smoke before a
measurement. This device is
supplied with a conical cuff which
is fit for the arm size 22-42 cm.
Care should be taken to ensure
that the cuff size is appropriate for
the person whose

BATTERY INSTALLATION
USE THE DEVICE WITH AC POWER ADAPTER
2.Close the battery compartment cover.
1.Open the battery cover and install four ‘AA’ type batteries into the battery
compartment as indicated. Make sure that the polarity is correct;
Replace the batteries when the replacement indication “ ”appears in
the display or nothing after “ ” button is pressed;
Batteries in this kit are intended to check work capacity of the device
and the life-span of the batteries can be shorter than the recommended
time;
Use R6,LR6 or AA alkaline batteries, do not use rechargeable
batteries;
Only same type batteries are allowed to be used together. Replace all
batteries simultaneously;
If the device is to be unused for a long time, please take out the
batteries;
Don’t leave the worn batteries in the device.
Besides batteries you can use AC power adapter as the power supply. The
AC power adapter is optional for this device for sale.
Insert the AC adapter cord into the jack on the right side of the monitor .
Insert the AC adapter plug into the outlet.
To remove the AC adapter, disconnect the adapter plug from the AC
outlet first and then disconnect the cord from the monitor’s jack.
When using optional AC adapter, the AC adapter must comply with the
requirements of standard IEC60601-1.
To avoid possible damage of the monitor, use only the exclusive AC
adapter that can be purchased from authorized dealers. Other adapter
may damage the blood pressure monitor.
The AC adapter is used as an isolating means, the AC adapter plug shall
insert into the outlet nearby the operator, make it easy to disconnection the
device from the outlet.
Caution

CORRECT POSTURE FOR MEASUREMENT
ASSEMBLING THE CUFF
If long time work, remove the plug after the adapter cools, and prevent bums.
Note: The monitor is designed not to draw power of the batteries when
the AC adapter is in use.
Optional AC adapter technical feature:
Output voltage: 6V±5%
Max. output current: At least 600 mA
Output plug polarity: <-> inner

Don’t talk or move your arm;
2. Press button ‘ ’, and all symbols will appear on display in 2 seconds.
Then ‘0 mmHg’ will appear on the screen. Pump begins to inflate with
display showing the reading of pressure. Generally the pressure will reach
190 mmHg as in Fig.3;
3. The pump stops inflating and the pressure begins to decrease gradually,
during which the user’s blood pressure and pulse will be calculated as in Fig.4;
Note: When the device has finished taking your measurement, your
blood pressure readings, pulse are announced.
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTING
When the device detects the irregular heartbeat or any excessive body
movement during measurement, ‘ ’ icon will flash on the screen as in Fig.5.

Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure, regardless of
age, have been established by World Health Organization (WHO) as
show in the chart as below：

WHO BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION INDICATION

ERROR AND LOW BATTERY INFORMATION
The indicator display a segment, based on the current data, correspond-
ing to the WHO classification.
For example, if your blood press is 145mmHg (systolic pressure), 88mmHg
(diastolic pressure), according to the world health organization standard,
your blood pressure level is Mild Hypertension.
Note: If the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure fall into
different categories, the higher value should be taken for classification.
Severe Hypertension
Moderate Hypertension
Mild Hypertension
