~ HOW 7671 WORKS
LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate
and digitally display full measurement readouts.
Our technology
is based
on the "oscillometric method" - a noninvasive blood
pressure determination.
The term "oscillation" refers to any
measure
of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. The cuff is first
inflated
until the artery is fully blocked. Then, the monitor takes
measurements while the cuff deflates.
Our monitors examine the
pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as
it expands and
contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.
... ..... . BEFORE YOU START D
You must install 4type AA (1.5 volt) batteries and attach the
cuff to the
monitor before using it. To install batteries (or replace
them if the "Low Battery" symbol appears
on display), proceed
as follows:

1 .. Remove battery compartment cover
by gently
pushing down on arrow and
sliding cover forward.
2. Put in top row of batteries first. Place
the batteries
in compartment with
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
matching those indicated
in the
compartment.
Be sure batteries make
contact with compartment terminals.
3. Replace cover by sliding it into
the
compartment and gently pressing
into place.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF D
Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading.
Acuff
that is too large will produce areading that is lower than
the correct blood pressure; acuff that is too small yields a
measurement
that is higher. With your arm hanging at the side
of your body, measure the circumference of
your upper arm
at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow.
ARM SIZE ECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT
UFF SIZE CUFF MODEL#
5.1" -7.9" (13-20cm) Small UA-279
7.5" -12.2" (19-31cm) Medium UA-280
11.8" -17.7" (30-45cm) Large UA-281
AIR CONNECTOR
TUIi.
MONITOR
To attach cuff, insert air connector at end of cuff tube into
air socket
on left side of monitor. Should you need to change
the cuff size, the preset exhaust velocity rate may have to
be adjusted (see page 11). .

ITAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
2. Lay left arm on the table, palm up
and thread cuff end through metal
loop,
smooth side against arm. Then
position the tube off-center toward
the
inner side of arm in line with
the little finger.
3. Pull the end of the cuff to
tighten
it, fold back the extra
material,
and fasten the Velcro.
The cuff
should be snug but
not too tight. You should be able
to insert two fingers between
the cuff
and your arm.
Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:
IBF Relax for about 5to 10 minutes before measurement.
IBF Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.
IBF Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm
to measure pressure.
Now you are
~eady. Follow these simple steps:
1•Sit comfortably with your left arm resting
on aflat surface so that the center of
your upper arm is at the
same height as
your heart.
IBF IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE I
4. Before taking your blood pressure, you will need to set the
pressure switch to a
number that is at least 30 mmHg higher
than your expected systolic pressure. Use the chart below as a
guide.
For example, if you believe your blood pressure to be
140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic), set the switch to 180.
If you
know it is 120/80, you should set the switch to 150. Don't
worry
if you set the pressure switch too low. The monitor will
automatically re-inflate to the
next higher setting if it is unable
to detect the systolic pressure
at the current setting.

see NOTE
NOTE:
If your systolic reading is greater than 210, please press
and hold the "START" button until the pressure switch reaches
30 mmHg higher than your systolic reading. The maximum cuH
pressure
is set at 320 mmHg. If it reaches 320 mmHg, the auto
exhaust will be triggered and cuH pressure will deflate to o.
If you think you have set the pressure too high, stop the
inflation process by pressing
START. Then reset the
switch to the
next lower setting.
5. Press the START button, remain still and do not talk as the
cuff autOlnatically inflates to the correct level.

6. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. You will see all
the display symbols appear briefly.
As the cuff pressurizes,
blinking
numerals-starting at zero-are displayed. When
inflation is complete, the MEASUREMENT IN PROGRESS
symbol blinks
and beeps with each pulse beat.
NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press START button.
7. Wait for the long beep indicating the measurement is
complete. The systolic
and diastolic pressure readings
and pulse rate are then displayed and announced before
the cuff deflates.

The announcement repeats four times
before the
monitor automatically shuts off.
You may also stop the announcement and turn off the monitor
at any time by pressing the START button. To increase the
volulne of the announcement, move the VOLUME CONTROL
switch (see diagram, page 4) to the right.
To lower the
volume, move the switch to the left.
8. Assuming asystolic reading of 120, adiastolic
of 73
and apulse of 69, the announcement
would say: "Your blood pressure is 120 over
73
and pulse is 69."
