Intended Use
The MDMouse blood pressure monitor is a noninvasive blood pressure measurement system
intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult indi-
vidual, over age 18, at home by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is
wrapped around the left index finger. The cuff circumference is designed to fit adult Left In-
dex Fingers from 1.5 to 3.5 inches (3.7-8.8 cm) in circumference.
Caution
This device is not intended to be a diagnostic device. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment
are dangerous. Contact your physician if you observe values indicating hypertension.
People with severe blood flow problems or disorders should consult their physician prior
to using any blood pressure monitoring device as cuff inflation can cause damage or in-
ternal bleeding.
Do not take measurements right after drinking alcohol, smoking, exercise, or eating as
those activities may distort the results.
Performance can be affected by a number of health factors including age, diabetes,
common arrhythmias, ventricular premature beats, atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis,
and pregnancy.
This unit will not serve as a cure for any symptoms of your heart or disease. The meas-
urement result is only for reference. Always consult your physician if any measuring re-
sults are to be interpreted.
Always follow the operation procedures described in this manual to measure your blood
pressure correctly.
Do not use the MDMouse to measure blood pressure on infants or children (it is OK to
use as a normal computer mouse).
Do not use the unit on infants or persons who cannot express one's intention.
Do not inflate the cuff without being wrapped on an index finger.
Do not drop the MDMouse.
Safeguard the unit from strong impact.
Measurement may be inaccurate if the device is used close to a television, microwave
oven, mobile phone, X-ray or other devices with strong electrical field.
Do not attempt to service the unit yourself –please refer to an authorized repair facility
if your MDMouse system needs repair.
Be sure to store this manual for future reference.

Understanding Blood Pressure
What is blood pressure?
The heart creates a force as it pushes blood into the arteries
and through the blood circulation system. The arteries create
another force as they resist the blood flow. Blood pressure is
the result of these two forces. The more blood your heart
pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood
pressure.
Blood pressure is expressed by two numbers which show your “Systolic” pressure (the higher
number, when the heart is pumping out blood) and “Diastolic” pressure (the lower number,
when the heart is at rest between beats).
What constitutes a high blood pressure?
According to the Joint National Committee 7 (JNC 7) definitions,
when systolic blood pressure exceeds 140 mmHg or diastolic
blood pressure exceeds 90 mmHg, this constitutes high blood
pressure (see figure below).
How can I tell how high my blood pressure is?
The MDMouse application displays measurement results (including systolic blood pressure, di-
astolic blood pressure, and pulse) based on the Joint National Committee 7 (JNC 7) classification
of blood pressure levels. The color-coded displays provide a convenient way of gauging the
condition of your blood pressure.
It is recommended that you consult a physician to fully understand blood pressure levels.
Changes in Blood Pressure
A person's blood pressure is constantly changing. Blood pressure can fluctuate considerably
through the course of a single day, and it is also affected by the seasons and by the weather.
One or two readings are not sufficient to get an accurate picture of your blood pressure. Ideally,
you should get into the habit of checking your blood pressure at fixed time several times a day,
every day, and keep a detailed record of these readings. This record can then be e-mailed or
faxed to your doctor, helping you to monitor your health on an ongoing basis.
A normal, healthy person's blood pressure fluctuates within a range of approximately ±10
mmHg.

Making a Blood Pressure Measurement
Start the MDMouse Application
1. To log into the MDMouse application, click
the MDMouse application on your desktop.
Tip: You can use the login screen to
create new user accounts. If you
have forgotten your account pass-
word, you can also use the login
screen to create your account
again.
2. For your first login attempt, enter a user
name and password to create a new account;
then, click OK to log in.
3. The animated MDMouse tutorial starts. It is
recommended that you complete the tutorial
before using your MDMouse.
Note: You can choose to stop playing
this tutorial every time you log
into the MDMouse application.

Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement
Before taking a reading, you should sit quietly for around 10 minutes, and there should be an
interval of at least 5 minutes between readings. While taking a measurement you should stay
calm and relaxed, and try not to talk. This will improve the accuracy of the readings.
Follow the instructions below to take a blood pressure measurement.
1. Lift the protective cover from the mouse and flip the finger cuff out. Flip the pro-
tective cover back closed.
2. Slide your left index finger all the way into the cuff so that the cuff is on the lowest
part of your finger.
3. Hold your finger against the MDMouse so that the inside of your finger is laying
along the side of the MDMouse.
4. Tighten the finger ring for the suitable finger size position. It should feel snug on
your finger, but not so tight that it restricts blood flow.
5. Locate the bottom of your sternum; this is the level you’ll want to hold the
MDMouse while taking a measurement. This places the MDMouse at the same
level as your heart, helping improve the consistency and accuracy of the meas-
urement.

MDMouse User Manual Model MD-100
13
6. Place the MDMouse at your sternum and click “Enter”on your keyboard to begin
a measurement.
7. During a blood pressure measurement, support your left arm by resting your el-
bow on a table or holding it with your other arm to help reduce the muscle tension
in your arm which can affect accuracy.
8. Note: If your finger feels cold, please warm it up before measuring your blood
pressure as cold temperature can affect accuracy. Please make sure the room
temperature will not be below 50 degree Fahrenheit or 10 degree centigrade.
During the measurement process, you will hear the inflation pump in the MDMouse activate,
and will feel the cuff pressure on your finger. A typical measurement takes approximately
35-45 seconds. If at any time during this process you need to stop the measurement, hit “En-
ter”again on your computer keyboard and the cuff will deflate.
After you have finished measuring, loosen the finger cuff by with the rotating finger ring. Re-
move your finger and rotate the cuff back inside the MDMouse into its original position and
close the protective cover.
