This manual and product are not meant as a substitute for advice
provided by your doctor.
You are not to use the information contained herein, or this product
for diagnosing or treating a health problem or prescribing any
medication. If you have or suspect that you have a medical
problem, promptly consult your healthcare provider.
This device uses the oscillometric method to automatically measure
systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate.
The measurement position is at human being’s arm.
All values can be read out in one LCD panel.
The device is designed for home use and recommended for use by
adults aged 18 years and older with upper arm circumference
ranging from 9 ~13” (approx. 23 ~ 33 cm).

1. What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood pushing
against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly
fluctuating during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest
pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, and
represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is beating. The
lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the
pressure in the artery when the heart is at rest. Both the systolic and
the diastolic pressure are necessary for a physician to evaluate the
status of a patient's blood pressure.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety or the time of day, can
influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the
mornings and increases from the afternoon to the evening.
It is on average lower in the summer and higher in the winter.
2. Why is it useful to measure blood pressure at home?
Having one's blood pressure measured by a doctor in a hospital or a
clinic, is often associated with a phenomenon called “White Coat
Hypertension” where the patient becomes nervous or anxious, thus
raising his blood pressure. There are also numerous other factors that
might cause your blood pressure to be raised at a specific time of day.
This is why medical practitioners recommend home monitoring as it is
important to get readings of blood pressure during different times of
the day to really get an idea of your real blood pressure.
Medical practitioners generally recommend the “Rule of 3”, where you
are encouraged to take your blood pressure three times in a row (at 3
~ 5 minute interval), three times a day for three days.
After three days you can average all the results and this will give you
an accurate idea of what your blood pressure really is.
About Blood Pressure

A. WHO blood pressure classifications :
Standards for assessment of high or
low blood pressure without regard to
age, have been established by the
World Health Organization (WHO), as
shown in the chart.
However this chart is not exact for classification of blood pressure
and it's intended to be used as a guide in understanding
non-invasive blood pressure measurements. Please consult with
your physician for proper diagnosis.
B. Variations in blood pressure :
Individual blood pressures vary greatly
both on a daily and a seasonal basis.
These variations are even more
pronounced in hyper tense patients.
Normally the blood pressure rises while
at work and is at its lowest during
sleeping period.
(hyper tense: means a person who has high blood pressure
symptom.)
The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pressure over a
whole day with measurement taken every five minutes.
The thick line represents sleep.
The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12 PM (B
in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain.

● Do not take a measurement in a low (less than 41°F /5°C ) and high
(more than 104°F /40°C ) temperature, nor in a place outside humidity
ranges (15 % ~ 93 % R.H.), and atmospheric pressure ranges (700 ~
1060 hPa), or you may get inaccurate readings.
● Wait 30 ~ 45 minutes before measurement if you’ve just consumed
caffeinated beverages or smoked cigarettes.
● Rest at least 5 ~ 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
● To allow your blood vessels to return to the condition prior to taking the
measurement, please wait at least 3 ~ 5 minutes in between
measurements. You may need to adjust the wait time according to
your personal physiological situation.
● We recommend you using the same arm (preferably the left arm) and
measuring around the same time each day.
● Sit down comfortably and place your elbow on the table with your feet
flat on the floor. Please do not cross your legs during measurements.
* Do not use this manual and product as a substitute for advice,
diagnosing or treating a health problem or prescribing any medication
by your doctor. If you have a medical problem, promptly consult your
healthcare provider.
* Read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before measuring and keep it
at hand for your reference at any time.
* This device uses the oscillometric method to measure systolic and
diastolic blood pressure as well as your heart rate. It’s recommended
for use by people over the age of 18 and not to be used on infant or
children.
* The device is designed for home use and not suitable for clinical use.
* This monitor is not intended for use in the MR environment.

● For those who have had mastectomy surgery (especially whose’
lymph nodes removed), it’s recommend take a measurement on the
unaffected side.
● When used among medical electronic equipments on the same limb,
pressurization of the cuff may cause temporarily malfunction to other
devices.
● Keep in mind that blood pressure naturally varies from time to time
throughout the day and is affected by lots of different factors such as
stress, eating, smoking, alcohol consumption, medication, and
physical activity, etc.
● Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest
during sleeping period.
● Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a physician
or a trained health professional who is familiar with your medical
history. Using the unit and recording the results regularly for your
physician to interpret, you will keep your physician informed of the
continuing changes in your blood pressure.
● If you have one of the circulatory problems as arteriosclerosis,
diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, severe hypertension,
peripheral circulation….., please consult your healthcare professional
before using the device.
● Results are not intended for direct diagnosis. Please consult with a
physician if you have any questions or concerns about your results.
● Blood pressure measurements taken with this device are equivalent
to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff / stethoscope
auscultation method and are within the accuracy limits prescribed by
the Standard of EN 1060-4.
