HELPFUL INFORMATION
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts on the arteries. This force is constantly changing as
the heart beats. When the heart contracts, blood pressure reaches its highest value. This is called
systolic blood pressure. When the heart relaxes between beats, the value of blood pressure is lower.
This is called the diastolic blood pressure. The unit of measure for blood pressure is millimeter
of mercury, abbreviated mmHg. For example, an individual’s blood pressure may be measured as 120
mmHg (systolic) and 80 mmHg (diastolic). This would be spoken as “120 over 80” and written as “120/80”.
Remember that blood pressure varies throughout the day. Food intake, smoking, the time of day, stress,
level of exercise and many other factors can affect it.

(Example: 35-yr old male)
What is High Blood Pressure?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition where an individual’s blood pressure remains high
over a long period of time. Consult with your physician with any questions or concerns you may have
about hypertension.

Why is it Importantto Measure Your Blood Pressure at Home?
Having your blood pressure taken at the doctor’s office may cause you to become nervous, thus artificially
raising your reading. Having the ability to take your blood pressure at home makes it easy to record a log
of your daily readings. This will help you gain a greater understanding of your blood pressure reading and the
factors that affect it. Be sure that you share your information with your physician.
Hints forAccurate Measurement
1. Relax and try to remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before a measurement.
2. Remove any clothing on the upper arm so that the cuff can be placed directly on the skin.
Constriction of the upper arm caused by rolling up a shirt sleeve may cause an inaccurate reading.
Avoid this condition by completely removing the garment.
3. Refrain from eating, smoking and drinking (especially alcoholic beverages) before a measurement.
These activities can affect your blood pressure.
4. Remember that blood pressure varies continuously throughout the day. Try to take your blood
pressure at the same time each day.

6
5. Do not be concerned with the results of one measurement. Many measurements, recorded over an
extended period of time, will provide a better indication of your blood pressure.
6. Relax for 5 to 10 minutes before remeasuring your blood pressure.
7. Because many factors can affect your blood pressure, daily fluctuations of 25 to 50 mmHg are common.
Please note: Some individuals with hypertension, diabetes, kidney disorders, arteriosclerosis or poor
circulation may see a significant difference in blood pressure readings taken from the wrist as compared to
readings from the upper arm. It is recommended that you consult with your physician concerning the use of
this monitor.
CORRECT METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
To obtain the most accurate blood pressure measurement, please follow these important directions:
1. Be seated in a chair with back support.
2. Rest your left arm on a table so the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
3. Place both feet on the ground.
Important: The arm cuff must be at the same level as your heart or accurate measurement will
not be possible. (Your heart is located slightly below your left armpit.)

PREPERATION BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
Battery Installation/Replacement
1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction of the arrow.
2. Install or replace the four alkaline “AA” batteries, noting the
proper orientation of positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
4. If the Low Battery Symbol appears on the display,
replace the batteries.
5. Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for
an extended period of time.
How to Applythe Arm Cuff
1. Insert the end of the cuff through the D-Ring to make a loop.
(Make sure that the hook and loop closures stays outside
when it is done.)
2. Wear the arm cuff with the hose downward. Pull the end of
the cuff and secure it snugly with the hook and loop closures
3. Adjust the cuff so that the bottom edge is about 1 inch above
the elbow on the inside of the arm. Make sure the colored
area on the cuff covers the brachial artery.
4. Plug the air tube connector into the monitor.
Note: Batteries are hazardous waste.
Do not dispose with household garbage.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT
Please read the previous section on proper placement of the cuff and arm position.
1. After the cuff has been properly placed on the left arm, please press Set button and select [ ] or [ ]
on the upper left hand corner of the LCD screen, and then press the Start I Stop button.
2. After the display reads “00” the cuff will automatically inflate to an appropriate pressure.
After inflation, it will slowly deflate to take the measurement. When the heart mark “ ” appears a
measurement is in process. The cuff will be quite snug for a short while, this is normal. Try to relax, refrain
from talking and remain as still as possible during the measurement.
Note: If the device determined that the initial inflation pressure was insufficient, it will re-inflate to
a higher pressure.
3. The device will completely deflate when the measurement is finished. The systolic and diastolic pressure
and pulse rate will be displayed.
To end a measurement for any reason, just press the Start/Stop button to turn off the unit and release the
cuff pressure. If during a measurement the power drops to an insufficient level, the device will end the
measurement and display the low battery symbol. Please replace the batteries and repeat the measurement.
If the device cannot detect your pulse, it will end the measurement attempt. Please wait a few minutes,
make sure that the cuff is positioned properly and try again. The device will automatically shut off 1 minute
after a measurement is finished. You can also press Start | Stop button to shut the device off.

10
SETTING DATE AND TIME
The device displays time and date on the LCD. They can be set according to the following method:
1. Make sure the machine is powered OFF, then hold the SET button for 5 seconds until digits on the screen
start flashing.
2. Press the SET button to switch between month, date, hour and minute.
3. Press the MEM (Memory) button to advance the display selected by one digit at a time.
SETTING TALKING FEATURE
For the MDS4001LAT Talking Model, after the date and time settings are selected, the "SP" character will
flash. Press the MEM (Memory) button to move from English, "SP 01", to Spanish, "SP 02", or to off, "SP OF".
MEMORY FUNCTION
Memory Input
When a valid measurement is made, the result (systolic, diastolic, pulse rate, date and time) will be
stored in the memory automatically as soon as the device is turned off or when another measurement is
initiated. The device can store up to 90 readings for each of 2 users, and also compute the average of the
latest 3 readings. When more than 90 readings are stored, the oldest ones will be replaced.
Memory Recall
By pressing Memory button, AVG will be shown in the lower left hand corner. AVG means the average of all
recorded readings. Press the Memory button again and 01 will appear in the lower right hand corner, which
is your latest reading in the memory. When you press Memory again, 02 will display which is the previous
reading. When you press the Memory button repeatedly, the records will be displayed sequentially.

11
ERROR CODES
Indication: Incomplete inflation
Correction: Check if the cuff is firmly connected to the device.
If the Er message is still there, request a repair
Indication: Cuff over-inflated and released automatically
Correction: Take a break, reposition the cuff and remeasure

INFORMACIÓN ÚTIL
¿Qué es la presión arterial?
La presión arterial es la fuerza que ejerce la sangre sobre las arterias. Esta fuerza cambia constantemente
mientras late el corazón. Cuando el corazón se contrae, la presión arterial alcanza su valor más alto. Esto
se denomina presión arterial sistólica. Cuando el corazón se relaja entre los latidos, el valor de la presión
arterial es menor.
Esto se denomina presión arterial diastólica. La unidad de medición de la presión arterial es el milímetro
de mercurio, que se abrevia mmHg. Por ejemplo, la presión arterial de una persona se puede medir como
120 mmHg (sistólica) y 80 mmHg (diastólica). Se expresa “120 sobre 80” y se escribe “120/80”.
Recuerde que la presión arterial varía durante todo el día. La ingesta de alimentos, el tabaquismo, la hora
del día, el estrés, el nivel de ejercicio y muchos otros factores pueden afectarla.
Fluctuaciones típicas de la presión arterial diaria
(Por ejemplo: hombre de 35 años de edad)
¿Qué es la presión arterial alta?
La hipertensión, o presión arterial alta, es una afección en la que la presión arterial de una persona per-
manece alta durante un largo período de tiempo. Consulte con su médico si tiene dudas o inquietudes con
respecto a la hipertensión.
