Before using WatchBP Office
Selecting the correct cuff
Two different cuff sizes are provided with the
WatchBP Office: Medium and Large. Select the cuff
size that best matches the circumference of the
patient’s upper arm.
Fitting the cuff properly
1) Place the cuff over the left (right) upper arm so
that the air tube and artery mark arrow point
toward the lower arm.
2) Lay the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the lower
edge of the cuff lies approximately ¾” to 1”(2 to
3cm) above the elbow.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff
connector into the cuff connector socket.

3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4) Leave a little free space between the arm and
the cuff. The patient should be able to fit 2 fingers
between the arm and the cuff. Clothing must not
restrict the arm. Remove all clothing covering or
constricting the measurement arm.
5) Cuffs that do not fit properly can result in
incorrect blood pressure measurements. Use a
different size cuff if the range Index at the end of
the cuff does not fall into the range specified by
the range stripes.
6) Apply the same steps to the other arm if a double
arm measurement is required.
* The range index of cuff should
be fallen into this range.

«AUSCULTATION» Mode
Select «AUSCULTATION» Mode for blood pressure
measurement of patients with arrhythmia, and,
if needed, to confirm if a patient is suitable for
the oscillometric method using a digital blood
pressure monitor.
Choose a desired operation mode
The WatchBP Office device includes three convenient
operation modes: «AUSCULTATION», «1st VISIT» and
«FOLLOW-UP» Mode. Use the Mode Switch on the
side of the device to select the desired mode.

Simultaneous dual-arm measurements
In «1st VISIT» Mode, the WatchBP Office device
measures the patient’s blood pressure on both arms
simultaneously, helping to determine the preferred
measurement arm and reveal other potential
cardiovascular risks.
«1st VISIT» Mode
Select «1st VISIT» Mode to complete a fully-
automated triple measurement on both arms
according to recommended ESH/AHA blood
pressure measurement protocols for a patient’s
first office visit.

14
Automated triple measurement
In «1st VISIT» Mode, the WatchBP Office device
automatically takes three consecutive measurements
at one minute* intervals by default. The result of
these three measurements are averaged to produce
the first visit blood pressure measurement.
Determine proper measurement arm
If the measurement result between the two arms
differs more than 20mmHg for Systolic or 10mmHg
for Diastolic for all three measurements, the device
will indicate the higher measurement arm by a
flashing L or R.

Follow-up Mode. (Please refer to special functions
section page.24 “Set up measurement interval”).
The higher arm should be used as the preferred
measurement arm for future measurements.

«FOLLOW-UP» Mode
Select «FOLLOW-UP» Mode to complete a fully-
automated triple measurement on the preferred
measurement arm. According to recommended
ESH/AHA blood pressure measurement protocols for
follow-up blood pressure measurement.
Automated triple measurement
In «FOLLOW-UP» Mode, the WatchBP Office
device automatically takes three consecutive
measurements at one minute intervals by default.
The result of these three measurements are
averaged to produce the follow-up visit blood
pressure measurement.
