Foreword
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) is one of the three major
diseases that are of great danger to mankind. It is known as
the INVISIBLE KILLER. The higher the blood pressure, the
higher the incidence of the heart disease or incidental
cerebrovascular (apoplexy) disease. Therefore, early
diagnosis as well as prompt treatment of hypertension is of
great significance.
Attention:
Hypertension could cause the narrow of arterial blood vessels
or the obstacle in twig blood circulation, which shall cause the
difference of blood pressure values between wrist blood
pressure and upper arm blood pressure. Even for healthy
persons, the difference between wrist and arm blood pressure
values might be about 20mmHg (2.5Kpa). So, please do not
judge your blood pressure by yourself and consult your
doctors.

Blood pressure values change is the same by measuring wrist
or upper arm. Therefore, one can monitor the change of his
blood pressure values by measuring wrist blood pressure.
Blood pressure changes throughout the day and even without
feeling, body blood pressure will change ranging from
30mmHg-50mmHg according to body tension or relaxation
state.
About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arterial walls
when blood flows through the arteries. The pressure exerted
when the heart contracts and sends out blood is called systolic
(highest) pressure. The pressure exerted when the heart dilates
and blood flows into the heart is called diastolic (lowest)
pressure. Blood pressure is a physiological index subject to
wide fluctuations, which might be influenced by talk, movement,
posture, mood, etc., and possesses the property of periodical
change throughout the day. And therefore, using different body

- 3 of 35 -
parts for measurement (such as wrist or upper arm), different
blood vessel wall thickness as well as different measurement
time will probably generate different measuring results.
SF822B
It uses the Oscillometric method of measurement and
automatically pressurizes and measures blood pressure and
is capable of displaying minor changes of the blood pressure
measured. It also has saving function and can save pulse,
blood pressure values and measured time.

The detailed time set process is as following procedures.
Turn on the unit after replacing batteries.
The screen time display is 01/01 (day/month), 2000(year) and
00:00(hour: minute). Moreover, the first character of “day” is
flashing and by then “day” can be set by pressing MODE/+ key.
After pressing set key to confirm, the second character of
“day” can be set Day/month set can be set cyclically. Upon
finishing set “year” and pressing SET key, if day/month and
year set is correct, the system
will automatically transfer to
“hour” set (the first character of
“hour” is flashing.) At this time,
hour and minute can be set
cyclically. The time set will finish
after pressing SET key and the
system will automatically enter
waiting command status.

2003, the screen will display “EE”. Please power on the unit
and re-set time.
Remark:
If time set is not finished, Measure, Save, Query functions
shall not be operated; when the device is switched on again,
time set is still needed.
Fastening the Wrist Holder
1. Turn left hand so that palm is facing
upward. Wrap the Velcro wrist holder
over the left wrist with the LCD display
facing you. The wrist holder should be in
contact with your skin directly with no
shirt sleeve or other clothing between the
Wrist Holder and your skin as this may

lead to inaccurate readings.
2. The upper end of the unit should be located about 5mm to
10mm away from the palm base line and the centerline of the
unit should be in line with the middle finger as shown in the
figure. Avoid capitulum ulnae (wrist
tuberositas ulnae bone) wrapped in
the wrist cuff.
3. Pull up the flap of the Wrist Holder
and roll to fasten it as illustrated, neither
leaving any space between the Wrist
Holder and your wrist nor tightening it
too much so as to feel discomfort.
4. If the wrist is thick, do not fasten the
wrist holder too hard avoid the distortion of the wrist holder.
Otherwise, it will affect the measurement.
