this will give you an accurate idea of what
your blood pressure really is.
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 un-
derstanding non-invasive blood pressure
measurements. Please consult with your
physician for proper diagnosis.
and increases from the afternoon to
the evening. It is on average lower in
the summer and higher in the winter.
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
The BP Category Indicator will show the
information with the readings on the
screen for the user to track their blood
pressure level.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
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 pres-
sure 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

INTENDED USE
MOCACuff automatically measures human’s
systolic, diastolic blood pressure and heart
rate by using the oscillometric method
during deflation. All values can be read out
in one LCD panel. Measurement position
is at human being’s wrist. The intended
use of this over-the-counter device is for
adults aged 18 years and older with wrist
circumference ranging from 5.3 inches to
7.7 inches (approx. 135 mm to 195 mm)
and for home use. MOCACuff detects
the appearance of irregular heartbeats
during measurement; an indicated symbol
will appear with measurment readings.

All MOCACuff Automatic Wrist Blood
Pressure Monitors have performed
equivalent to measurements taken with
this scientific device and are within the
accuracy limits prescribed by the Amer-
ican National Standard for Electronic
or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
The SPHYGMOMANOMETER was clinically

of ISO 81060-2:2013.
* We suggest our users have their
blood pressure monitor checked
every 2 years. This operation
should only be performed by
Manufacturer or by authorized
representatives.
PRECAUTIONS
• 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
inflation automatically starts. The inflation
of the cuff creates pressure around the
arteries inside the wrist. Within the cuff
is a gauge which senses the fluctuations
(oscillations) in pressure. The fluctuation
measured represents the degree of
intensity that your arteries contracting
with each heart beat, and also a result of
the pressure that the cuff has placed on
the wrist. The monitor measures these
contractions and converts the informa-
tion to a digital value. This is the result
displayed on the monitor screen. Once
the measurement is complete, the cuff
will automatically deflate.
* Note!
1. The patient is an intended
operator.
2. The applied part is the cuff.

MEASUREMENT METHOD
MOCACuff Automatic Wrist Blood Pres-
sure Monitor measures blood pressure
and heart rate by oscillometric method,
meaning the fluctuations in pressure are
measured. Once the cuff is wrapped around
your wrist, just turn on the monitor and
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 above illustrated the variations
in blood pressure over a whole day with
measurement taken every five minutes.

2. As a safeguard, we rec-
ommend that if you have
arrhythmias such as atrial
or ventricular premature
beats and atrial fibrillation
or any other special condi-
tions you should check with
your physician before using
your device.
3. The IHB function is not
designed for use by people
with arrhythmias nor for
diagnosing or treating an
arrhythmic problem. In order
to filter the unstable status
of user and avoid affecting
the detection of heart rate
from any movement, shaking
or talking in the beginning of
measurement, the method
of averaging heart beat
intervals of subject device
is calculated with the three
proper heart beat pulses
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
The symbol will appear on screen
indicating a certain heartbeat irregularity
was detected during measurement. The
heartbeat rhythm that is more than or less
than 25% from the average rhythm is usually
defined as an irregular heartbeat rhythm.
Talking, moving, shaking or an irregu-
lar pulse during the measurement can
result in the appearance of this symbol.
Usually this is not a cause for concern,
however if the symbol appears often, we
recommend you seek medical advice.
And please note that the device does not
replace a cardiac examination, but serves to
detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
* Note!
1. The pulse display is not
suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pace-
makers. If a certain pulse
irregularity is detected
during measurement often,
we recommend you seek
pressure for people with diabetes and
chronic kidney disease. A blood pressure
of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered
high blood pressure for those individuals.
* Note !
The above table is not exact
for classification of blood
pressure and it’s intended to
be used as a guide in under-
standing non-invasive blood
pressure measurements.
Usually this is not a cause for
concern; however we recommend
you consult with your physician
for proper diagnosis or seek
medical advice according to
our recommendation mentioned
above. Please note that the
device is not appropriate for
diagnosing hypertension, and
it is only for user reference
