PART NAMES AND PRODUCT COMPONENTS
GENERAL INFORMATION
INDICATIONS FOR USE
This product is intended for noninvasive measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure,
determination of pulse rate and calculation of pulse pressure in adults in a home healthcare environment.
The product is not designed for neonatal use. Please consult with your doctor or physician to use this
product to take blood pressure of child or person in pregnancy or under pre-eclamptic condition.
WHO CLASSIFICATION SYMBOL
Measured blood pressure values
are classified against WHO
guideline (2009).
The higher class applies when
systolic and diastolic pressures fall
into different classes. For specific
information on your blood pressure,
contact your physician. Never make
any judgment on your own based
on the classification indication only.
PULSE PRESSURE DISPLAY
This product calculates and displays pulse pressure.
While systolic blood pressure keeps increasing with age, diastolic blood pressure tends to start
decreasing at around age 50. Pulse pressure is value subtracting diastolic value from systolic value and
therefore pulse pressure tends to increase with age. Pulse pressure has been considered to be related to
stiffness of artery and has been studied as one of circulatory risk factors. It is sometimes said that 45
mmHg of pulse pressure is normal value. Pulse pressure only does not represent arterial sclerosis.
However, observation of pulse pressure in long term will be important.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keep the product clean. Inspect its cleanliness after use. To clean, use only a soft dry cloth. Do not use
gasoline, paint thinner, or other strong solvents. Since the cuff may absorb perspiration and other fluids, inspect
it for stain and discoloration after each use. When cleaning the cuff, use a synthetic detergent and gently rub
the surface. Air dry thoroughly. Make sure fluid never gets in AIR HOSE. Do not machine wash or scrub it.
When storing the product, do not place heavy objects on it. Do not fold or bend the cuff forcibly. To
disconnect the cuff from the main unit, do not pull AIR HOSE but hold AIR PLUG and unplug it. Do not
coil AIR HOSE too tightly. When the product has been stored at a temperature below the freezing point,
keep it for at least 1 hour in a warm place before using. Remove the batteries if the product is to be
stored for an extended period of time. Keep the batteries out of reach of children.
We suggest that you have your blood pressure monitor checked every 2 years. This operation may only
be performed by the manufacturer or by firms authorized by the manufacturer.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
This product employs the oscillometric method for measurement of blood pressure and pulse rate. The
cuff is connected to the main unit and wrapped around the arm. Circuits within the cuff sense the small
oscillations in pressure against the cuff produced by the expansion and contraction of the arteries in
the arm in response to each heart beat. The amplitude of each pressure waves is measured,
converted to millimeters of mercury, and displayed on the LCD as a digital value.
MEASUREMENT ON INFLATION
Initially the cuff is rapidly inflated to the prescribed value at the
beginning of a measurement, during which the inflation mark is
displayed. After the pressure reaches this point, the inflation mark
disappears and the cuff is inflated more gradually, during which
pulse wave is detected. As pulse wave is detected, heart mark
flashes with synchronizing beep. Measurement ends when systolic
blood pressure is determined and air is exhausted from the cuff.
PERSONAL MODE
The inflation is adjusted based on the latest three readings in the
selected bank, either [1] or [2], to shorten the measurement time
and to improve comfort.
For example, high diastolic blood pressure values from past three
measurements will lead to inflation to higher pressure value than
the default value. In the event that this value is too high for your
current blood pressure, the cuff will rapidly deflate and
measurement will restart.
To use the personal mode effectively, chose the memory bank before starting a measurement. This
monitor remembers the last memory bank that was displayed. To choose the memory bank before
starting a measurement, display a reading saved in the desired memory bank, turn off the monitor
once and then start measurement.
BODY MOTION SYMBOL
Blood pressure value taken while moving cannot be said to be the correct value because body
movement can affect blood pressure.
This product analyzes pulse wave and displays [ ] when body motion is detected.
[ ] indicates the results might be affected by body movement.
IRREGULAR PULSE RHYTHM SYMBOL
Pulse rhythm can be disturbed from talking, moving or
arrhythmias. This product displays [ ]when the
difference of shortest and longest time intervals between
pulse waves is over 25%, indicating irregular pulse
rhythm.
MEMORY FUNCTION
The measured values are automatically saved for later review in either one of two memory banks, [1]
or [2]. These two memory banks can be used to save readings of two persons separately or to save
morning readings and evening readings separately.
Each bank can save up to 60 readings. When the number of stored readings reaches 60, the oldest
reading will be deleted to record new reading.
Saved readings are recalled with measurement date and time when clock function is activated. *The clock
needs to be activated before measurement for date and time to be saved with the measured valued.
[Err] results are not saved.

TIPS ON TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart in pumping the blood through the arteries and the
resistance by the veins in this flow.
Blood pressure varies all the time, influenced by mental and physical factors, and is never
constant.
In general, blood pressure is highest during the working hours and gradually decreases during the afternoon
and evening hours. It is low during sleep and increases at a relatively fast rate after arising from bed.
Causes for Changes in Blood Pressure
· Time and season · Physical activity · Taking medicine for high blood pressure
· Eating and drinking (including Alcohol) ·
Smoking · Mental nervousness · Bathing
· The urge to urinate ·
Conversation · Other environment (during medical examination etc.)
· Measurement posture (including the cuff level against the heart)
Let a qualified physician interpret your blood pressure readings.
Depending on your age, weight and general condition, blood pressure can be slightly different. Consult
with your doctor on determining what blood pressure is normal for you.
Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured in a hospital,
clinic or doctor's office.
This is because you are tense at the hospital and relaxed at home. It is important to know your stable
normal blood pressure at home.
Before taking blood pressure, rest for approximately five minutes and take your blood pressure while
relaxed in a quiet environment.
Measure blood pressure using the correct posture and do not move or speak during measurement.
Avoid exercise, eating, drinking alcohol, smoking and other activities that affect your blood pressure
right before a measurement.
Take your blood pressure at the same time every day.
The ambient temperature should be approximately 20˚C when you take your blood pressure.
Reading may vary slightly, depending on posture, whether sitting or lying.

The cuff is applicable to arm with circumference between 22 and 32
cm. Take your arm size before measurement.
Choose your memory bank before measurement to use the
personal mode effectively.
Inaccurate readings may result if cuff is
wrapped over heavy clothing or tight shirt that
may restrict circulation in your upper arm or if
sleeve is rolled up.

CONNECTOR
OPERATION WITH AC ADAPTOR
AC CONNECTOR is located at the side of the monitor.
Use the designated AC adaptor only.
It is suggested to take out the batteries when using the adapter. However, the clock is inactivated as the
AC adaptor is unplugged and therefore you may insert the batteries to keep the clock activated. In such
case, please make a few measurement without plugging the adaptor to avoid battery leak.
Do not connect the AC adaptor to any power socket where accessibility is not satisfying.
AC CONNECTOR
Protection: This device is double insulated and protected against short circuit and overload by a
primary thermal fuse.
Enclosures and Protective Covers: Equipment enclosed to protect against contact with live parts,
and with parts which can become live (finger, pin, hook test).
SIT ON A CHAIR AND APPLY CUFF.
Find a chair and a table so that you can be comfortably seated with your feet flat on the floor and your
back and arm supported.
Put the cuff on your left arm with AIR HOSE
positioned toward your hand.

Adjust the position of the cuff so that AIR HOSE is over the
inner part of your arm over the brachial artery.
Press the surface of the cuff to make sure that the hook &
loop fastens securely.
Attach the cuff with hook and loop fastener with
the lower edge of the cuff approximately 2 to 3 cm
above the inner elbow.
The cuff should fit snugly, leaving enough space for two fingers to be put between
your arm and the cuff.
If the cuff is wrapped more tightly or loosely
than this, inaccurate blood pressure
readings may result.

BATTERIES
Install four “AA” type batteries into the compartment.
Make sure that the polarities correspond to the (+) and (–)
marks inside the battery compartment.
Batteries can be easily installed or removed as their (-) ends
are pushed against the spring.
You will hear a beep as the batteries are installed.
NOTE: The beep will not sound if AC adaptor is connected.
Battery symbol [ ] will flash when battery power is low. Measurement can not be made while the
symbol is displayed. Replace the batteries. All four batteries need to be replaced with new ones; do
not mix new and old batteries or different batteries.
The symbol might appear only during measurement although you can review readings in memory. This is
because more battery power is required for conducting a measurement, e.g. inflating the cuff, than
displaying the readings in memory. Please have the batteries replaced.
The enclosed batteries are for monitoring, and their life may be shorter than that of commercial batteries.
Close the battery compartment cover. Do not force the battery cover into position.

INDICATIONS FOR USE
This product is intended for noninvasive measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure,
determination of pulse rate and calculation of pulse pressure in adults in a home healthcare environment.
The product is not designed for neonatal use. Please consult with your doctor or physician to use this
product to take blood pressure of child or person in pregnancy or under pre-eclamptic condition.
WHO CLASSIFICATION SYMBOL
Measured blood pressure values
are classified against WHO
guideline (2009).
The higher class applies when
systolic and diastolic pressures fall
into different classes. For specific
information on your blood pressure,
contact your physician. Never make
any judgment on your own based
on the classification indication only.
PULSE PRESSURE DISPLAY
This product calculates and displays pulse pressure.
While systolic blood pressure keeps increasing with age, diastolic blood pressure tends to start
decreasing at around age 50. Pulse pressure is value subtracting diastolic value from systolic value and
therefore pulse pressure tends to increase with age. Pulse pressure has been considered to be related to
stiffness of artery and has been studied as one of circulatory risk factors. It is sometimes said that 45
mmHg of pulse pressure is normal value. Pulse pressure only does not represent arterial sclerosis.
However, observation of pulse pressure in long term will be important.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keep the product clean. Inspect its cleanliness after use. To clean, use only a soft dry cloth. Do not use
gasoline, paint thinner, or other strong solvents. Since the cuff may absorb perspiration and other fluids, inspect
it for stain and discoloration after each use. When cleaning the cuff, use a synthetic detergent and gently rub
the surface. Air dry thoroughly. Make sure fluid never gets in AIR HOSE. Do not machine wash or scrub it.
When storing the product, do not place heavy objects on it. Do not fold or bend the cuff forcibly. To
disconnect the cuff from the main unit, do not pull AIR HOSE but hold AIR PLUG and unplug it. Do not
coil AIR HOSE too tightly. When the product has been stored at a temperature below the freezing point,
keep it for at least 1 hour in a warm place before using. Remove the batteries if the product is to be
stored for an extended period of time. Keep the batteries out of reach of children.
We suggest that you have your blood pressure monitor checked every 2 years. This operation may only
be performed by the manufacturer or by firms authorized by the manufacturer.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
This product employs the oscillometric method for measurement of blood pressure and pulse rate. The
cuff is connected to the main unit and wrapped around the arm. Circuits within the cuff sense the small
oscillations in pressure against the cuff produced by the expansion and contraction of the arteries in
the arm in response to each heart beat. The amplitude of each pressure waves is measured,
converted to millimeters of mercury, and displayed on the LCD as a digital value.
MEASUREMENT ON INFLATION
Initially the cuff is rapidly inflated to the prescribed value at the
beginning of a measurement, during which the inflation mark is
displayed. After the pressure reaches this point, the inflation mark
disappears and the cuff is inflated more gradually, during which
pulse wave is detected. As pulse wave is detected, heart mark
flashes with synchronizing beep. Measurement ends when systolic
blood pressure is determined and air is exhausted from the cuff.
PERSONAL MODE
The inflation is adjusted based on the latest three readings in the
selected bank, either [1] or [2], to shorten the measurement time
and to improve comfort.
For example, high diastolic blood pressure values from past three
measurements will lead to inflation to higher pressure value than
the default value. In the event that this value is too high for your
current blood pressure, the cuff will rapidly deflate and
measurement will restart.
To use the personal mode effectively, chose the memory bank before starting a measurement. This
monitor remembers the last memory bank that was displayed. To choose the memory bank before
starting a measurement, display a reading saved in the desired memory bank, turn off the monitor
once and then start measurement.
BODY MOTION SYMBOL
Blood pressure value taken while moving cannot be said to be the correct value because body
movement can affect blood pressure.
This product analyzes pulse wave and displays [ ] when body motion is detected.
[ ] indicates the results might be affected by body movement.
IRREGULAR PULSE RHYTHM SYMBOL
Pulse rhythm can be disturbed from talking, moving or
arrhythmias. This product displays [ ]when the
difference of shortest and longest time intervals between
pulse waves is over 25%, indicating irregular pulse
rhythm.
MEMORY FUNCTION
The measured values are automatically saved for later review in either one of two memory banks, [1]
or [2]. These two memory banks can be used to save readings of two persons separately or to save
morning readings and evening readings separately.
Each bank can save up to 60 readings. When the number of stored readings reaches 60, the oldest
reading will be deleted to record new reading.
Saved readings are recalled with measurement date and time when clock function is activated. *The clock
needs to be activated before measurement for date and time to be saved with the measured valued.
[Err] results are not saved.
