Name/Function of Each Part
Real Fuzzy Measuring Technology
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure.
Before the cuff starts inating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the
air pressure. This unit will determine the appropriate ination level based on pressure oscillations,
followed by cuff deation.
During the deation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure oscillations and
thereby determine for you the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse.
Preliminary Remarks
This Blood Pressure Monitor complies with the European regulations and bears the CE mark “CE
0366”. The quality of the device has been veried and conforms to the provisions of the EC council
directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive), Annex I essential requirements
and applied harmonized standards.

This blood pressure monitor was designed for long service time. To ensure continued accuracy, it’s
recommended that all digital blood pressure monitors require re-calibration. This monitor does not
require re-calibration for 2 years under normal usage with approximately 3
times a day, until, at which time your monitor displays . The unit should also be re-calibrated if the
monitor sustains damage due to blunt force (such as dropping) or exposure to uids and / or extreme
hot or cold temperature / humidity changes. When appears, simply return to your nearest dealer
for re-calibration service.
About Blood Pressure
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood ows through the arteries. The
pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest)
blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood owing back into the
heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why measure your blood pressure?
Among the various health problems aficting modern people, problems associated with high blood
pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure’s dangerously strong correlation with
cardiovascular diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressures a necessity of
identifying those at risk.
Blood Pressure Standard
The National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee has developed a
blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identied.
This standard, however, is a general guideline as individual’s blood pressure varies among different
people and different age groups...etc.
This blood pressure classication are based on historical data, and may not be directly applicable
to any particular patient.

5
Blood Pressure Standard
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal
blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.
For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure, keeping longterm records is recommended.
Please download the blood pressure log (chart for recording and tracking crucial info : date, time,
blood pressure, pulse rate and body condition) at www.rossmaxhealth.com.
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure uctuates all the time!
You should not be overly worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels. Blood
pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day. It is also inuenced by season and
temperature.

Measurement Procedures
Important Notes:
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
■ Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant uctuation throughout the
day.
■Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiological
condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour after exercising, bathing,
eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
■Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurement
taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or
exhausted while taking a measurement.
■Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
■During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
■Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a
while before taking a measurement.
■If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm
location for at least one hour before using it.
■Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
