INTRODUCTION & INDICATIONS FOR USE
It is recommended that you rst seek the advice and recommendation of your
physician or healthcare professional when using home diagnostic devices,
including blood pressure monitors.
Automatic digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method to
electronically measure your blood pressure. The monitor detects your blood’s
movement through the artery in your arm and converts the movements into a
digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making
the monitor ideal for home use.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to
measurements obtained by a trained healthcare professional using the cuff/
stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American
National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Thank you for purchasing an Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With
proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable
readings.
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT.

GETTING STARTED
Before taking a measurement
1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or healthcare
professional with access to your individual medical history. Regular use of a
home blood pressure monitor will allow you to track and record your readings
for discussion with your physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a relaxed position.
Rest for 15 minutes before taking your reading. If an error occurs or you desire
to take a second reading, allow 15 minutes between readings for your blood
vessels to return to normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical activity or any
other stressful activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may interfere with the
cuff placement.
5. Keep yourself and the monitor still during measuring; do not talk during the
reading.
6. It is recommended that you take your readings at the same time each day to
better monitor any indications in your results.
7. Record your daily measurement on the included chart or some other written
document to share with your physician.

FITTING & APPLYING YOUR CUFF
PROPER CUFF FIT AND PLACEMENT IS CRITICAL IN
OBTAINING ACCURATE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND
CONSIDER CONSULTING WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR
FURTHER DIRECTION.
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure your wrist is within the
appropriate cuff range:
Wrist Circumference Range Suitable for 5.5” – 7.6” (14 cm – 19.5 cm).
Reminder, it is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol
consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
If for any reason you are unable to or cannot not use your left wrist, please modify
the instructions for cuff application to your right wrist. Your physician can help you
identify which wrist is best for you to take measurements from.
Applying Your Cuff
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or
jewelry that may interfere with cuff
placement.
2. Be seated at a table or desk with your
feet at on the oor.
3. Hold your left arm in front of you with
your palm facing upward.

4. Apply the cuff to your left wrist so that the digital
display face is positioned on the inside area of
your wrist facing you, Fig. 1.
5. Adjust the cuff approximately 0.5” from the edge
of the head of the ulna bone, Fig. 2.
6. The cuff should t comfortably, yet snugly around
your wrist.
If you are not comfortable with applying your cuff,
please seek the assistance of another member of your
household or work with your physician to practice the
cuff application. Incorrectly applied cuffs may result in
inaccurate readings.

16 • ENGLISH
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
1. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your
palm facing upward. Elevate your arm so that
the cuff is at the same level as your heart, Fig
1. Be certain that cuff is elevated to the proper
level; you may choose to support your hand
with a folded towel or book. Relax your left
hand. Be seated with your feet at on the oor
and legs uncrossed.
2. Press and release the START/POWER button
to turn on device. The unit will run a self-test,
Fig. 2
3. The display will briey show a ashing arrow
and ‘0’ before the measurement begins, Fig 3.
4. The cuff will automatically inate to
approximately190mmhg or 40 mmhg higher
than the last systolic pressure reading stored in
memory.
5. When the ination has reached optimum level,
the display will begin to show the decreasing
pressure while you feel the pressure of the cuff
decrease.
Fig. 1
Please read the preceding portions of this manual
prior to taking your rst reading.

Irregular Heartbeat Detector
An irregular heartbeat is dened as a heartbeat rhythm that is more than 25%
slower or 25% faster than the average measurement detected while the monitor is
conducting the measurement. When this device detects an irregular rhythm two or
more times during the reading, the IHB symbol will appear on the display screen.
This monitor will operate if the icon appears, but the results may be compromised,
especially if this symbol appears often. Please consult with your physician or
trained healthcare professional for further information regarding an irregular
heartbeat and if this symbol appears frequently.
