1 Introduction
Congratulations with your purchase of the Topcom BPM Arm 5500 XLD. This fully
automatic, Arm mounted blood pressure monitor is both easy to use and ideally suited
for daily measurements. The large display includes systolic, diastolic and pulse, all
clearly shown at the completion of each reading.
In addition, you can store up to 30 measurements per Memory Zone, ideal for users who
want to monitor and track their blood pressure on a regular basis. The BPM Arm 5500
XLD is compact and portable, making it ideal for home use and travel.
2 Safety instructions
• This product is for household use only. It is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your doctor.
• For users diagnosed with common arrhythmia (atrial or ventricular premature beats
or atrial fibrillation), diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney problems, or for
users suffered from stroke, or for unconscious users, the device might not be
suitable for use. Consult your doctor in case of any doubt.
• The unit should not be operated by children to avoid hazardous situations.
• The unit contains high-precision assemblies. Therefore, avoid extreme
temperatures, humidity and direct sunlight. Avoid dropping or strongly shocking the
main unit, and protect it from dust.
• Leaking batteries can damage the unit. Remove the batteries when the unit is not
used for a long time.
• Do not press the start/stop button when the cuff is not placed around the
arm.
• Do not disassemble the main unit or cuff.
• If the unit is stored in a cold place, allow it to acclimatize at room temperature
before use.
• Clean the blood pressure monitor body and the cuff carefully with a slightly damp,
soft cloth. Do not press. Do not bend the preformed cuff inside out. Do not wash the
cuff or use chemical cleaner on it. Never use thinner, alcohol or petrol (gasoline) as
cleaner.
Please read this manual carefully before use. For specific
information on your own blood pressure, contact your
physician. Put the user guide away in a safe place for
future reference.

3 Blood pressure
3.1 What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the
arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the
heart is systolic (highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood
flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
3.2 Why measure your blood pressure?
Among the various health problems afflicting 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.
3.3 Blood pressure standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and
National High Blood Pressure Education
Program has developed a Blood pressure
standard, according to which areas of low
and high-risk blood pressure are identified.
This standard however, is a general
guideline as individual's blood pressure
varies among different people and different
groups...etc.
The WHO classification indicator on your
BPM Arm 5500 XLD will indicate the blood
pressure class together with the result.
It is important that you consult 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.

3.4 Blood pressure fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
You should not be worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day depending on
circumstances (state of mind, temperature, ...)
4 Battery installation

7 Applying the cuff
1. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc. prior to
attaching the cuff. Clothing sleeves should
be rolled up.
2. Press your brachial artery by two fingers
approximately 2,5 cm above the elbow on
the inside of your left arm to determine
where your strongest pulse is.
3. Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the
tube through the metal ring to a loop. The
smooth cloth should be on the inside of the
cuff. The Velcro will be on the outside of the
cuff.
4. Put the left arm through the cuff loop. The
bottom of the cuff should be approx. 1,5 cm
above the elbow. The cuff tube should lie
over the brachial artery on the inside of the
arm.
5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom
edges are tightened around your arm.
6. When the cuff is positioned properly, press
the Velcro firmly against the pile side of the
cuff. The metal ring will not touch your skin.
7. Relax your entire body, especially the area
between your elbow and fingers. Place your
elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the
same level as your heart. Avoid leaning back
while the measurements being taken.

8 Measurement
8.1 Important tips
• This monitor automatically switches off 1 minute after the last key operation.
• To interrupt the measurement, simply press any key. The cuff will deflate
immediately after a key is pressed.
• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To
obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• It is important that you relax during measurement. Try to take 15-minutes rest
before a reading.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension.
• 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 pressure measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
8.2 Procedure
• Press the start/stop button to activate the device.
All segments will be displayed.
• Once the actual Memory zone is displayed (U1-3), press
the memory button to select the desired memory
zone.
• If no button is pressed within 5 seconds, the measurement
will start automatically.
• The display will show the last measurement result before
inflating the cuff to the level that is right for you.
• When the right level is reached, the cuff will deflate.
This monitor will re-inflate automatically to
approximately 220mmHg if the system detects that
your body needs more pressure to measure your
blood pressure.
• When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic
and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD
screen.
• The blood pressure classification indicator will be
displayed.
• When an irregular heartbeat is detected, ‘ ’ is
displayed.
• When a mistake was detected during measurement an
error ‘Er’ message is displayed (see “10 Troubleshoot” ).
• Press the start/stop button to turn the unit off.
