CARE & SAFETY INFORMATION

6– ENGLISH
It is recommended that you first seek the advice and recommendation of your physician or
healthcare professional when using home diagnostic devices, including blood pressure
monitors.
Semi-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 lectronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.
Thank you for purchasing a Semi-Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper
care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.

BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR FEATURES

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 as 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.

Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the
appropriate size cuff.
To determine the proper cuff size, measure the circumference of your
left upper arm at the point midway between inside bend of your elbow
and your shoulder, Fig 1.
Adult Cuff fits arm circumference 11-3/4” - 16-1/2” (30-42 cm)
Additional cuff sizes are available for order on the enclosed order form.
If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm,
please modify the instructions for cuff application to your right arm.
Your physician can help you identify which arm is best for you to take
measurements from.
1. The cuff should not be plugged into the monitor until after the cuff is
applied to your arm.
2. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with
cuff placement.
3. Be seated at a table or desk with your feet flat on the floor and legs
uncrossed.
4. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing up and
away from you. The metal ring/bar on the cuff should be to the left
of the tubing.

5. Open the cuff by pulling or rolling the bottom of the cuff to the
right, Fig 2. This should open the cuff without fully unrolling it,
creating a cylinder. Do not extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
6. Insert your left arm into the created cuff cylinder. Position the
index mark over the main artery on the inside of your arm,
Fig 3, 4.
7. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned approximately
one inch above the elbow joint, Fig 5.
8. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You
should be able to insert one finger easily between your arm and
the cuff.
The cuff size is suitable for use when the vertical index mark is
within the horizontal OK range. A different size cuff is needed if the
mark is outside the OK range.
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.

6. Begin taking your measurement by first inflating the cuff using the
attached inflation bulb. Using your right hand, squeeze and release
the bulb at a steady pace. The inflation pressure should reach 50-60
mmHg above your normal systolic pressure; if the pressure in the
cuff is insufficient, an upward arrow will flash on the display.
Continue to steadily inflate the cuff. When the unit beeps, cease
inflating the cuff.
7. The cuff will begin to automatically deflate; the display will begin to
show the decreasing pressure while you feel the pressure of the cuff
decrease.
8. Your blood pressure measurement and pulse will display
simultaneously on the screen, Fig 5. Both the systolic and diastolic
readings will display at the same time.
9. The Hypertension Indicator will indicate your reading range in the
left side of the display, Fig 6. See page 16 for a chart interpreting the
Hypertension Indicator results.
10. If an irregular heartbeat was detected during the reading, the
Irregular Heartbeat Detector will appear on the display, Fig 7. See
page 15 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector
indicator feature.
11. The reading will automatically be stored in memory, up to 60
readings.
12. Select POWER button to turn the unit off and conserve energy and
battery life. The unit will automatically shut-off and revert to
time/date mode after approximately 1 minute.

Irregular Heartbeat Detection
An irregular heartbeat is defined 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.
