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 our Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper care
and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.

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 your wrist is within the
appropriate cuff range.
Wrist Circumference Range Suitable for:
5-1/2” – 7-5/8” (14 – 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 should 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.
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with cuff
placement.
2. Be seated at a table or desk with your feet flat on the floor.
3. Hold your left arm in front of you with your palm facing upward and legs
uncrossed.
4. Apply the preformed 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 1/4” - 1/2” from the edge of the head of the ulna bone, Fig.
2.
6. The cuff should fit 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.

bank. If there is no previous measurement, the unit will display ‘0’
for all of the reading values, Fig. 3.
4. The cuff will automatically inflate to approximately 190mmHg or 40
mmHg higher than the last systolic pressure reading stored in
memory.
5. When the inflation has reached optimum level, the display will begin
to show the decreasing pressure while you feel the pressure of the
cuff decrease.

Interpreting our Results
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.
