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 home blood pressure monitoring 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. Remain 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:
Adult Cu ts arm circumference 10” - 14” (25.4-35.5 cm)
Additional cuff ize are available for order on the enclo ed 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.
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. Extend your left arm. Find your brachial artery, which is at the
inner aspect (bend) of your elbow, Fig 1. You may be able to feel
your pulse. The artery patch should point to the brachial artery
when the cuff is applied.
4. Open the cuff creating a circle that you can slide your arm into; do
not extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
5. Insert your left arm into the cuff. Position the bottom edge of the
cuff approximately one-half inch ABOVE your elbow; when taking
your reading, the stethoscope chestpiece must directly touch the
inside of your arm, over your brachial artery.
6. With your arm extended, palm facing upward and tubes
positioned down the center of your arm, Fig 2-3, use your right
hand to pull the end of the cuff and secure the hook and loop
material. Make sure that the artery mark is still pointed to your
brachial artery.
7. The cuff should t comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You
should be able to insert one nger easily between your arm and
the cuff.

PROPER S E HOSCOPE USE AND FI
The earpieces on your Two-Party Home Blood Pressure Kit stethoscope have been carefully
calibrated to provide clear and audible acoustics. To best hear the sounds to be analyzed,
please keep the following tips in mind:
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Fig. 1 -
C rrect P siti n
Fig. 1 -
Inc rrect P siti n
The earpieces should point forward when in use, Fig1.
The earpieces should t in ears securely but comfortably.
The binaurals may be adjusted to ensure maximum
comfort and efficacy. To increase the tension, simply
squeeze the binaurals just above the joint where they
meet, crossing the earpieces, Fig 2. Do not apply too
much pressure; apply a minimum of force, slightly
increasing the pressure until the earpieces t
comfortably.
Should the earpieces be too tight, pull the binaurals
apart, grasping them just above the joint where they
meet, Fig. 3. Be gentle so as not to damage the
stethoscope.
Always use caution when adjusting the binaurals to
avoid damage. When bringing the earpieces closer
together, the maximum tension used should bring the
black tubing on either side within contact. When pulling
the binaurals apart, do not exceed 90 degrees between
the binaurals.

reparing to Take the Measurement - Caregiver
3. Position yourself in front of the patient, seated at the same level.
4. Place the stethoscope eartips in your ears and place the chestpiece
of the stethoscope on the inside of the patients arm. The
chestpiece should be partially under the cuff directly over the
brachial artery.
5. Either hold the gauge in in your hand or position the gauge so it
can be read without being moved, such as clipped to a thick
notebook or folded towel in front of you.
6. Hold the ination bulb with your free hand and turn the air release
valve clockwise to close, Fig 2.
7. Begin inating the cuff slowly and steadily by pumping the
ination bulb until the gauge reads 30 mmHG ABOVE the last
SYSTO IC measurement. If you do not know the last SYSTO IC
measurement, inate to approximately 180-200 mmHg. NEVER
INF ATE THE CUFF ABOVE 280 mmHg.

8. When you have reached the proper ination level, slowly and
steadily turn the air valve counter-clockwise at a rate of 2-3 mmHg
per second. You will be able to watch the progress of the release on
the gauge.
9. As the pressure drops, listen closely for the pulse beat while
watching the gauge. Note the rst thumping sound you hear, this
is the SYSTO IC pressure, Fig 3.
10. Allow the cuff to continue to deate. You will hear changes in the
sounds and then no sound at all. When you have heard the last
sound, note the reading measurement, this is the DIASTO IC
pressure, Fig 4.
11. Quickly turn the valve counter-clockwise to deate the remaining
air, Fig 5. Remove the cuff and record the measurement on the
included chart.
IF YOU WISH TO TAKE ANOTHER MEASUREMENT,
WAIT A MINIMUM OF 15 MINUTES BETWEEN
READINGS TO ALLOW FOR THE BLOOD VESSELS TO
RETURN TO NORMAL.
• Do not use any liquids on the gauge or cuff.
• Do not store in direct sunlight, dust or excessive humidity.
• Avoid extreme temperatures.
• Do not disassemble the gauge or cuff.
• Avoid dropping or hitting the surface of the gauge or stethoscope chestpiece.
When the cuff is fully deated, make sure that the needle on the gauge is within the zero
square range. If the needle is outside of the zero range, it needs to be recalibrated by a quali-
ed technician. Ship your gauge, prepaid, along with $5.00 for return shipping and insurance,
to Repair Department, 1175 akeside Drive, Gurnee, I 60031.

circunferencia de brazo de: 13” - 17” (33-43.2 cm)
Recuerde que es importante evitar fumar, comer, tomar medicamentos,
ingerir alcohol o hacer alguna actividad física 30 minutos antes de tomar
una lectura.
Si por algún motivo no puede o no debe usar el brazo izquierdo, modique
las instrucciones para la aplicación del brazalete en el brazo derecho. Su
médico le puede ayudar a identicar qué brazo es mejor para que tome las
medidas.
1. Quítese cualquier prenda ajustada o joya que pueda interferir con la
colocación del brazalete.
3. Extienda el brazo izquierdo. ocalice la arteria braquial, que se
encuentra en la parte interna (curvatura) del codo, Fig 1. Podrá sentir el
pulso. El parche de la arteria deberá señalar a la arteria braquial cuando
se coloque el brazalete.
4. Abra el brazalete formando un círculo a través del cual pueda deslizar el
brazo; no extienda el brazalete más allá de la barra metálica.
5. Inserte el brazo izquierdo en el brazalete. Coloque el borde inferior del
brazalete aproximadamente media pulgada (1,2 cm) ENCIMA del codo;
cuando tome la lectura, la campana del estetoscopio debe tocar
directamente la parte interna del brazo, sobre la arteria braquial.
6. Con el brazo extendido, la palma de la mano hacia arriba y los tubos
hacia el centro del brazo, Fig 2-3, use la mano derecha para tirar del
extremo del brazalete y sujetar el material de velcro. Asegúrese de que
la marca de la arteria esté apuntando a la arteria braquial.
7. El brazalete debe calzar de manera cómoda, pero ajustada, alrededor
del brazo. Debe poder insertar un dedo fácilmente entre el brazo y el
brazalete.

Se incluye olivas múltiples. Seleccione el par que le
resulte más cómodo y efectivo. as olivas tienen que

os binaurales se pueden ajustar para asegurar un
máximo confort y ecacia. Para aumentar la tensión,
simplemente apriete los binaurales justo por encima de
su punto de unión, cruzando las olivas, Fig 2. No aplique
demasiada presión; aplique una fuerza mínima,
aumentando levemente la presión hasta que las olivas
calcen cómodamente.
Si las olivas están demasiado ajustadas, separe los
binaurales, sujetándolos justo por encima de su punto
de unión, Fig. 3. Hágalo con suavidad para no dañar el
estetoscopio.
Sea siempre cuidadoso cuando ajusta los binaurales
para evitar que se dañen. Cuando acerque las olivas, la
tensión máxima utilizada hará que los tubos negros que
están a ambos lados se toquen. Cuando separe los
binaurales, no exceda los 90 grados entre ellos.
