SAFETY INFORMATION

This Vitagoods Life Report System device measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure
and pulse rate of an adult by using a pressurized cuff on the left wrist. The device is
not intended for use on infants and children. The device is designed for home use only,
and is not intended for ambulatory measurement (measurement recorded continuously
throughout the day).
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those
obtained by a trained observer using the American National Standard, Manuel,
Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers.
If you suffer from disorder of heart rhythm (arrhythmia), only use this blood pressure
monitor after consulting with your physician. In certain oscillometric cases, this
measurement method may produce incorrect readings.
This Life Report System device is not intended to be a diagnostic device. Contact your
physician immediately if pre-hypertensive or hypertensive values are indicated.
CAUTION
Read this user manuel thoroughly before use. This device is designed and manufactured to
operate within defined design limits. Misuse may result in harm. The following should be
observed to best use and maintain your device:
• This device is intended for adult use only.
• This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure.
It is not intended for use on body extremities other than the wrist. • Its sole function is blood
pressure measurement.
• Monitoring blood pressure with this device does not equate to a medical diagnosis.
• This device allows you to monitor your blood pressure under the care of a physician.
• If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate
time for your measurement. Never change a prescribed medication without your physician’s
consent.
• This device is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or
operations.
• If the pressure of the cuff exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the device will automatically deflate.
Should the cuff not deflate when its pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff
from the wrist and press START/STOP to stop inflation.
• Do not use the monitor under the conditions of strong electromagnetic field (e.g. medical
radio frequency equipment) that radiates interference signal or electrical fast transient/burst
signal.
• The device is not AP/APG equipment. It is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable
gases (avoid oxygen, nitrous oxide).
• Keep the unit out of reach of infants or children. Inhalation or swallowing of the device’s small
pieces is dangerous or even fatal.
• Use only accessories and detachable parts specified and authorized by the manufacturer.
Not doing so may cause damage to the unit or danger to you.

SYSTOLIC PRESSURE AND DIASTOLIC PRESSURE
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
STANDARD BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION
When ventricles contract and pump blood out
of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its
maximum value in the cycle, systolic pressure.
When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure
reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is
called diastolic pressure.
Measuring your own blood pressure is an important way of monitoring your health. High
blood pressure (hypertension) is a major health problem, which can be treated effectively
once detected. Measuring your own blood pressure between doctor visits on a regular
basis and keeping accurate records helps monitor any significant changes in blood
pressure.
CAUTION
Please contact your physician if your measurment results are outside of the
normal range. Only a physician can tell you whether your blood pressure
value has reached a dangerous point.
This chart is the standard blood pressure classification published by American Heart
Association (AHA).

BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS
HOSPITAL VERSUS HOME READINGS
WRIST CHOICE
Why does my blood pressure measurement change within a one-day period?
• Individual blood pressure varies throughout the day. Measurements are also
affected by the way you fasten your cuff and your measurement position. Try to
daily take measurements at the same time and in the same condition.
• Individuals who take medication are more prone to variation in blood pressure.
• To ensure the most accurate measurements, wait at least five (5) minutes before
conducting another.
Why does my blood pressure measurement in a hospital differ from home?
Blood pressure variations are common. Measurements are different during
a 24-hour period due to both internal (exercise, stress, etc.) and external
(weather, etc.) conditions.
Is the result the same if I measure on my right wrist instead of my left wrist?
You should try to use your left wrist but can use your right wrist. Reading results
between both wrists tend to be random, but the difference is usually not
significant.
Guidelines to measure your blood pressure
at home:
• Fasten the cuff securely on your wrist.
• Make sure the cuff is not too tight or too
loose.
• Avoid use if pressure on your body gives
you anxiety.
• Take three deep breaths before beginning
the measurement.
