SMARTHEART 01-563 Automatic Digital Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

THIS QUICK START GUIDE IS INTENDED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE MANUAL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.

Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the appropriate size cuff:
Wide-Range Adult Cuff fits arm circumference: 8.6”—16.5” (22—42 cm). Additional cuffs are available for order on the included order form or by calling 866-326-1313. A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the body prior to taking a reading. No eating, drinking or smoking while resting.

Applying the Arm Cuff

Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with cuff placement. Wrap the cuff snugly around your left arm. Position the cuff’s bottom edge half an inch ABOVE the elbow joint. Position the air tubing over the main artery (on the inside of your arm). You should be able to insert one finger between your arm and cuff

Taking Your Measurement

Please read the preceding portions of this manual prior to taking your first reading. Reminder, it is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.

1. Position the monitor on a flat, stable surface with the digital display in view. After applying the cuff insert the cuff tubing connector into the port on the left side of your monitor. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing upward. Elevate your arm so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart, Fig 1. Relax your left hand.
2. Press and release the POWER button to turn the unit on; the unit will briefly flash a self-test, Fig 2.
3. The measurement results will default to the memory bank in use. To select a memory bank, while the results show on the display, press M1 or M2 to store the results.
4. The cuff will automatically inflate; you will see the numbers increase on the display screen and feel the cuff inflate.
5. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will automatically deflate, then your blood pressure measurement and pulse reading results will show on the display screen at the same time, Fig 3.
6. Consult the included Instruction Manual for information on interpreting your reading results.
7. The reading will automatically be stored in memory, up to 60 readings per user bank.
8. Select POWER to turn the unit off and conserve energy and battery life. The unit will automatically shut-off approximately 1 minute after use.

Please Note:

• You can stop the inflation or deflation process of the cuff at any time by pressing the POWER button.
• Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety, muscular development, certain medications or even the time of day can influence blood pressure.
• Blood pressure varies from moment to moment; even readings taken after proper rest periods can vary. Home blood pressure readings may vary as much as 10-20 points from ones taken at your doctor’s office.
• Variations in your individual readings should only be interpreted by your physician or trained health care professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician to achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor.
