Bluestone 80-5100 Blood Pressure Monitor
Safety Notice
Thank you for purchasing the 80-5100 Blood Pressure Monitor. The unit has been constructed using reliable circuitry and durable materials. Used properly, this unit will provide years of satisfactory use. The device is intended for use by adults 12 years and older to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. All values can be read out in one LCD DISPLAY. The measurement position is on adult’s upper arm only. Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/ stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard (ANSI/AAMI Sp10) for electronic sphygmomanometers.
Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation
- Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks.
- Do not insert foreign objects into any openings.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
- Do not crush the pressure cuff.
- If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0 C, leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes before using it. Otherwise, the cuff may not inflate properly.
- Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity, or dust.
- To avoid any possibility of accidental strangulation, keep this unit away from children and do not drape tubing around your neck.
- Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsupervised; some parts are small enough to be swallowed.
- Some may get skin irritation from the cuff taking frequent readings over the course of the day, but this irritation typically goes away on its own after the monitor is removed.
Important Instructions
Before Use
- Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with your medical history.
- Contact your physician if test results regularly indicate abnormal readings.
- If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure.
- NEVER change a prescribed medication without first consulting with your physician.
- Individuals with serious circulation problems may experience discomfort. Consult your physician prior to use.
- For persons with irregular or unstable circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease, arteriosclerosis, or other medical conditions, there may be variations in blood pressure values measured at the wrist versus at the upper arm.
- Monitoring the trends in your blood pressure taken at either the arm or the wrist is nevertheless useful and important.
- People suffering from vascular constriction, liver disorders, or diabetes, people with cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are pregnant should consult their physician before measuring their blood pressure themselves.
- Different values may be obtained due to their condition.
- People suffering from arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation only use this blood pressure monitor in consultation with your doctor.
- In certain cases, the oscillometric measurement method can produce incorrect readings.
- too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood flow interference.
- The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.
- Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt.
- The cuff inflation can temporarily block blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
- The cuff should not be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
- In the case of a double mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.
- Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used monitoring equipment on the same limb
- A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cuff pressure resulting in blood flow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient.

- The product is not intended for infants or individuals who cannot express their intentions.
- Any hazards associated with prolonged overinflation of the bladder.
- Do not disassemble the unit or arm cuff. Do not attempt to repair. 19. Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect measurement results.
- The system might produce incorrect readings if stored or used outside the manufacturer’s specified temperature and humidity ranges.
- Do not use cell phones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the device, as they may cause incorrect readings and interference or become interference source to the device.
- Do not mix new and old batteries simultaneously
- Replace batteries when the Low Battery Indicator” ” appears on the screen. Replace both batteries at the same time.
- Do not mix battery types. Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended
- Remove batteries from the device when not in operation for more than 3 months.

Testing
Power On
Press and hold the “START/STOP” button until a beep sounds. The LCD screen
will appear for one second as the unit performs a quick diagnosis. A long tone
indicates the device is ready for testing.

Troubleshooting
Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure Information
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries. It is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg.) Systolic blood pressure is the maximum force exerted against blood vessel walls each time the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats. An individual’s blood pressure frequently changes throughout the course of a day. Excitement and tension can cause blood pressure to rise, while drinking alcohol and bathing can lower blood pressure. Certain hormones like adrenaline (which your body releases under stress) can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a rise in blood pressure. If these measuring numbers become too high, it means the heart is working harder than it should.
WHO Blood Pressure Classification Indicator
The 80-5100 is equipped with a classification indicator based on established
guidelines from the World Health Organization. The chart below (color-coded on
the monitor unit) indicates test results.
Health Reminder
Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality of life. It
can lead to a lot of problems including heart failure, kidney failure, and
cerebral hemorrhaging. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visiting your
physician on a regular basis, hypertension and relative diseases are much
easier to control when diagnosed in the early stages.
Note : Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs. A better indication of an individual’s blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time each day over an extended period of time. Consult your physician if test results remain abnormal
Blood Pressure Q&A 34
Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home or at a
professional healthcare clinic?
A: Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a more accurate
account as they better reflect your daily life. Readings can be elevated when
taken in a clinical or medical environment. This is known as White Coat
Hypertension and may be caused by feeling anxious or nervous.
Q: What causes different readings?
A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day. Many factors
including diet, stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect an individual’s blood
pressure.
Q: Should I apply the cuff to the left or right wrist? What is the
difference?
A: Either wrist can be used when testing, however, when comparing results, the
same wrist should be used. Testing on your left wrist may provide more
accurate results as it is located closer to your heart.
Q: What is the best time of day for testing?
A: Morning time or any time you feel relaxed and stress-free.
