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.

• 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

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.

Pressurization
Initial pressure is first pumped to 190mmHg. If the current user’s systolic blood pressure is over 190mmHg, the unit will automatically re-inflate to the proper shelf.

Testing
After cuff inflation, air will slowly subside as indicated by the corresponding cuff pressure value. A flashing ” ” will appear simultaneously on-screen signaling heartbeat detection

Result Display
Three short beeps sound when testing is complete. The screen will display measurements for systolic and diastolic blood pressure. An indicator representing the current measurement will appear next to the corresponding WHO Classification.

Irregular Heartbeat Indicator
If the monitor detects an irregular heart rhythm two or more times during the measuring process, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol “ “appears on the screen along with measurement results. Irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is either 25% slower or faster than the average rhythm detected while measuring systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Consult your physician if the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol “ ” frequently appears with your test results.

Press the “M” button again, you may check past test results.Upon activating test results, you can press the”M “button to scroll through all test results stored in memory. The LCD will display the last memory as NO: 01 reading

Memory Deletion
Memory for a selected group may be deleted while in Memory Check mode. Press and hold the ” SET ” button for approximately 3 seconds to delete all memory records from the selected group. The monitor will beep indicating successful deletion and then transfer into testing mode. To delete memories from other groups, please refer to ” Select Memory Group ” on page 10. Then press the ” START/STOP ” button to turn the unit off.

Low Battery Indicator
4 short warning beeps sound when battery life is depleting and unable to inflate cuff for testing. The “ ” appears simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds prior to shutting down. No memory loss will occur throughout this process. Replace batteries at this time No memory loss will occur throughout this process.

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.
