Introduction

Blood pressure measurements determined with X3 are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. This unit is to be used by adult consumers in a home environment. The patient is an intended operator. Do not use this device on whole pediatric population. X3 is protected against manufacturing defects by an established International Warranty Program. For warranty information, you can contact the manufacturer, GMC Inc.
Attention: Consult the accompanying documents. Please read this manual carefully before use. For specific information on your own blood pressure, contact your physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.

Indications For Use
The GMC Upper Arm Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Model X3 is a non- invasive blood pressure measurement device that is used for measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate using the oscillometric method for adults at home. The device has an irregular heartbeat (IHB) indicator. The device detects the appearance of an irregular heartbeat during measurement and displays an IHB symbol on the LCD with the reading once the irregular heartbeat is detected.
Real Fuzzy Measuring Technology
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air
pressure. This unit will automatically determine the appropriate inflation level based on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deflation. During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure oscillations and thereby determine your actual the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate.

Measurement Procedures

Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:

  •  Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
  • Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
  • Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking measurements.
  • Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
  • Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken.
  • Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet flat on the floor during measurement.
  • During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
  • Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot,wait a while before taking a measurement.
  • If the monitor is stored at a very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
  • Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
  1.  Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1, memory zone 2 or guest mode. After a memory zone is selected, press the ON/OFF/START key to reset the monitor so it can start measurement in the chosen memory zone.
  2. Press the ON/OFF/START key. All digits will light up, checking the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed in 2 seconds.
  3. After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking “0”. The monitor is ready to measure and will automatically inflate the cuff slowly to start measurement.
  4. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will exhaust the pressure inside. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into the pre-designated memory zone. This monitor will re-inflate automatically to approximately 220 mmHg if the system detects that your body needs more pressure to measure your blood pressure.

Note:

  1. This monitor automatically switches off approximately 1 minute after last key operation.
  2. To interrupt the measurement, simply press the ON/OFF/START key; the cuff will deflate immediately.
  3. During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
