Helpful Information

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood Pressure is the force that blood exerts on the arteries, This force is constantly changing as the heart beats. When the heart contracts,blood pressure reaches its highest value. This is called systolic blood pressure.
When the heart relaxes between beats,the value of blood pressure is lower.
This is called the diastolic blood pressure. The device of measure for blood pressure is the millimeter of mercury, abbreviated mmHg.
For example, an individual’s blood pressure may be measured as 120 mmtg( systolic) and 80 mmHg (diastolic), This would be spoken as 120 over 80″ and written as “120/80.
Remember that blood pressure varies throughout the day. Food intakes, smoking, time of day, stress, level of exercise and many other factors can affect it,

Typical daily blood pressusre fluctuations
(Example:35-year-old male)

What is High Blood Pressure?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure,is a condition where an individual’s blood pressure remains high over a long period of time. Untreated, Hypertension can cause many serious medical problems including strokes and heart attacks. To control hypertension, the American Heart Association recommends that you not smoke, reduce fat and salt intake, maintain proper weight, exercise and get regular physical check-ups.

Why is it Important to Measure Your Blood Pressure at Home?
Having your blood pressure taken at the doctor’s office may cause you to become nervous, thus artificially raising your reading.Having the ability to take your blood pressure at home makes it easy to record a log of your daily readings. This will help you gain a greater understanding of your blood pressure reading and the factors that affect it. Be sure that you share your information with your physician.

Hints for Accurate Measurement

1. Relax and try to remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before a measurement.

2. Remove any clothing on the upper arm so that the cuff can be placed directly on the skin.Constriction of the upper arm caused by rolling up a shirt sleeve may cause an inaccurate reading Avoid this condition by completely removing the garment causing the constriction.

3. Refrain from eating, smoking, and drinking (especially alcoholic beverages) before a measurement sine these activities can affect your blood pressure.

4. Remember that blood pressure varies continuously throughout the day.
   Try to take your blood pressure at the same time each day.

5. Do not be concerned with the results of one measurement. Many measurements, recorded over a long period of time, will provide a better indication of your blood pressure.

6. Please relax for S to 10 minutes before taking another measurement.

7. Many factors can affect your blood pressure such as exercising, eating, talking, moving, nervousness, environment and temperature changes, emotional stress can cause an increase in blood pressure Daily fluctuations of 25 to 50 mmHg are common.

Please note;
Some individuals with hypertension, diabetes, kidney disorders, arteriosclerosis or poor circulation may see a significant difference in blood pressure readings taken from the wrist as compared to readings from the upper arm.It is recommended that you consult with your physician concerning the use of this monitor.

Correct Method of Measurement

To obtain the most accurate blood pressure measurement, please follow these important directions.

• Be seated in a chair with back support.
• Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
• Place both feet on the ground

IMPORTANT:
The arm cuff must be at the same level as your heart, or accurate measurement will not possible.(Your heart is located slightly below your left armpit.)

 Preparation Before Taking a Measurement

Battery Installation / Replacement

1. slide the battery cover off in the direction of the arrow.
2. Install or replace the four alkaline”AA”batteries, noting the proper orientation of positive(+) and negative (-) terminals of the batteries in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
4. If the Low Battery Symbol appears on the display, replace all batteries with new ones.
5. Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period of time.

Note
Batteries are hazardous waste.Do not dispose them together with the household garbage.

How to Apply the Arm Cuff
(Preferably the left arm.)

1. Insert the end of the cuff through the D-Ring to make a loop.(Make sure that the Velcro stays outside when it is done.)

2. Ware the arm cuff with the hose downward.
   Pull the end of the cuff and secure it snugly with the velcro.

3. Adjust the cuff that the bottom edge is about 1 inch above the elbow on the inside of the left arm. Please mind the colored area on the cuff covers the brachia artery.

4. Plug in the air tube connector to the monitor.

1. After the cuff has been properly placed on the arm, please press Set button and select on the up left-hand corner of the LCD screen, and then press the Start/ Stop button.

2. After the display reads “00”, the cuff will automatically inflate to an appropriate pressure. After the inflation, it slowly deflates to take the measurement. When the heart mark” “appears which indicates the measurement is in process. The cuff will be quite snug for a short while, this is normal. Try to remain relaxed, refrain from talking, and be as still as possible during the measurement.
   Note: If the device determined that the initial inflation pressure was insufficient, it will re-inflate to a higher pressure.

3. The device will completely deflate when the measurement is finished. The systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate will be displayed.

To end measurement for any reason, just press Start/stop button to turn off the unit and release the cuff pressure.
If during a measurement the power drops to an insufficient level, the device will end the measurement and display the low battery symbol. Please replace the batteries and repeat the measurement.

   Note: Press the Memory button once will cause the display to advance by one digit.

Memory Funetion

Memory input
When a valid measurement is made, the result (systolic, diastolic, pulse rate, date and time) will be stored in the memory automatically as soon as the device is turned off or when another measurement is initiated. The device is capable to store 2×90 readings, and also compute the average of the latest 3 readings. When readings stored more than 90, the oldest ones will be replaced.
