Page 7: How Ua-774 Works
HOW UA-774 WORKS LifeSource™ Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” — a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat. -
Page 8: Selecting The Correct Cuff Size
SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. -
Page 9: Taking Your Blood Pressure
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE The UA-774 has several modes available to fit your blood pressure monitoring needs. Normal Measurement with Readings Stored in Memory Press the START 1 or START 2 button. Your blood pressure is measured and the reading is stored into memory. Each START button can store up to 30 readings in memory. - Page 10 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps: Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface so that the center of your upper arm is at the same height as your heart. Lay left arm on the table, palm up and thread cuff end through metal loop, smooth side against arm.
- Page 11 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press either START button again. NOTE: The maximum cuff pressure is set at 280 mmHg. If it reaches 280 mmHg, the auto exhaust will be triggered and cuff pressure will deflate to 0.

Page 12: About Average Reading
MEASUREMENTS STORED IN MEMORY ABOUT MEMORY The memory function on the UA-774 blood pressure monitor is designed for two people. For each START button, the monitor can store up to 30 readings in memory. To keep track of previous measurements accurately, we recommend that you use the same START button each time you take a blood pressure reading. -
Page 13: What Is An Irregular Heartbeat
WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT The UA-774 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement. -
Page 14: Using The Monitor With Ac Adapter
USING THE MONITOR WITH AC ADAPTER The UA-774 has an AC adapter jack to allow you to supply power from an outlet in your home. We recommend you use only the exclusive AC adapter (Model TB:181) to avoid potential damage to the monitor. -
