LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and display
®
clear digital measurements. Our technology is based on the "oscillometric
method". The term "oscillation" refers to the measure of vibrations caused
by the arterial pulse and is a non-invasive method to determine blood
pressure.
Our monitors examine the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall
as it expands and contracts with each heartbeat against the monitor's cuff.
This monitor measures your blood pressure while the cuff is inflating.

The UB-521CN provides accurate readings on wrists with a circumference
between 5.3" and 8.5" (13.5 cm and 21.5 cm).

batteries recommended). To install batteries (or to replace when "Low
Battery" symbol appears), proceed as follows:
1 .
Slide the battery cover as shown to remove from the device.

Insert batteries into designated areas ensuring a correct match with
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.

Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:
☞
Relax for about 5 minutes before measurement.
☞
Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to
measurement.
☞
Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare wrist.
☞
Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm
to measure pressure.
☞
Do not talk during measurement.
☞
Do not cross legs. Keep your feet flat on floor during
measurement.
Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:
1 .
Sit comfortably in a chair near a flat surface.
2 .
With palm facing upward, attach monitor to the
inside of your left wrist and fasten securely. The top
edge of the cuff should align with the crease of your
wrist.
3 .
Position your wrist so it is level with your
heart, using an arm rest if needed. Positioning
of the wrist at heart level is critical for accurate
measurement.
4 .
Press the START button. Your average blood
pressure reading will appear with the number
of measurements stored in memory (i.e. A25 = total of 25
measurements stored in memory). As the cuff pressurizes,
measurement will begin and the Cuff Inflation Meter will
show on the display screen. It is normal for the cuff to feel
very tight.
NoTE: To stop inflation at any time, press START
5 .
Remain still and refrain from talking or moving during reading.
