- Page 7 LifeSource blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally ® display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillo- metric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse.
- Page 8 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 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 arm. Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure.
- Page 10 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) and a flashing that monitor is ready for measurement. When the symbol is displayed, begin cuff inflation by squeezing the inflator bulb repeatedly.
- Page 11 When the correct pressurization has been reached, the automatic exhaust mechanism will gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff. Sit quietly during measurement. The beat. After you see the measurement results displayed on the screen, press the exhaust valve to release the excess air from the cuff. If you move your arm before pressing the exhaust valve, the result on the screen will be deleted.
- Page 12 The UA-705 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The Irregular Heartbeat symbol will appear in the display window in the event an Irregular Heartbeat has occurred during measurement. 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 The UA-705 automatically stores up to 30 blood pressure and pulse measure- ments in its memory. Measurements stored in memory are assigned an index number in the order of the newest to the oldest. The oldest reading displays as "n01".
- Page 15 Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season.
- Page 16 The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender) have been established as a guideline. Please note that other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) need to be taken into con- sideration and may affect these figures. Consult with your physician for an accurate assessment.
- Page 17 Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings consistently rise above normal. It is well known that hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early.
- Page 18 Why are my readings different between home and at a doctor’s office? Your blood pressure readings taken in a doctor’ s office or hospital setting may be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is known as white coat hypertension. When I bring my monitor to a doctor’s office, why do I get a different measurement from my monitor to that taken by a doctor or nurse? The healthcare professional may be using a different sized cuff.
- Page 19 The most important method to get an accurate blood pressure measurement is consistency. To get the most benefit out of your monitor, it is important to establish a “baseline measurement.” This helps build a foundation of meas- urements that you can use to compare against future readings. To build this baseline measurement, devote two weeks for consistent blood pressure moni- toring.
