Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure; Notes For Accurate Measurement - A&D UA-651BLE Instruction Manual

Measurement with the Desired Systolic Pressure

Model UA-651BLE is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the cuff to
a systolic pressure level automatically.
If re-inflation occurs repeatedly or your systolic blood pressure is
expected to exceed 230 mmHg, use the following method.
1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
2. Press the START button.
3. While the zero blinks, press and hold
the START
about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your
expected systolic pressure appears.
4. When the desired number is reached,
release the
measurement.
measure your blood pressure as
described on the previous page.

Notes for Accurate Measurement

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place your arm on a table with your
palm facing upward and the cuff at the same level as your heart.
Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you
are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will
reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure
reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. See page 6 for the
description of the symbols.
This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult
with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not
use this device unattended.
