Digital Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor with WHO Indicator and Irregular Heartbeat Detection
NOTE: This monitor is designed for a wrist circumference of 5-1/4" – 8-3/4".
1) Resting period – A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the body prior to taking a
reading. No eating, drinking or smoking while resting.
2) Cuff placement – Remove all jewelry and wrap the cuff snugly around your left
wrist. The cuff's top edge should be approximately 1/4"-1/2" from the
bend in your wrist (see diagram). The display screen and the palm should
be facing the same direction. Make sure the top and bottom edges of the cuff
are tightened evenly around your wrist.
3) Arm placement – Rest your elbow on the table and raise your
hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
A cuff that is below or above heart level will cause an
inaccurate reading.
4) To begin the measurement process – Select the memory bank you
want your reading to be stored in by pressing the User-Select button to alternate between memory bank
1 or 2. Press the POWER button and the cuff will automatically begin to inflate.
5) Storing your readings – Press the MEMORY button to view previously stored readings. Up to 120
measurements (60 per memory bank), including time and date, can be stored. See the
enclosed Guidebook for further details about setting the time and date feature, WHO Indicator,
Irregular Heartbeat Detection and PC Blood Pressure Management Software (optional).
6) Avoid movement – Eating, smoking or talking during the unit's operation will cause errors
in readings.
7) Avoid continuous readings – A 15 minute rest period is needed between readings. This allows
the blood vessels to return to normal.
• Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety, muscular development,
certain medications or even the time of day can influence blood pressure.
• Blood pressure varies from moment to moment; therefore, even readings taken after proper rest
periods can vary. Home blood pressure readings may vary as much as 10-20 points from ones taken
at your doctor's office.
• Variations in your individual readings should only be interpreted by your physician or trained health
care professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician to achieve the maximum benefit from your blood
pressure monitor.
IMPORTANT!! You can stop the inflation or deflation process
of the cuff at any time by pressing the POWER button.
