3. Use the “ARROW” and “SET” buttons like you did in the previous step to confirm MONTH, DAY, TIME FORMAT [24 hours or 12 hours], HOURS, MINUTES, and the MEASUREMENT UNIT. IMPORTANT! Most doctors in the United States use mmHg (millimeters of mercury) as the measurement unit.
FASTEN THE CUFF 1. Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc.) from your wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in one wrist, use the other one. 2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin. 3.

TIPS FOR MEASUREMENT It can cause inaccuracy if the measurement is taken under the following circumstances: •...
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Q: What is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure? A: When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.
Page 17
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE (cont.) Q: Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day? A: Individual blood pressure varies throughout the day. It is also affected by the way you fasten your cuff and your measurement position. Please make sure you measure your blood pressure under the same conditions each time you take a measurement.
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of Irregular Heartbeat Detector (IHB). During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, this equipment will light up the IHB symbol on the screen when displaying the results.

If the cuff pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deflate. Should the cuff not deflate when pressures exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the wrist and press the START/ STOP button to stop inflation. The equipment is not AP/APG equipment and not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air of with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
