General information Product Features ◇ AUTO Mode of Measurement Perform automatic measurement (AUTO measurement). ◇ AUTO3 measurement mode Perform AUTO measurement three times in a row, calculate the average of the measurement results, and then display the reliable blood pressure value according to AUTO measurements. ◇...
Page 4 Operation principles This device is equipped with two types of measurement. AUTO measurement measures the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate automatically using the oscillometric method. With MANUAL measurement, an operator uses a stethoscope to measure blood pressure using auscultation. If the artery is compressed by the pressure of a tourniquet (cuff), the artery causes a pulsation that matches the pulse, which becomes the pulsation of the internal pressure of the cuff.
Page 5 General information Product specifications Model : DM-4000 Operating Principle : Oscillometric method (AUTO measurement) / auscultation (MANUAL measurement) Indicator : 12-digit LCD Pressure Indicating Range : 3 to 300 mmHg (cuff pressure) Measuring Range : 50 to 250 mmHg (systolic)
Page 6: Precaution And Contraindication
Precaution and contraindication • Please carefully check patient’s conditions in advance to the measurement if he / she is under dialysis therapy or on anticoagulants, antiplatelets or steroids. Use of this instrument under such conditions could cause internal bleeding. • Do not use this product along with implantable and wearable medical electrical equipment such as pacemaker, defibrillator, or electrocardiographic monitor.
Page 7 Precaution and contraindication • The performance of this product may be affected by extremes of temperature, humidity and altitude. • Do not press the display or place the monitor with display face down. • Do not take out batteries or unplug the AC adaptor when the monitor is turned on. Make sure to switch off the monitor before removing batteries or AC adaptor.

Page 10: Taking Blood Pressure -Auto Measurement
Taking blood pressure -AUTO measurement- To allow the patient to relax, have a five-minute rest before starting measurement. Furthermore, make sure the patient does not talk or move during measurement. Ensure that the cuff is kept at the height of patient’s heart during measurement. To stop measurement, press the START/STOP BUTTON.

Pulse mark Systolic When measurement ends, air is rapidly exhausted, and then the measurement result is displayed. The measurement result is saved to memory automatically. For information about the memory function, see page Error results are not saved.
Page 13: Auto3 Measurement
Taking blood pressure -AUTO3 measurement- This device is equipped with an average mode function. This function performs blood pressure measurement three times in a row, calculates the average of these measurement results, and then displays the reliable blood pressure value according to AUTO measurements. To allow the patient to relax, have a five-minute rest before starting measurement.
Page 14 If the preset pressure value was insufficient for the measurement, inflation is carried out again automatically. For information about re-inflation, see page 3. ARM CIRCUMFERENCE CUFF SIZE 5.

Page 16: Manual (Auscultation) Measurement
Taking blood pressure -MANUAL (auscultation) measurement- In MANUAL measurement mode, this device inflates the cuff automatically, and then blood pressure is measured using auscultation. A stethoscope is not included in the product. Please prepare your own stethoscope. To allow the patient to relax, have a five-minute rest before starting measurement. Furthermore, make sure the patient does not talk or move during measurement.

Page 20: Memory Function
Memory function Measurement results measured using AUTO measurement and AUTO3 measurement are saved to memory automatically after measurement. Measurement results recorded using MANUAL measurement are not saved. The memory can store up to 30 measurement results. If the number of saved measurement results reaches 30, the oldest measurement result is deleted, and the latest measurement result is saved after the next measurement.
Page 21 Memory function 4. Use the UP or DOWN BUTTON to change the display When the UP BUTTON is pressed, the display changes from the latest measurement result to an old measurement result. When the down button is pressed, the display changes from the oldest measurement result to a new measurement result.

Page 28: Tips On Taking Blood Pressure
Tips on taking blood pressure Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart in pumping the blood through the arteries and the resistance by the veins to this flow. Blood pressure varies all the time, influenced by mental and physical factors and is never constant.
Page 29 Tips on taking blood pressure Blood pressure should be taken after approximately five minutes of rest, under relaxed conditions and in a quiet environment. Exercise, eating, drinking alcohol, smoking and other activities that effect blood pressure should be avoided prior to measurement. Cuff measurement position should be at the height of the heart to obtain correct measurement results.
