Introduction Congratulations on your purchase. The LifeLine Kärdio Blood Pressure Monitor ® AI-K118A is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device for use on the upper arm. This monitor enables fast and reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse rate. This device offers clinically tested measurement protocols and very high accuracy.
Page 4: Important Information About Self-Measurement
WARNING Important Information about Self-Measurement • Replacement of original parts with generic components may result in measurement errors. Blood pressure cuffs should only be replaced by compatible LifeLine cuffs. • During measurements, ensure the cuff’s tubing is not kinked to avoid a possible patient injury or measurement inaccuracy. • Very frequent measurements can cause patient injury due to continued blood flow restriction. • Do not apply and inflate the blood pressure cuff: • over a wound as this may exacerbate the injury. • on any limb where intravascular therapy or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt is present, as the temporary interference with blood flow and may result in patient injury.
Page 5: Blood Pressure Measurement
Blood Pressure Measurement How does Blood Pressure Arise? Blood pressure is determined in a part of the brain, referred to as the circulatory centre which adapts blood pressure to the respective situation via feedback from the nervous system. Blood pressure is subsequently adjusted by the circulatory centre by altering the heart rate (Pulse), its strength and the diameter of circulatory blood vessels by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls.

Page 12: Measuring Procedure
Measuring Procedure 1. Measuring in Standard Mode (1 Measurement Mode) Note: Standard mode measurement provides standard arrhythmia detection but not Atrial Fibrillation detection technology. In standard mode, only 1 measurement is taken in succession. Start the measurement as follows after the cuff has been positioned on the arm: a) Press the button, and the pump begins to inflate the cuff.
Page 13 Examples of Measurement Readings Example 1: Systolic 120, Diastolic 80, Pulse 70. Irregular heartbeat detected with the IHB icon appearing. The cuff is correctly fitted. ExAMPLE 1 Example 2: Systolic 120, Diastolic 80, Pulse 70. Irregular heartbeat detected with the IHB icon appearing, The cuff is fitted too loosely. ExAMPLE 2 Example 3: Systolic 120, Diastolic 80, Pulse 70. Movement detected. The cuff is correctly fitted. Measurement results are displayed until the device is turned off.
