GENERAL
This instruction manual is intended to assist the user for safe and efficient
operation of the automatic digital blood pressure monitor (hereinafter: device)
model ECO-BP01. The device must be used in accordance with the procedures
described in the manual. It is important to read and understand the entire manual,
especially the section <Tips on taking blood pressure measurement>.
This device is intended for the non-invasive measurement of systolic and diastolic
arterial blood pressure and pulse rate in adults（age 15 and above）. Consult the
physician if measurement is taken in children or persons with arrhythmia as errors
may occur.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
This device adopts the oscillometric technology with Fuzzy Algorithm measuring
the arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The cuff is wrapped around the arm and
automatically inflated by the air pump. The sensor of the device catches weak
fluctuation of the pressure in the cuff produced by extension and contraction of the
artery of the arm in response to each heartbeat. The amplitude of the pressure
waves is measured, converted in millimeters of the mercury column, and is
displayed by digital value.
Annotation: This device can not provide reasonable accuracy if used or stored in
the temperature or humidity beyond the range stated in the section
<SPECIFICATIONS> of this manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE DEVICE OUTDOORS
NEW TECHNOLOGIES USED
Fuzzy Algorithm is the processing algorithm taking into account of the speciality of
individual heartbeats, which provides higher accuracy of measurement.
Software version: V1.1
TIPS ON TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
1.It is necessary to know that arterial blood pressure is subjected to sharp
fluctuations. The level of the arterial blood pressure depends on many factors.
Generally arterial blood pressure is lower in summer and higher in winter. Arterial
blood pressure changes with atmosphere pressure and is affected considerably by
many factors, e.g. physical loads, emotional excitability, stress, meals, etc.
Medicines, drinking, smoking affects greatly the level of individual blood pressure.
When blood pressure is measured in hospital, the value is always higher than that
at home. The reason is the tensity and such case is especially serious in given
8
group patients, which is known as 'White coat effect' medically. Blood pressure will
9
raise in low temperature, so it is better to take blood pressure measurement in
room temperature (approximately 20℃). If this device was stored in low tempera-
ture, it is necessary to leave it in room temperature for at least 1 hour, otherwise
the measurement can be inaccurate. Blood pressure does vary with age and
10
individual, and it is recommended to write down the readings in blood pressure
record daily, then you can check with your doctor to find out what is "normal blood
pressure" for you.
The illustration is from British Hypertension Society.
2.Take measurement under doctor's instruction for patients with
cardio-vascular diseases.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed
by your doctor!
3.Accurate measurement of blood pressure may be difficult in arrhythmia,
premature beat, atrial fibrillation atreriosclerosis hypoperfusion diabetes pregnan-
cy nephropathy , weak pulse, or in patients with obvious fluctuation of heart
contraction rhythm. Please consult a qualified physician to interpret your blood
pressure readings.
4.It is necessary to keep quiet during measurement to get accurate
readings. Measurement should be conducted in quiet environment at
room temperature. Don't eat or smoke before a measurement.
This device is supplied with the standard cuff and adult large cuff which
are fit for the arm size 22-32 cm and 32-42cm. Care should be taken to
ensure that the cuff size is appropriate for the person whose blood
pressure is being taken. Children and adults with cuff size fall outside the
range of the standard cuff size and large adult cuff size should select special
size cuffs. Please contact the dealer to get these special size cuffs.
ATTENTION: Do not use cuffs other than the original cuff contained in
this kit!
5.Repeated measurements with interval at 3 minutes are recommend-
ed, so you can calculate the average to get more accurate measure-
ment. Atherosclerosis patients are required longer interval (10-15
minutes) as elasticity of patients' vessels decreased significantly in
these diseases. 10-15 minutes interval is also applicable for patients
suffering from diabetes for a long time.

1.Sit beside the table and let the table support your
arm as you take the measurement. Make sure that
the cuff on the upper arm no cross, and is at
approximately the same level as the heart,make
sure that your feet lie on the ground and no cross.
2.You may lie on your back and take measurement.
Look at the ceiling, keep calm, and don't move your
neck or body during the measurement. Make sure
that the cuff on the upper arm is at approximately
the same level as the heart.
1.Insert the edge of the cuff approximately 5
centimeters into the D-ring as shown in figure.
2.Put the cuff on the left upper arm with the tube
pointing to the direction of palm. If measurement on
your left arm is difficult, you can use right arm for
measurement. In this case, it is necessary to know
that the readings may differ about 5-10 mmHg
between left arm and right arm.
3.Wrap cuff around your upper arm with the lower
edge of the cuff approximately 2-3 centimeters above
the elbow. The mark <ARTERY> must be over the
artery of the arm.
4.Press the cuff to make sure that it is attached secure-
ly. The cuff should not be too tight or too loose. Two
fingers should be easily put in between cuff and upper
arm.
5.The mark <INDEX> on the cuff must point to area
<NORMAL> or <LARGE CUFF>. This means the cuff size
is correct. If mark <INDEX> points to the area beyond area
<NORMAL> or <LARGE CUFF>, please consult your
dealer whether you need another size cuff.
6.Sometimes it is difficult to make the cuff regular
owning to the shape of the user's upper arm, the
cone-shape assembly of cuff is also acceptable.
7.If your clothes restrict blood circulation of your
upper arm, or you roll your sleeve up so as to result in
such restriction. Please take off your clothes to get
accurate measurement if necessary.
1.Insert the tube plug into the air connector. Before the measurement, take
3~5 times deep breath and relax yourself. Don't talk or move your arm;
2.Press button '
in 2 seconds as Fig.1.
Then two short beep will sound and '0' will appear on the
screen. Pump begins to inflate with display showing the
reading of pressure. Generally the pressure will reach
190mmHg as Fig.2;
3.The pump stop inflating and pressure begins to decrease
gradually, during which the user's blood pressure and pulse
will be calculated as Fig.3;
4.There will be a long beep following the accomplishment of
measurement. The air in the cuff will deflate quickly and the
blood pressure reading, pulse reading will show in the
display as Fig.4;
5.Press the button '
for at least 3 minutes for another measurement. If the power
supply is not switched off and the device keeps unused for
3 minutes, the device will be switched off automatically.
AUTOMATIC INFLATION
