MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE

This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect blood pressure. Before every measurement, the unit establishes a "zero pressure" equivalent to the air pressure. Then it starts inflating the arm cuff, meanwhile, the unit detects pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine the systolic and diastolic pressure, and also pulse rate. The device also compares the longest and the shortest time intervals of detected pulse waves to mean time interval then calculates standard deviation. The device will display a warning signal with the reading to indicate the detection of irregular heartbeat when the difference of the time intervals is over 25%.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - SETTING DATE, TIME, UNIT

It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure monitor, so that a time stamp can be assigned to each record that is stored in the memory. (The setting range of the year: 2014—2054 time format: (12H/24H)

1. When the monitor is off, hold pressing "S" button for 3 seconds to enter the mode for year setting. Or when the monitor is off, press "S" button shortly, it will display the time. Then hold pressing "S" button to enter the mode for year setting.
   
   
2. Press the "M" button to change the [YEAR]. Each press will increase the numeral by one in a cycling manner.
   
   
3. When you get the right year, press "S" button to set down and turn to next step.
   
   
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 to set the [MONTH] and [DAY].
   
   
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the [TIME FORMAT] between 12 hour time and 24 hour time.
   
   
6. Repeat step 2 and 3 to set the [HOUR] and [MINUTE].
   
   
7. Repeat step 2 and 3 to set the [MEASUREMENT UNIT].
   
   
8. After the unit is set, the LCD will display "done" first, then display all the settings you have done and then it will turn off.
   

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - APPLYING THE CUFF

1. Attach the cuff tubing to the left side input for proper use.
2. Apply the cuff on your upper arm. Make sure the position of the tube is off-center; toward the inner side of arm in line with the little finger.
   
3. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert one finger between the cuff and your arm.
   
4. Sit comfortably with your test arm resting on a flat surface.
5. Patients with Hypertension: The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of the heart; Before starting measurement, please sit comfortably with legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, back and arm supported. Follow these steps for accurate results:
   • Resting For 5 minutes before.
   • Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood circulation to recover.
   • For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, position of upper arm, or as directed by a physician.
     

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - MEASURING

1. Before you start the measurement, switch the User button to select the user between User A and User B. Switch to right to select User A, switch to left to select User B. When the monitor is off, press the "START/STOP button to turn on the monitor, and it will finish the whole measurement. And save the measurement data for the desired user. (See image)

   Adjust the zero.
   
   
   Inflating and measuring.
   
   
   Display and save the results.
   
   
2. Press the "START/STOP" to power off, otherwise it will turn off within 1 minute.
   
   Tips: Combined maximum 250 records for User A and User B.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - DATA MANAGEMENT

Recall the Records

1. When the monitor is off, press the "M" button to show the average value of the latest three records for the selected user. (Take User 1 for example. See below.)
   
   Note: It will display the latest record first when the records are less than three groups.
   
2. Press "M" button or "S" button to get the record you want. Press and hold "M" button to look over ten groups of the historical records quickly.
   
   The date and time of the record will be shown alternately.
   
   
   
3. If you want to look over another user's data, switch the User button to select the desired user. Then you can look over its historical records.

The most recent record (1) is shown first. Each new measurement is assigned to the first (1) record. All other records are pushed back one digit (e.g., 2 becomes 3, and so on), and the last record (250) is dropped from the list.

Delete the Records
If you did not get the correct measurement, you can delete each user A & B results by following the steps below.

1. Hold pressing the "S" button for 3 seconds when the monitor is in the memory recall mode, the flash display "dEL ALL" will show.
   
   
2. Press the "S" button to confirm deleting and the LCD will display "dEL dOnE", and then turn off.
   
   
3. If you don't want to delete the records, press "START/STOP" button to escape.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
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.

What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The chart below is the standard blood pressure classification published by American Heart Association (AHA).

AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP

Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your measuring result falls out of the range. Kindly note that only a physician could tell whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.

Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detector. 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 measuring result.

The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heart-beat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?

1. Individual blood pressure can change on a daily basis. It is also affected by the way you apply the cuff and the measurement position. Please take measu-rements using the same method to ensure accuracy.
2. The variations in the pressure can be greater or smaller, depending on the actual medicine taken.
3. Waiting at least 3 minutes for another measurement.

Why do I have different readings when I take my blood pressure at the doctor's office and my home?
Blood pressure can fluctuate over a period of 24 hours based on: weather, emotions, exercise, stress, etc.

When you take your blood pressure at home, make sure to pay close attention to the following:

• If the cuff is secured properly.
• If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
• If the cuff is secured on the upper arm.
• If you feel anxious.

You had better take 2-3 deep breaths. Advice: Wait at least 4-5 minutes until you calm down.

Can you take measurement from both arms?
You may choose to measure both arms and then average the two readings to get your blood pressure result. The norm is to measure the left arm closest to your heart. For accuracy use the same method each time.
