BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:

1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.
5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
8. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

APPLYING THE ARM CUFF

Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the unit.

This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE LEFT ARM

1. Make sure the air plug is securely inserted in the main unit.
2. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
3. Apply the cuff to your left upper arm so the arrow is centered on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
   The air tube runs down the inside of your arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2 " above your elbow.
4. Wrap the cuff firmly in place around your arm using the cloth fastening.

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM

When taking a measurement using the right arm, use this instruction for Step 3.

Apply the cuff to your right upper arm so the arrow and the air tube runs along the inside of your arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2 " above your elbow.

NOTE: Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube. This will restrict the flow of air to the cuff.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

The monitor is designed to store the blood pressure and the pulse rate in the memory for two people (USER A or USER B) every time a measurement is completed.

1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table so the cuff is level with your heart. Keep still and do not talk during measurement.
   
2. Select your USER ID (A or B).
   
3. Press the ON/OFF button. All symbols appear on the display.
   The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level.
   Remain still and do not move your arm until the entire measurement process is completed.
   
   NOTE: To stop the inflation or measurement, push the ON/OFF button. The monitor will stop inflating, start deflating, and will turn off.
4. Inflation stops automatically and the measurement is started.
   As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers appear on the display and the Heartbeat Symbol () flashes.
   
5. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.
   

The 1999 WHO/ISH guidelines for the management of hypertension are as follows:

Category / Blood pressure	Systolic blood pressure	Diastolic blood pressure
Hypertension	above 139 mmHg	above 89 mmHg
High-Normal	130 - 139 mmHg	85 - 89 mmHg
Normal	129 mmHg or less	84 mmHg or less

This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity. A lower home blood pressure goal may be recommended for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure.

6. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor off.
   

NOTE: The monitor will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.

Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.

DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this blood pressure monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. Only a physician is qualified to diagnose and treat High Blood Pressure.

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the cuff is applied.
If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure, after the cuff starts to inflate.

NOTES:

• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.

When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.

USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION

The monitor automatically stores up to 100 sets of measurement values (blood pressure and pulse rate) for each user (A or B). When 100 sets of measurement values are stored, the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent values.

AVERAGING FUNCTION

The monitor calculates the average reading based on the three most recent sets of measurement values taken within 10 minutes of the most recent reading.

NOTES:

• If two sets of measurement values are stored in the memory for the 10 minutes period, the average is based on the two sets of measurement values. If one set of measurement values is stored, this is displayed as the average.
• When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time, "-:--" is displayed instead of the date and time.
• The average reading will not be calculated without setting the date and time.
