4. INTENDED USE
The digital semi-automatic blood pressure monitor is for use by medical professionals or at home
and is a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system intended to measure the diastolic and
systolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive technique in
which an infl atable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. The cuff circumference is limited to 22
cm – 48 cm.
5. CONTRAINDICATION
It is inappropriate for people with serious arrhythmia to use the digital semi-automatic blood
pressure monitor.
6. PRECAUTIONS
1. Read all of the information in the operation guide and any other literature in the box before
operating the unit.
2. Stay still, calm and rest for 5 minutes before blood pressure measurement.
3. The cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart.
4. During measurement, neither speak nor move your body and arm.
5. Measuring on left arm for each measurement.
6. Please always relax a minimum moment of 1 to 1.5 minutes between measurements to allow
the blood circulation in your arm to recover. Prolonged over-infl ation (cuff pressure exceed
300 mmHg or maintained above 15 mmHg for longer than 3 minutes) of the bladder may cause
ecchymoma of your arm.
7. Consult your physician if you have any doubt about below cases:
1) The application of the cuff over a wound or infl ammation diseases;
2) The application of the cuff on any limb where intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-
venous (A-V) shunt, is present;

3) The application of the cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy;
4) Simultaneously used with other monitoring medical equipments on the same limb;
5) Need to check the blood circulation of the user.
8. This digital semi-automatic blood pressure monitor is designed for adults and should never be
used on infants or young children. Consult your physician or other health care professionals
before use on older children.
9. Do not use this unit in a moving vehicle. This may result in erroneous measurement.
10. Blood pressure measurements determined by this monitor are equivalent to those obtained by
a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed
by the American National Standard Institute, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers.
11. Information regarding potential electromagnetic or other interference between the blood
pressure monitor and other devices together with advice regarding avoidance of such
interference please see part ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION.
12. Please do not use the cuff other than supplied by the manufacturer, otherwise it may bring
biocompatible hazard and might result in measurement error.
13. The monitor might not meet its performance specifi cations or cause safety hazard if stored or
used outside the specifi ed temperature and humidity ranges in specifi cations.
14. Please do not share the cuff with other infective person to avoid cross-infection.
15. Please note that changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
16. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
7. SETUP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
7.1. Battery loading
a. Open battery cover at the back of the monitor.
b. Load two "AAA" size batteries. Please pay attention to polarity.
c. Close the battery cover.
d. Once you install the batteries or turn off the monitor, the LCD does not display anything. Now
the monitor is in Off Mode.
If the LCD display battery symbol
If the batteries are run out, battery symbol
always display battery symbol and
Rechargeable batteries are not suitable for this monitor.
Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for a month or more to avoid relevant
damage of battery leakage.
Avoid the battery fl uid to get in your eyes. If it should get in your eyes, immediately rinse
with plenty of clean water and contact a physician.
The monitor, the batteries and the cuff, must be disposed of according to local regulations at
the end of their usage.
7.2. Connecting the cuff to the monitor
Insert the Air Tube Plug fi rmly into the Air Tube Socket on the side of the
Monitor. Make certain that the Plug is completely inserted in order to
prevent air leakage during use.
Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing during measurement, which may
cause infl ation error, or harmful injury due to continuous cuff pressure.
7.3. Applying the cuff
a. Pulling the cuff end through the medal loop (the cuff is packaged like
this already), turn it outward (away from your body) and tighten it
and close the Velcro fastener.
b. Place a cuff around a naked hand 1-2 cm higher than an elbow pole.
c. Being in a sitting position, put a hand palm up before yourself on a
plain surface, for example, on a table. Arrange a cuff on a hand so
that its bottom edge was apart 1-2 cm above an elbow bend. The
red tag (Artery mark) has to be over an elbow pole.
d. The cuff has to cover densely a hand, otherwise the result of
measurement will be the improper. It is not recommended to dress
a cuff over clothes.
7.4. Carrying out a measurement
Before the measurement:
Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement. All
these factors infl uence the measurement result. Try and fi nd time to relax by sitting in an
armchair in a quiet atmosphere for about ten minutes before the measurement.
Remove any garment that fi ts closely to your upper arm. Measure always on the same arm
(normally left).
Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the same time of day, since the blood-
pressure changes during the course of the day.
Sitting Comfortably Measurement
a. Be seated with your feet fl at on the fl oor, and don't cross your legs.
b. Place palm upside in front of you on a fl at surface such as a desk or
table.
c. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of the
heart.
Lying Down Measurement
d. Lie on your back.
e. Place your left arm straight along your side with your palm upside.
f. The cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart.
Common sources of error:
Movement during measurement.
The arm artery lies considerably lower (higher) than the heart.
The cuff does not fi t you in size.
Loose cuff or a sideways protruding air-pocket.
Note: With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the respective arm, which can lead
to false results. Correctly executed bloodpressure measurements should therefore fi rst be
repeated after a 1 minute pause.
7.5. Taking your blood pressure reading
a. After applying the cuff and your body is in a comfortable position, press the "START" button. A
beep is heard and all display characters are shown for self-test. See picture 5. Please contact
the service center if segment is missing.
b. The LCD will momentarily display the last measurement stored in the memory. See picture 5-1.
