Page 8: How Ua-787 Works
HOW UA-787 WORKS LifeSource blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally ® display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillo- metric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat. -
Page 9: Selecting The Correct Cuff Size
SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. -

Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm. Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure.
- Page 13 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Press the START button. Your average blood pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements stored in memory (i.e. A25 = total of 25 measurements stored in memory). As the cuff pressurizes, measure- ment will begin and the Cuff Inflation Meter will show on the display screen.
- Page 14 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Measurement with the desired systolic pressure: If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg follow these steps: Place the cuff on the left arm, unless your physician tells you otherwise. Press and hold the START button until a number 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure appears.
