HOW 767T WORKS LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” — a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. The cuff is first inflated until the artery is fully blocked.
SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF 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 yields a measurement that is higher.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring: Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement. Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm. Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure. Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps: Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface so that the center of your upper arm is at the...

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Before taking your blood pressure, you will need to set the pressure switch to a number that is at least 30 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure. Use the chart below as a guide. For example, if you believe your blood pressure to be 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic), set the switch to 180.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. You will see all the display symbols appear briefly. As the cuff pressurizes, blinking numerals—starting at zero—are displayed. When inflation is complete, the MEASUREMENT IN PROGRESS symbol blinks and beeps with each pulse beat.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure and pulse rate on the chart (see page 16), indicating date and time of measurement. We advise that you record the date and time after each measure- ment because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings but on a pattern over time.
CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY Exhaust velocity is the rate at which the air pressure in the cuff deflates during the course of measurement. It is preset at the factory and generally does not need any further adjustment. NOTE: The exhaust rate of your monitor was preset and tested at the factory to ensure proper measurement.
CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY If the exhaust velocity range is not within 2 to 5 mmHg, make the following adjustment with the unit turned off: With the edge of your fingernail, peel off the thin black plastic disk covering the adjustment screw. If there is no thin plastic disk, proceed to step 2.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What Is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). What Affects Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Assessing High Blood Pressure The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age) have been established by the National Institutes of Health JNCVI. Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg) Optimal <120 <80 Normal <130 <85 High Normal 130 - 139 85 –...
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home? It is now well known that, for many individuals, blood pressure readings taken in a doctor’ s office or hospital setting might be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is commonly called “white coat hypertension.”...

Remove and replace batteries if monitor is not used for more than six months. PRECAUTIONS UA-767T is designed to be used at home, by those who are eighteen (18) years and older, to monitor blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate. This monitor is not designed to measure the blood pressure of people with common arrhythmias, such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation.
