- Page 7 This monitor measures your blood pressure while the cuff is inflating. The UB-512 provides accurate readings on wrists with a circumference between 5.3" and 8.5" (13.5 cm and 21.5 cm).
- Page 8 The UB-512 has several modes available to fit your blood pressure monitoring needs. Normal Measurement with Readings Stored in Memory Press the START 1 or START 2 button. Your blood pressure is measured and the reading is stored into memory. Each START button can store up to 30 readings in memory.
- Page 9 Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring: Relax for about 5 minutes before measurement. Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to measurement. Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm. Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure.
- Page 10 Press the START 1 or START 2 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, measurement will begin and the Cuff Inflation Meter will show on the display screen.
- Page 11 The UB-512 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The Irregular Heartbeat symbol will appear in the display window in the event an Irregular Heartbeat has occured during measurement. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement.
- Page 12 The UB-512 provides an average blood pressure reading based on the total measurements stored in memory. When taking a measurement, the average blood pressure reading will appear and the number of measurements stored in memory will flash several times before the cuff begins to inflate. The average blood pressure reading will also appear briefly when you recall the measurements stored in memory.
- Page 13 The memory function on the UB-512 blood pressure monitor is designed for two or more people. For each START button, the monitor can store up to 30 readings in memory. To keep track of previous measurements accurately, we recommend that you use the same START button each time you take a blood pressure reading.
- Page 14 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). Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season.
- Page 15 The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender) have been established as a guideline. Please note that other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) need to be taken into consideration and may affect these figures. Consult with your physician for an accurate assessment. Normal Prehypertension Stage 1 Hypertension...
- Page 16 Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings consis- tently rise above normal. It is well known that hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early.
- Page 17 Why are my readings different between home and at a doctor’s office? Your blood pressure readings taken in a doctor’ s office or hospital setting may be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is known as white coat hypertension.
- Page 18 Establishing Baseline Measurements The most important method to get an accurate blood pressure measurement is consistency. To get the most benefit out of your monitor, it is important to establish a “baseline measurement.” This helps build a foundation of measurements that you can use to compare against future readings. To build this baseline measurement, devote two weeks for consistent blood pressure monitoring.
