Important Information Before Using The Unit - Healthy Living Deluxe Thinline BT-9000HL Owner's Manual

Important information before
using the unit
•
Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a physician
or trained health professional who is familiar with one's medical
history. By using the unit regularly and recording the results for the
physician to interpret, one can keep the physician informed of the
continuing trends in one's blood pressure.
• Sit quietly for about 10 minutes. This will allow your body to return
to its normal resting state.
Wrap the cuff snug around your upper arm and lay your arm on a
•
flat surface at the same level as your heart. Your feet should be flat
on the floor.
•
Do not move the device during the taking of a measurement; this
may cause an inaccurate measurement.
• Perform the measurement in a quiet environment, in a relaxed posi-
tion at room temperature. For consistency, we recommend using
the same arm (left arm if possible) and testing around the same
time each day.

If taking multiple measurements, please allow 10 minutes
•
between measurements. This will allow your blood ves-
sels to return to their normal state.
If you have consumed beverages containing caffeine or
•
have smoked, please allow 30 - 45 minutes before taking
your measurement.
Do not place the cuff over a jacket
•
or sweater sleeve; it must be
wrapped around your exposed
upper arm.
Keep in mind that blood pressure
•
naturally varies from time to time
throughout the day and is affected
by many different factors, such as
smoking, alcohol consumption,
medication, and physical activity.
• Blood pressure measurements taken with this unit are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using
the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method within the limits
prescribed by the American National Standard for
Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.

Make sure the cuff plug is attached to the monitor as
