How Should I Record My Blood Pressure; Components Of Your Blood Pressure Monitor - ADC 6014 Instruction Manual

5.7. Memory – recall of the measurements
This blood pressure monitor automatically stores each of the last 30 measurement values separately for 2
users. By pressing the MEMORY button, the last measurement as well as the previous 29 measurements
(MR29, MR28, ...MR1) can be displayed one after the other. Data obtained in average
mode is indicated by an "mam" symbol. If the memory is full, the next measurement
will be added to memory and the oldest reading (MR 1) will be deleted.

5.8. Clearing the Memory – cancellation of all measurements
Attention! Before you delete all readings stored in the memory, make sure you won't need
to refer to the readings at a later date. Keeping a written record is prudent and may provide
additional information for your next physician visit. A logbook is included to record a history
of your measurements.
In order to delete all stored readings, press the MEMORY button for at least 7 seconds. The
display will show the symbol "CL" and 3 short beeps will sound to indicate deletion of stored
readings. (Unit must be turned on.)
6. PC LINK SOFTWARE - OPTIONAL ACCESSORY SOLD SEPARATELY
This unit can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC)
running the PC Link Blood Pressure Analyzer software. Your PC will
allow a capacity of monitoring 80 patients, each with 1000 data
(NOTE: Overuse will lower system efficiency). The memory data can be
transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor via the included USB
cable with your PC. Note: Software does not work with Mac computers.
6.1. Getting Started
Tracking your blood pressure is important for you and your doctor. This Blood Pressure Analyzer Software is
easy to load and easy to use. Connect your blood pressure monitor to your PC and download your data. Print
graphs, charts, and tables of your readings. Your blood pressure monitor can be connected to a PC using
the Blood Pressure Analyzer (BPA) Software and the enclosed USB cable.
connection. Do not force the cable into the blood pressure monitor or your computer.

The cuff is wrapped around the limb and inflated to constrict blood flow to the artery. As pressure is
released from the cuff through the deflation valve, blood flow returns to the artery producing pulse beats
known as Korotkoff sounds, which are detected with the stethoscope. Systolic pressure is recorded at
the onset of these sounds. Diastolic pressure is generally recorded when the sounds disappear (when
blood flow to the artery returns to normal).

2.9 How should I record my blood pressure?

Record your measurements by setting up a simple chart in a spiral bound notebook as shown below,
or use the enclosed record book.

If you like you can add a column for comments about your condition at the time of measurement, or a
listing of any factors that may have influenced your readings (such as "had a cold", or "just returned
from vacation").

For best results, and with time permitting, 3 successive measurements may be taken daily. Make sure
to allow at least 5 minute intervals between measurements. Discard any reading that appears suspect
and record the average of the remaining readings. If this method is used, be sure to note that the readings
are averaged.
