About Blood Pressure 1. What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly fluctuating during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is beating.

About Blood Pressure A. WHO blood pressure classifications: Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure without regard to age, have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart. However this chart is not exact for classification of blood pressure and it's intended to be used as a guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements.

Symbol Definitions SYMBOLS Definitions This symbol appears when the battery power is excessively low or the polarity reverses. We suggest you replace all batteries with new ones, Low Battery Symbol and make sure the +/- polarities are properly positioned. Once pulse is detected, the symbol flashes with each pulse beat.
Installing Batteries When the LOW BATTERY SYMBOL appears on the display, or nothing appears on the display when the power is switched on, please change the batteries. Replace all the batteries with new ones and do not mix new and old batteries.
Applying the Cuff Do not place the pressure cuff over a jacket or sweater sleeve. Wrap the pressure cuff around the bare wrist with the monitor facing you. Wrap the cuff snugly. Do not make it too tight. Fold the remaining part of the cuff back out of the way.
Positioning Guide It is extremely important that the cuff be at the same height as the heart. Having the cuff higher or lower may cause inaccurate results. 1. Sit down comfortably with your feet flat on the floor. 2. Position the blood pressure monitor on your wrist.
Measurement Procedure Switching on the monitor A. Switch on the monitor by pressing START/STOP button. B. All segments will appear on the screen for 3 seconds. Setting date and time A. Press MODE button ("MONTH" starts flashing). Press SET button to set the current MONTH (1, 2, 3,………, 12). B.

Measurement Procedure C. After the initial inflation of the cuff, the pressure will slowly decrease. And when a pulse is detected, the PULSE SYMBOL will start flashing. *Note ! If the cuff does not stop inflating, remove the cuff at once. To stop measurement, you may press START/STOP button.
Memory Function Storing data After each measurement, the systolic and diastolic pressure, heart rate with the time and date will be automatically stored. The monitor features a 3 user memory capability. Each user holds the last 30 measurements, replacing the oldest data with new one. Recalling data A.
