Remove and replace batteries if monitor is not used for more than six months. Alkaline batteries recommended. The UB-328 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 results in a faster measurement providing greater comfort to the user. The UB-328 provides accurate readings on wrists with a circumference between 5.3 and 7.7" (13.5 and 19.5 cm). The unit requires two "AAA" (1.5 volt) batteries to operate (alkaline batteries recommended).

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 wrist. Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left wrist to measure pressure.

After the cuff is fully inflated, it will automatically start to deflate and symbol will appear to indicate that measurement is in progress. Once the pulse is detected, the symbol will flash with each pulse beat. When measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate readings are displayed.

The UB-328 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.

The UB-328 automatically stores up to 30 blood pressure and pulse measurements in its memory. Measurements stored in memory are assigned an index number in the order of the newest to the oldest. The oldest reading displays as "n01". The M symbol in lower left corner of the display screen indicates that you are viewing a previous measurement stored in memory.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
