INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this digital blood pressure monitor. With proper care and use,

your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.

To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we recommend that

you first consult with your physician or trained healthcare professional.

The method of measurement that your digital monitor uses is called the oscillometric

method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in your arm and

converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require a

stethoscope, making the monitor easy to use.

Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements

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.

CAUTION:

You can stop the inflation or deflation process anytime by pressing the (POWER) button.

*Instantly compares your readings to standards set by the World Health Organization

(WHO), ranging from optimal health to severe hypertension

GENERAL BLOOD PRESSURE INFORMATION

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure that is exerted by blood flowing against the walls of the blood

vessels throughout your body.

Your heart, which is the center of the circulatory system, provides the force for the blood to

flow or circulate. When your heart contracts or “beats,” the blood is forced through the blood

vessels increasing the pressure. This is the highest pressure in the cycle or what is referred to

as SYSTOLIC blood pressure. In-between beats your heart relaxes and your blood pressure

decreases. This is referred to as DIASTOLIC blood pressure.

This complete series of events, which occurs in a single heartbeat, is known as the CARDIAC

CYCLE.

Your digital blood pressure monitor will automatically read your blood pressure and display

both systolic and diastolic readings on the screen. Your systolic will be positioned as the upper

number and the diastolic reading will be the lower number.

(systolic)

(diastolic)

120 80

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters (mm) of mercury (Hg) and is generally recorded with

the systolic pressure (120) listed first and the diastolic pressure (80) listed second. The numbers

are typically separated by a slash mark (/) as shown.

Both pressure readings, the SYSTOLIC and DIASTOLIC, are necessary for a physician to

evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.

Please contact your physician for specific information regarding your own blood pressure.

What Influences Blood Pressure?

Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety, muscular

development, certain medications or even the time of day can influence blood pressure.

Influences such as sleep or relaxation decrease blood pressure, while anxiety or exercise

increase blood pressure.

GENERAL BLOOD PRESSURE INFORMATION (continued)

Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?

A visit to a physician’s office can be stressful for the patient and anxiety is a known factor in

raising blood pressure. This temporary occurrence of elevated blood pressure at the physician’s

office is commonly referred to as “white coat syndrome.”

Whether or not you experience “white coat syndrome,” home blood pressure monitoring provides

you with the opportunity to supplement measurements taken at your physician’s office. These

home readings, when taken over a period of time, can show an accurate indication of change.

Furthermore, your records can assist your physician in evaluating your health and in making

important decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of your condition. Because of this, it is

important to take consistent daily measurements of your blood pressure.

The variations in your individual readings should only be interpreted by your physician or a trained

healthcare professional.

WHO Blood Pressure Classifications

Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure have been established by the World

Health Organization (WHO) as shown on the following chart:

This chart is only a general guideline. Contact your physician or trained healthcare

professional to determine your NORMAL blood pressure.

GENERAL BLOOD PRESSURE INFORMATION (continued)

Variations in Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is influenced by many factors and can change from moment to moment.

Normally, blood pressure is lowest during sleeping periods and rises during the day. The graph

below represents variations in blood pressure shown over a day with measurements taken every

5 minutes.

The dotted line represents the sleep

period. The rise in blood pressure at

1 p.m. (A in the graph) reflects stressful

occurrence, and at 7 p.m. (B in the

graph), a period of exercise.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USE

1. Blood pressure readings should be interpreted by a physician or trained healthcare

professional, who is familiar with your medical history.

2. Measure your blood pressure in a quiet place. You should be seated and relaxed.

3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30

minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are exhibiting signs of stress, avoid measuring your

blood pressure until the feeling subsides.

4. Rest 15 minutes prior to measuring your blood pressure.

5. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with the cuff placement.

6. Keep the monitor stable during measurements. Remain still; do not talk during

measurements.

7. Record your daily readings on the chart provided.

8. Take your readings at the same time, each day (or as recommended by your physician).

9. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings. The wait time may vary depending on

individual physiological characteristics.

10. This device is intended for adult use only (12 years and older). This Electronic

Sphygmomanometers should never be used on infants or young children. Consult your

physician or other health care professionals before use on older children. Never use on

infants or individuals that cannot express themselves.

11. The inflation or deflation process can be stopped by pressing the POWER button.

12. People suffering from arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial

fibrillation should only use this unit after consulting with their doctor. In certain cases the

oscillometric measurement can produce incorrect readings.

13. People with irregular or unstable circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease,

arteriosclerosis or other medical conditions, there may be variations in blood pressure values

measured at the wrist versus at the upper arm. Monitoring the trends in your blood pressure

taken at either the arm or the wrist is nevertheless useful and important.

14. People suffering from vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetes, people with cardiac

pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are pregnant should consult their physician

before measuring their blood pressure themselves. Different values may be obtained due to

their condition.

15. Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect

measurement results.

16. To avoid cross contamination, do not share the cuff with an infectious person.

17. Prolonged over-inflation (cuff pressure exceed 300 mmHg or maintained above 15 mmHg

for longer than 3 minutes) of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your arm.

18. The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.

19. DO NOT attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular

access, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inflation can temporarily block

blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.

20. The cuff should NOT be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the case of

double mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.

21. Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used

monitoring equipment on the same limb.

22. A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cuff pressure resulting in

blood flow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient.

23. Check that operation of the unit does not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation of

the patient.

24. The monitor might not meet its performance specifications if stored or used outside the

specified temperature and humidity ranges in specifications.

25. If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate

time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed medication without first

consulting with your physician.

26. Do not use cell phones and other devices, which generate a strong electrical or

electromagnetic fields, near the device, as they may cause incorrect readings and

interference or become an interference source to the device.
