Measurements
Measurement with the Desired Systolic Pressure
Model UA-767FAM is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the
cuff to a systolic pressure level automatically.
Use this method when re-inflation occurs repeatedly or when the results are not
displayed even if the pressure decreases to 20 mmHg or less.
1. Place the cuff on the arm at heart level
(preferably the left arm).
2. Press and hold the
START
button until a
number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than
your expected systolic pressure appears.
3. When the desired number is reached,
release the
START
button to start
measurement. Continue to measure your
blood pressure as described on the
previous page.
Notes for Accurate Measurement
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place your arm on a table with your
palm facing upward and the cuff at the same level as your heart.
Relax for about five to ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you
are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will
reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure
reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 6 for the
description of symbols.
This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult
with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not
use this device unattended.
