g) Remain seated quietly for at least 5 minutes before you begin the
measurement.
h) For those who cannot put the cuff on the left arm, put it on the right arm as
shown.
i) Consecutive measurements will cause blood accumulation in the lower arm
which will affect the measuring results. To improve reading accuracy, raise
the arm being measured, squeeze and relax your hand several times, then
take another measurement. Another option is to take the cuff off and wait at
least 5 minutes before repeating measurement.
j) If this device was stored in low temperature, it is necessary to leave it in
room temperature for at least 1 hour, otherwise the measurement can be inaccurate.
Comment:
Continue to use the same arm for comparisons. It is not unusual for there to be a difference in blood pressure
between arms.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (relax for several minutes before
taking a measurement).
3.4 Measuring Your Blood Pressure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
1. Press the
START/STOP
button until all the symbols appear on the screen, after “ ” will
flash for 2 seconds. The pump then begins to inflate the cuff. The increasing pressure in
the cuff is shown on the display.
2. After the suitable pressure has been reached, the pump stops and the cuff gradually
deflates. The cuff pressure will then be displayed. In case the initial inflation is not
sufficient, the device automatically re-inflates to a higher pressure.
3. When the device detects a heartbeat, the heart symbol “ ” on the display starts to flash
for every heartbeat.
4. When the measurement has been completed, the systolic, diastolic and pulse rate will
appear on the display.
5. The measurement readings remain on the display until you switch off the device. If no
button is pressed, the device switches off itself in 3 minutes.
NOTE:
The symbol “ ” will be displayed along with the reading if irregular heartbeat has
been detected during the measurement. If the “ ” symbol appears frequently (e.g. several
times a week), it may be an indication of a more serious heart problem, and you should consult your doctor.
