Position the artery mark over the main artery (on the inside of your
arm).
Tip:
To locate the main (brachial) artery, press 2 fingers
approximately 1” (2-3cm) above the bend of your elbow on the
inside of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the
strongest. Fit the cuff snugly, leaving enough space for 1” (2 - 3 cm)
between the inner elbow and the lower edge of the cuff. If the cuff is
positioned correctly, the hook-and-loop fabric will be on the outside
of the cuff and the metal ring will not touch your skin. The bottom
edge of the cuff should be located within the Proper Fit Range.
5. Pull the end of the cuff so it tightens evenly around your arm.
6. Make sure the cuff is snug enough to stay in place during
measurement, but not too tight. You should be able to insert one
finger between the cuff and your arm.
7. Press the hook-and-loop fabric strip to secure.
8. Plug the arm cuff tube into the monitor port.
TIPS FOR ACCURATE MEASUREMENT
1. Avoid taking blood pressure:
• within one (1) hour of eating or drinking (especially caffeinated beverages)
• immediately after smoking
• within 20 minutes of bathing
• while talking or moving your hands/fingers
• in a cold environment
• when you feel the urge to urinate
2. Take the measurement in a silent room.
3. Sit comfortably in an upright chair with back supported, feet flat on the floor and legs
uncrossed.
4. Rest your testing arm on a flat surface with the palm turned upward and the cuff level
with the right atrium of the heart.
5. Rest and relax for 5 minutes before measuring. Take 5 - 6 deep breaths.
6. Stay quiet and still during measuring.
7. Wait at least three minutes between measurements.
8. For meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example, take
daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same arm, or as directed
by a physician.
IMPORTANT
• Make sure there are no kinks in the air tube.
• Do not twist the cuff in any way.
MEMORY FUNCTION
1. The monitor features memory storage with date and time stamps for two (2) users, saving
120 records per user (240 total).
2. After each measurement, the systolic and diastolic pressure, heart rate and BP Category
Indicator, Irregular Heartbeat Detector and Excessive body motion detector (if any) with the
date and time will be automatically stored. Each new reading will replace the oldest.
TAKING THE MEASUREMENT
1. With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press
START / STOP
button to begin.
• All display symbols will appear on the screen for 1.5 seconds,
followed by “00” to indicate “Ready to Measure.”
2. The cuff will automatically inflate.
• During inflation, the monitor detects your blood pressure and
pulse rate.
• The Heartbeat Symbol flashes at every heartbeat.
3. Do not move or talk until the entire measurement process is
completed.
4. The cuff automatically deflates when your blood pressure and heart rate measurement
is complete.
• Your systolic rate, diastolic rate, heart rate, corresponding BP Category Indicator,
Irregular Heartbeat Detector and Excessive body motion detector (if any) are
displayed with date and time for one (1) minute and results saved to memory
automatically.
• If Voice Broadcast is ON (default setting), the device will announce your test results
out loud.
• The device automatically shuts off after one minute of no use.
NOTE:
If the cuff does not stop inflating, remove the cuff at once. To stop measurement at
any time, press
START / STOP
. The cuff will deflate immediately after the button is pressed.
• If the cuff inflates without stopping, unwrap the cuff immediately.
• Do not press the
START / STOP
button if the cuff is not wrapped around your upper arm.
• Do not wrap the cuff around any body part other than your arm.
• Do not use this device on a wounded or injured arm. Do not use this device after recent
surgery on the wrist or arm (doing so may increase the risk of infection at the surgical site).
Wait until after the wound has healed to use this device.
• If you have an infectious skin condition or disease or the device is used by others with
infectious skin condition or disease, dispose of the device without reuse.
• Before use, always inspect the device. If you notice blood or other soil on cuff, do not reuse.
