Manual
Model:
AK150 f
Blood pressure measurements determined with AK150f are equivalent to
those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation
method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard
Manual, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. This unit is to be
used by adult consumers in a home environment. Do not use this device
on infants or neonates. AK150f is protected against manufacturing de-
fects by an established International Warranty Program. For warranty in-
formation, you can contact the manufacturer, Rossmax International Ltd.
1. Introduction
Attention:
Consult the accompanying documents. Please read this man-
ual carefully before use. For specific information on your own
blood pressure, contact your physician. Please be sure to keep
this manual.

3. Real Fuzzy Measuring Technology
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Be-
fore the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure
equivalent to the air pressure. This unit will determine the appropriate infla
-
tion level based on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deflation.
During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the
pressure oscillations and thereby determine for you the systolic blood pres-
sure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse.
4. Preliminary Remarks
This Blood Pressure Monitor complies with the European regulations and
bears the CE mark "CE 0366". The quality of the device has been verified
and conforms to the provisions of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC (Medi-
cal Device Directive), Annex I essential requirements and applied harmo-
nized standards.

- Part 1 - General requirements
EN 1060-3: 1997/A2: 2009 Non-invasive sphygmomanometers
- Part 3 - Supplementary requirements for electro-mechanical blood pressure

- Part 4 - Test Procedures to determine the overall system accuracy of auto-
mated non-invasive sphygmomanometers.
This blood pressure monitor was designed for long service
time. To ensure continued accuracy, it's recommended that
all digital blood pressure monitors require re-calibration. This
monitor does not require re-calibration for 2 years under nor-
mal usage with approximately 3 times a day, until, at which
time your monitor displays
. The unit should also be re-calibrated if the
monitor sustains damage due to blunt force (such as dropping) or exposure
to fluids and / or extreme hot or cold temperature / humidity changes. When
appears, simply return to your nearest dealer for re-calibration service.
5. Blood Pressure Standard
The National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating
Committee
has developed a blood pressure standard, classifying blood pres-
sure ranges into 4 stages.
(Ref. The Seventh Report
of the Joint National Committee on Prevention,
Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood
Pressure-Complete Report JNC-7, 2004)
This blood
pressure classification are based on historical data,
and may not be directly applicable to any particular
patient. It is important that you consult with your
physician regularly. Your physician will tell you
your normal blood pressure range as well as the
point at which you will be considered at risk. For
reliable monitoring and reference of blood pres-
sure, keeping long- term records is recommended.

6. Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all
the time!
You should not be overly worried
if you encountered two or three
measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the
month and even throughout the
day. It is also influenced by season
and temperature.

1. Connect the AC adapter with the AC adapter jack in the back of the unit.
2. Plug the AC adapter into the socket. Please use the compatible AC adapt-
ers. (AC adapters with required voltage and current indicated near the AC
adapter jack.)
Note:
It is strongly recommended that you con-
sult your physician if the IHB icon (
)
appears often.
9. Using the AC Adapter (Optional)
This unit is equipped with an Irregular Heartbeat
(IHB) Detector which allows those who have an
irregular heartbeat to obtain accurate measure-
ments alerting the user of the presence of an ir-
regular heart beat during the measurement.
AC Adapter
(Ø3.8/Ø1.3)
Caution:
1. Please unload the batteries when operating with the AC mode
for a longer period of time. Leaving the batteries in the com-
partment for a long time may cause leakage, which may lead
to damage of the unit.
2. No batteries are needed when operating with the AC mode.
3. AC adapters are optional. Please contact the distri-butor for the
compatible AC adapters.
4. Use only the authorized AC Adaptor with this blood pressure
monitor. Information for the authorized AC adaptor, please
refer to APPENDIX 1.
10. Installing Batteries
1. Press down and lift the battery cover in the direction of the arrow to open
the battery compartment.
2. Install or replace 4 “AA” sized batteries in the battery compartment ac-
cording to the indications inside the compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover by clicking in the bottom hooks first, then push
in the top end of the battery cover.
4. As the supplied batteries are for test only, they may be discharged earlier
than batteries you buy in stores. Replace the batteries in pairs. Remove
batteries when unit is not in use for extended periods of time.
You need to replace the batteries when:
1. low battery icon appears on display.
2. the ON/OFF/START key is pressed and nothing appears on display.
Caution:
1. Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose them to-
gether with the household garbage.
2. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Batteries or damage
from old batteries are not covered by warranty.
3. Use exclusively brand batteries. Always replace with new
batteries together. Use batteries of the same brand and
same type.
11. Applying the Cuff
1. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the “Index” end of the cuff through the
D-ring of the cuff.
2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The color strip indication should
be positioned closer to you with the tube pointing in the direction of
your arm (Fig.1). Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the
arm cuff at approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm above the inner side of the
elbow joint (Fig.2). Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of the cuff.
3. Center the tube over the middle of the arm. Press the hook and loop ma-
terial together securely. Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and

your arm. Position the artery mark ( ) over the
main artery (on the inside of your arm) (Fig.3,4).
Note:
Locate the main artery by pressing with 2 fingers approximately 2
cm above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify
where the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is your main artery.
4. Plug in the cuff connecting tube into the unit (Fig.5).
5. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as
your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked (Fig.6).
6. This cuff is suitable for your use if the arrow falls within the solid color line
as shown on the right (Fig.7). If the arrow falls outside the solid color line,
you will need a cuff with other circumferences. Contact your local dealer for
additional size cuffs.
