Attention:
Consult the accompanying documents. Please read this
manual carefully before use. For specific information on
your own blood pressure, contact your physician. Please
be sure to keep this manual.
Blood pressure measurements determined with AV151f are equiva-
lent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope
auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American
National Standard, 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. AV151f is protected
against manufacturing defects by an established International War-
ranty Program. For warranty information, you can contact the manu-
facturer, Rossmax International Ltd.
1. Introduction
3. Real Fuzzy Measuring Technology
4. Preliminary Remarks
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure.
Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff
pressure equivalent to the air pressure. This unit will determine the
appropriate inflation 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 pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse.
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 (Medical Device Directive), Annex I essential requirements
and applied harmonized standards.

This blood pressure monitor was designed for long service time. To
ensure accurate measurements, this monitor is recommended to be
re-calibrated every two years.
7. Display Explanations
The
National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coor-
dinating Committee
has developed a blood pressure standard,
classifying blood pressure 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 pressure, keeping long- term re-
cords is recommended. Please download

Blood pressure fluctu
-
ates all the time!
You should not be overly
worried if you encoun-
tered two or three meas-
urements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes
over the month and even
throughout the day. It is
also influenced by season
and temperature.

9. 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
according 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. 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 together 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 to-
gether. Use batteries of the same brand and same type.

2. Name/Function of Each Part
1. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the 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 material together securely. Allow room for 2 fingers
to fit between the cuff and your arm. Position the artery mark
(Ø) over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) (Fig. 3,4).
This unit is equipped with an Irregular Heartbeat
Detector (IHB) which allows those who have an ir-
regular heartbeat to obtain accurate measurements
alerting the user of the presence of an irregular
heart beat during the measurement.

Note:
It is strongly recommended that you consult
your physician if the IHB icon (
) appears
often.
Note: Locate the main artery by pressing with 2 fingers approxi-
mately 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.

Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant
fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user,
his or her physiological condition and other factors. For greatest
accuracy, wait one hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking
beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood
pressure.
• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least
5 minutes as measurement taken during a relaxed state will have
greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted
while taking a measurement.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand
muscles.
