Setting Date, Time and Measurement Unit

It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure monitor, so that a time stamp can be assigned to each record that is stored in the memory, (year :2011—2050 time format:12 H)

1 .When the unit is off, hold “SET” for 3 seconds to enter the mode for year setting. 2.Press the “MEM” to change the [YEAR]. Each press will increase the numeral by one in a cycling manner. 3. When you get the right year, press “SET" to confirm, and it will divert to the [MONTH] setting.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the [MONTH] and [DAY]. 5.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the [HOUR] and [MINUTE]. 6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the [MEASUREMENT UNIT]. 7.After the [MEASUREMENT UNIT] is set,the LCD will display “dOnE”, and then turn off.

*Tie the Cuff

Tie the cuff on your upper arm, then position the tube off-center toward the inner side of arm in line with the little finger. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert one finger between the cuff and your arm. Sit comfortably with your arm resting on a flat surface. Patients with Hypertension should sit with correct posture. - Bare your arm or wear tights only when starting measurement. - Sit comfortably with legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, back and arm supported. The center of the cuff should be at the same level as the right atrium of the heart. Rest For 5 minutes before measuring. Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood circulation to recover. For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same wrist, or as directed by a physician.

INFORMATION FOR USER

Tips for Measurement

Measurements may be inaccurate if taken in the following circumstances.

Maintenance

In order to get the best performance, please follow the instructions below.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?

When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.

What is the standard blood pressure classification?

The chart on the right is the standard blood pressure classification published by American Heart Association (AHA).

AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP

CAUTION

Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your measuring result falls out of the range. Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.

Irregular Heartbeat Detector

An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation.

If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15,the irregular heartbeat symbol appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.

CAUTION

The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?

1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple times everyday. It is also affected by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so please take the measurement under the same conditions. 2.lf the person takes medicine, the pressure will vary more. 3.Wait at least 3 minutes for another measurement.

Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared to the hospital?

The blood pressure is different even throughout the day due to weather, emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is the “white coat” effect, which means blood pressure usually increases in clinical settings.

What you need to pay attention to when you measure your blood pressure at home:

If the cuff is too tight or too loose.

If the cuff is tied on the upper arm. If you feel anxious.

Taking 2-3 deep breaths before beginning will be better for measuring.

Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.

Is the result the same if measuring on the right arm? It is ok for both arms, but there will be some different results for different people. We suggest you measure the same arm every time.
