6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Taking a Measurement
- Ensure the cuff is correctly placed on your wrist and your arm is positioned at heart level.
- Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will begin to inflate automatically using MWI technology.
- Remain still and silent during the measurement. The device will deflate automatically once the measurement is complete.
- Your Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA) blood pressure, and Pulse rate (PUL) will be displayed on the screen.
- The reading will automatically be stored in the device's memory.
- Press the START/STOP button again to turn off the device, or it will automatically power off after a period of inactivity.
6.2 Memory Functions
The monitor can store up to 180 readings (90 for User 1 and 90 for User 2).
- To view stored readings, press the MEM button when the device is off.
- Each press of the MEM button will cycle through the stored readings, displaying the most recent first.
- The device will also display the average of the last 3 readings.
- To switch between User 1 and User 2 memory, press the SET button while viewing memory.
- To clear all memory for the current user, press and hold the MEM button for approximately 5 seconds until 'CLR' appears on the display.
7. Understanding Your Readings
7.1 WHO Hypertension Indicator
The monitor features a color-coded bar on the left side of the display, which visually indicates your blood pressure classification according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines:
- Green: Normal Blood Pressure
- Yellow: Pre-Hypertension
- Orange: Stage 1 Hypertension
- Red: Stage 2 Hypertension
This indicator provides a quick reference, but always consult a healthcare professional for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.
7.2 Irregular Heartbeat Detection
If an irregular heartbeat is detected during a measurement, a special symbol (often a heart icon with wavy lines) will appear on the display. This indicates that your heart rhythm was irregular during the measurement. While this feature can be an early warning, it is not a diagnostic tool. If this symbol appears frequently, consult your physician for further evaluation.
8. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the monitor and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
- Storage: Store the device in its carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Avoid Impact: Do not drop the device or subject it to strong shocks.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Check battery polarity; replace with new AAA batteries. |
| "E" or "Error" message on display | Cuff not applied correctly; movement during measurement; speaking during measurement. | Re-apply cuff correctly; remain still and silent during measurement; ensure wrist is at heart level. |
| Inconsistent readings | Improper cuff placement; body movement; talking; recent activity (eating, smoking, exercise). | Ensure proper cuff placement and body position; take measurements at the same time each day; avoid activity for 30 minutes prior. |
| Irregular Heartbeat symbol appears frequently | Actual irregular heartbeat detected. | Consult your physician for medical advice. |
