Components

The Artsana PIC Classic Check Blood Pressure Monitor typically includes the following components:

• Main Unit (monitor)
• Arm Cuff
• Instruction Manual
• Storage Bag (may vary by package)
• Batteries (may be included)

Setup

1. Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert the required batteries (e.g., 4 x AA) according to the polarity indicators (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
2. Connect Cuff: Insert the air tube connector from the arm cuff firmly into the air jack on the side of the main unit. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leakage during measurement.

Operating Instructions

Before Measurement:

• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes before measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
• Place your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.

Applying the Arm Cuff:

1. Slide your arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm.
2. Position the cuff approximately 1-2 cm above your elbow joint, directly over your brachial artery.
3. Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. The index line on the cuff should fall within the range indicated.

Taking a Measurement:

1. Once the cuff is correctly positioned, press the red button (Start/Stop button) on the main unit.
2. The cuff will automatically inflate. Remain still and silent during the measurement.
3. After inflation, the cuff will slowly deflate, and your blood pressure readings (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate will be displayed on the large screen.
4. The device may also indicate if the values are too high according to European Society of Hypertension standards.
5. To turn off the device, press the red button again. The device will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity.

Maintenance and Storage

• Cleaning: Wipe the main unit and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If not in use for an extended period, remove the batteries.
