Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Greater Goods Premium Blood Pressure Monitor. This device is designed for accurate and convenient measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as pulse rate, at home. Regular monitoring can provide valuable health insights. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure correct operation and optimal results.
What's Included
Your Greater Goods Premium Blood Pressure Monitor package includes the following components:
- High-Definition Blood Pressure Monitor Unit
- Adjustable Upper Arm Cuff (fits 8.75"-16.5" circumference)
- Durable Carrying Case
- 4 AA Batteries
- Wall Plug (AC Adapter)
Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the monitor.
- Insert the four (4) AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
Alternatively, you can power the device using the included AC adapter by plugging it into the monitor's power port and a wall outlet.
2. Connecting the Cuff
- Locate the air tube connector on the blood pressure cuff.
- Firmly insert the air tube connector into the air jack on the side of the monitor unit. Ensure it is fully inserted to prevent air leakage during measurement.
Operating Instructions
1. Proper Cuff Placement
Accurate readings depend on correct cuff placement. Follow these steps:
- Sit in a comfortable position with your feet flat on the floor and your arm resting on a table at heart level.
- Slide the cuff onto your bare upper arm, approximately 1 inch (2-3 cm) above your elbow. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm.
- Ensure the artery mark on the cuff is aligned with your brachial artery (inner arm).
- Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm, securing it with the hook-and-loop fastener. It should be tight enough that you can barely slide two fingers underneath.
2. Taking a Measurement
- After proper cuff placement, remain still and silent.
- Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
- The monitor will measure your blood pressure during inflation, providing faster results.
- Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will be displayed on the large backlit LCD.
- Press the START/STOP button again to turn off the monitor, or it will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity.
3. Understanding Your Readings
The display shows three key values:
- SYS (Systolic Pressure): The pressure when your heart beats.
- DIA (Diastolic Pressure): The pressure when your heart rests between beats.
- PUL/MIN (Pulse Rate): Your heart rate per minute.
The monitor also features an Irregular Heartbeat Detector. If an irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement, a corresponding icon will appear on the display. Consult your physician if this icon appears frequently.
4. Multi-User and Memory Functions
The monitor supports two users (User A and User B) and stores up to 60 measurements for each user. Use the user selection button (often labeled with two person icons) to switch between users. Press the MEM button to review past readings.
