Operating Instructions

1. Preparing for Measurement

1. Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
2. Rest your arm on a table so that the cuff is at heart level.
3. Ensure the cuff is applied directly to your bare skin, about 2-3 cm above your elbow. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm.
4. Remain still and quiet for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.

2. The cuff will automatically inflate. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
3. Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your readings will be displayed on the screen.
4. The monitor will automatically shut down after 3 minutes of inactivity to save power.

Understanding Your Readings

The large 3.55-inch display screen shows your blood pressure readings and pulse rate clearly.

• SYS (Systolic Pressure): The top number, representing the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
• DIA (Diastolic Pressure): The bottom number, representing the pressure in your arteries between beats.
• PUL (Pulse Rate): Your heart rate, measured in beats per minute.

The monitor also features a color-coded indicator on the left side of the display to help you interpret your readings based on standard guidelines:

• Green: Normal blood pressure.
• Yellow: Elevated blood pressure or Hypertension Stage 1.
• Red: Hypertension Stage 2 or Hypertensive Crisis.

The ALPHAGOMED monitor supports two users and stores up to 180 memories (90 for each user), allowing you to track your blood pressure trends over approximately 3 months.

• Switching Users: Use the SET button to toggle between User 1 and User 2 before taking a measurement.

Cuff Sizing and Placement

Proper cuff sizing and placement are crucial for accurate readings. The monitor includes two cuff sizes to accommodate a wide range of arm circumferences:

• Standard Cuff (M/L): Fits arm circumferences from 9 to 17 inches (22-42 cm).
• Extra Large Cuff (XL): Fits arm circumferences from 13 to 21 inches (33-52 cm).

To ensure accuracy, select the cuff that best fits your upper arm. The cuff should be snug but not too tight, allowing two fingers to fit comfortably underneath.
