Setup

1. Powering the Device

The ALPHAGOMED Blood Pressure Monitor offers two power options:

• AAA Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the device and insert the 4 included AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
• USB-C Cable: Connect the provided Type-C USB cable to the port on the side of the monitor and plug the other end into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port).

You can use either power source. If using batteries, ensure they are fresh for optimal performance. The device can be powered by the USB-C cable even without batteries installed.

2. Attaching the Cuff

The monitor comes with two cuff sizes: a standard M/L cuff (9"-17") and an extra-large (XL) cuff (13"-21"). Choose the cuff that best fits your upper arm circumference to ensure accurate readings.

1. Select the Correct Cuff: Measure your upper arm circumference and select either the M/L cuff (for arm sizes 9-17 inches) or the XL cuff (for arm sizes 13-21 inches).
2. Connect the Cuff: Insert the air tube connector from the chosen cuff firmly into the air jack on the side of the main monitor unit.
3. Position the Cuff:
   • Place the cuff on your bare upper arm, approximately 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches) above the elbow joint.
   • Ensure the air tube runs down the center of your arm, aligned with your middle finger.
   • The bottom edge of the cuff should be above the bend of your elbow.
   • Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm, but not too tightly. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.

Operation

1. Taking a Measurement

For accurate readings, ensure you are relaxed, seated comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, and your arm supported at heart level. Avoid talking or moving during the measurement.

1. Prepare for Measurement: Sit quietly for at least 5 minutes before taking a reading. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoking for 30 minutes prior.
2. Select User (Optional): The device supports 2 user modes. Press the MEM button to switch between User 1 and User 2 if you wish to store readings separately.
3. Start Measurement: Press the large START/STOP button. The cuff will automatically inflate, and the measurement will begin. Remain still and silent.
4. View Results: Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse readings will be displayed on the large backlit LCD screen. The reading will automatically be saved to the selected user's memory.

2. Understanding Readings with 3-Color Indicator

The ALPHAGOMED monitor features a 3-color indicator on the upper right corner of the display, based on WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines, to help you quickly interpret your blood pressure status:

• Green Light: Indicates Normal Blood Pressure.
• Orange Light: Indicates Mild Hypotension (Pre-hypertension) or slightly elevated pressure.
• Red Light: Indicates High Blood Pressure (Hypertension).

Always consult your healthcare professional for interpretation of your blood pressure readings and for any medical advice.
