2. Wearing the Cuff Correctly
- Wrap the cuff around your upper arm.
- Make sure the cuff is about 2-3 cm (1 inch) above the elbow.

3. Taking a Measurement
Once the cuff is correctly positioned and you are relaxed, press the "START/STOP" button. The monitor will automatically inflate the cuff and begin the measurement. Remain still and quiet during this process. The readings (Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse) will be displayed on the large screen once complete.

4. Understanding Your Readings
The monitor displays Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA), and Pulse readings. You can compare your readings to the WHO (World Health Organization) standards provided on the back of the device or in the user manual to determine if your blood pressure is normal, low, or high.
| Blood Pressure Value | WHO Indicators |
|---|---|
| DIA≥110 or SYS≥180 | 3 Severe |
| DIA≥100 & SYS≥160 | 2 Moderate |
| DIA≥90 & SYS≥140 | 1 Mild |
| DIA<90 & SYS<140 | N High Normal |
| DIA<85 & SYS<130 | N Normal |
| DIA<80 & SYS<120 | N Optimal |
The monitor also calculates the average of the last three readings for more reliable results. Obtaining an average value from three consecutive measurements will yield a more accurate result.
5. Data Storage and Tracking
The OVUTEK Blood Pressure Monitor can store up to 245 readings for 3 different users. Each reading is timestamped, allowing you to easily view and track historical data to understand trends in your health status. This feature is ideal for personal use or for sharing within a family.

3. Battery Replacement
When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace all three AA batteries with new ones to ensure accurate readings and proper device function.
Troubleshooting
- Q: Why does the blood pressure monitor give different or incorrect readings?
- A: Incorrect readings may result from improper cuff positioning or failure to remain quiet and relaxed during measurement. It is recommended that the average of the last three readings be taken to increase the reliability of the measurement.
- Q: Why does the screen of the BP machine not display or not work?
- A: If the display is not functioning, it may be due to improperly installed batteries or depleted battery power. Please replace the batteries and try again.
- Q: Can the cuff of the blood pressure machine inflate normally?
- A: If the cuff does not inflate, check the cuff for tears and make sure the inflation tube is not compressed. It is recommended to read the user manual before taking measurements in order to be able to put the cuff on correctly.
- Q: Can the BP monitor transmit data through Bluetooth?
- A: Our blood pressure monitor does not support Bluetooth transmission but features memory storage, capable of storing 245 sets of data for 3 users.
