2.3 Cuff Selection and Attachment

Selecting the correct cuff size is crucial for accurate readings. An improperly sized cuff can lead to inaccurate results (falsely high or low).

How to Choose the Correct Cuff Size:

1. Measure the circumference of your upper arm, midway between your shoulder and elbow.
2. Refer to the table below to select the appropriate cuff:

Cuff Attachment:

1. Ensure the air tube is securely connected to the monitor's air jack.
2. Place the cuff on your bare upper arm, 2-3 cm (approximately 1 inch) above your elbow. The red area on the cuff should be centered over the inside of your elbow.
3. Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. The D-ring and Hook and Loop Fastener facilitate easy application.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Before Taking a Measurement

For the most accurate blood pressure readings, observe the following guidelines:

• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, or exercising for 30 minutes prior.
• Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Do not cross your legs.
• Place your arm on a flat surface so the cuff is at heart level.
• Remain still and silent during the measurement. Do not talk or move.
• Take measurements at the same time each day, preferably in the morning.

• Pulse Rate (PUL): Your heart rate, measured in beats per minute.

The monitor also includes a WHO (World Health Organization) classification indicator, which visually categorizes your blood pressure reading.

3.4 Memory Function

The monitor can store up to 500 readings for each of the three users. To access stored readings:

1. Ensure the monitor is powered on.
2. Press the 'MEM' button. The most recent reading for the currently selected user will be displayed.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the monitor and cuff with a soft, dry cloth.
• If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.

4.2 Storage

• Store the monitor and cuffs in the provided carrying bag when not in use.
• Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your blood pressure monitor, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/Display: Check battery installation and polarity. Replace batteries if low. Ensure USB-C cable is properly connected if using external power.
• Inaccurate Readings: Review Section 3.1 on "Before Taking a Measurement" to ensure proper technique and conditions. Verify correct cuff size and placement.
• Cuff Not Inflating/Deflating: Check that the air tube is securely connected to both the cuff and the monitor. Ensure the cuff is properly wrapped around the arm.
• Error Codes: If an error code appears on the display, consult the full instruction manual for specific meanings and solutions. Generally, re-applying the cuff and retaking the measurement after a brief rest can resolve many temporary errors.

If problems persist, contact AQESO customer support for assistance.
