BEFORE YOU BEGIN

INTENDED USE

The Blood Pressure Monitor is a system designed to measure people”s systolic. diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate at home and in clinical settings by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped on the upper arm.
This system is intended for individuals aged 18 or above.

Do not use it for diagnosis of hypertension or testing on newborns, babies, young children, or persons who cannot express their consent.

TEST PRINCIPLE

Blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the arm based on the oscillometric method.
If you have been diagnosed with severe arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, atrial or ventricular premature beats, or atrial fibrillation, measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor or your healthcare professionals.

Electromagnetic interference

The device contains sensitive electronic components.

Avoid strong electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile phones, microwave ovens.
Electrical interference can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy).

TESTING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

BEFORE MEASUREMENT

Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol, and tobacco for at least 30 minutes before measurement.
Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before measurement.
Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.

Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
Take a 5-10-minute break between measurements. This break can be longer if necessary, depending on your physical condition
Keep the records for your doctor as a reference.

Blood pressure naturally varies between each arm. Always measure your blood pressure on the same arm.

FITTING THE CUFF PROPERLY

Plug the cuff connector into the cuff socket on the device’s left side.

Assemble the cuff as shown below. The smooth surface should be inside of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring should not touch your skin.

Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your palm facing up. Slide and place the cuff onto your arm to let the air tube and artery mark the region toward the lower arm.

Wrap and tighten the cuff above your elbow. The artery mark on the edge of the cuff should be approx. 0.8″ to 1.2″ (2 cm to 3 cm) above your elbow. Align the lube over the main arteries on the inside.

Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff: you should be able to fit two fingers between them.

Remove all clothing covering or constricting the measurement arm.
Press the hook material firmly against the pile material. The top and bottom edges of the cuff should be tightened evenly around your upper arm.

PROPER MEASUREMENT POSITION

Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
Place your elbow on a flat surface. Relax your hand with the palm facing up.

Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of your heart.
Press the START/STOP button to switch on the monitor.
Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.

WARNING

If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the obtained blood pressure value could be higher (lower) than the actual value. A 15 cm difference in height may result in an error of around 10 mmHg.

3.2. TAKING MEASUREMENTS
TAKING A SINGLE MEASUREMENT
Always apply the pressure cuff before turning on the monitor.

Press the START button, the pump begins to inflate the cuff. The rising pressure in the cuff is shown on the display.
Pressure in the cuff increases to working pressure. Then the pump stops and the pressure falls.

Note: In case the inflation pressure is not sufficient to determine the measurement result, the monitor automatically re-inflates to a higher level.
The heart symbol starts to flash every heartbeat once a pulse is detected.

After the measurement, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse rate, and color bars classified from ESH (European Society of Hypertension) standards are shown on the display .

If an irregular heartbeat was detected during the measurement, LCD displays the “” icon to remind users of heartbeat irregularity. Please consult your doctor if it appears often.

MONITOR MEMORY

AVERAGE OF ALL STORED MEMORIES

Press the MEM button, LCD shows a set of values averaged from all the stored memories, accompanied by an icon “AV’ .

MEMORY RECALL

The device stores 90 most recent blood pressure test results along with respective dates and times in the monitor memory.

Reviewing Test Results

Press the MEM button again after you see the average of all stored memories, the single memory reading appears.

Per the setting, the first reading you see is the last blood pressure result. Press the MEM button again, and the next measurement e.g. M90, as well as the previous 90 measurements (M88 M87 … M1) can be displayed one after the other.

DELETE ALL STORED MEMORIES

Hold down the SET button 9 times until “CL” flashes on the LCD, press the START button, and all the stored memories inside is removed.

Before you delete all the readings stored in the memory, please make sure you will not need to use them anymore at a later time.

DETAILED INFORMATION

Reference Values

Clinical studies show that adult diabetes is often accompanied by elevated blood pressure.
People with diabetes can reduce their heart risk by managing their blood pressure along with diabetes treatment*1.

Monitoring your routine blood pressure trend helps you to know your body condition. Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle age.
This symptom is a result of continuous aging of the blood vessels. Further causes include obesity, lack of exercise and cholesterol (LDL) adhering to the blood vessels, and diabetes.
Rising blood pressure accelerates hardening of the arteries, and the body becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction.

Definitions and Classification of Blood Pressure Levels according to 2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension:. Data in mm Hg

Isolated systolic hypertension should be graded (1, 2, 3) according to systolic blood pressure values in the ranges indicated, provided that diastolic values are < 90mmHg.
