Taking Your Blood Pressure Measurement
Please sit or lie down for at least 5-10 minues before measuring. Perform measurement while sitting.
STEP 1
Place your elbow on a table or other object. Relax
your hand with he palm facing up.
STEP 2
Make sure the pressure cuff is at the same level
as your heart. This is extremely important for the
accuracy of the results. Higher or lower positions will give deviations from the true value.
From the default screen, press the " " button located in the center of the key pad to continue.
A graphic will appear to show the correct placement of the cuff
on the arm.
Your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ will begin to inflate automatically.
Do not talk or move during the measurement.
The cuff will quickly inflate to the appropriate level and will
get tighter around your arm. If the cuff becomes too tight, press
any button to stop the unit from inflating and then re-wrap the cuff, leaving a little more room
between the cuff and your arm.
! You can stop the inflation/deflation at any time by pressing any button on
your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ !
When the measurement is complete, the cuff will automatically deflate releasing the cuff’s air
pressure. Your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ will then display your reading automatically, and begin to
communicate when you are using your IDEAL LIFE Pod™. Your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ will notify you
on the bottom of the display as to the status of your connection. Connection times may vary
depending on many factors. Your reading will always be stored in your meter memory for local lookup.
After displaying your reading and automatically communicating the information, your meter will
automatically return to the default screen before going to sleep mode. Each time your IDEAL LIFE
BP-Manager™ communicates successfully to IDEA LIFE through your IDEAL LIFE Pod™ the time and
date are set to ensure reliable date and time stamping of all readings.
