This is made evident by the (0123: The reference number to the involved notified body). The device is designed for use on adults only, not newborns or infants. Environment for use. The device is for use in the home healthcare environment. This device is designed to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of people for diagnosis.
Do not apply the cuff on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood transfusion. It may cause injury or accidents. Do not use the dvice where flammable gases such as anesthetic gases are present. It may cause an explosion. Do not use the device in highly concentrated oxygen environments, such as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an oxygen tent. It may cause a fire or explosion.

Symbols SN Function / Meaning Refer to instruction manual/booklet Serial number Polarity of DC jack Recommended Action Operation Mode 1. Normal Measurement With Storing Data ( Refer to page 9) Press the START button. Blood pressure is measured and data is stored within the device. The device can store the last thirty sets of data in memory automatically. 2. Recalling Data ( Refer to page 11) When nothing is displayed, press and hold the START button to display the data number.
Using the Monitor Installing / Changing The Batteries 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Remove the used batteries and insert new batteries into the battery compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+) and (-) are correct. 3. Replace the battery cover. Use only R6P, LR6 or AA batteries. CAUTION Insert the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. If not, the device will not work. When (LOW BATTERY mark) blinks on the display, replace all batteries with new ones.
Using the Monitor Selecting The Correct Cuff Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. If the cuff is not the proper size, the reading may yield an incorrect blood pressure value. The arm size is printed on each cuff. The index and proper fit range, on the cuff, tell you if you are applying the correct cuff. (Refer to "Applying The Arm Cuff" on next page) If the index points outside of the range, contact your local dealer to purchase a replacement cuff. The arm cuff is a consumable.
Using The Monitor Applying The Arm Cuff Do not roll up shirtsleeve tightly 1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1 to 2 cm above the inside of the elbow, as shown. Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse and result in a measurement error. Cuff Artery position mark 2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings. 3. Confirm that the index proper fit range.
Measurements Model UA-621 is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the cuff to a systolic pressure level automatically. If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, read "Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure" on the next page. Normal Measurement 1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm). Sit quietly during measurement. At heart level 2. Press the START button. The average blood pressures and last data number are displayed briefly.
Measurements Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, use this procedure. 1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm). At heart level Press and hold 2. Press and hold the START button to display the last data number. 3. Press and hold the START button again until a number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure appears. Last data number Press and hold 4.
About Memory The device automatically stores up to thirty blood pressure and pulse measurements in memory. Data stored in memory are assigned a data number in the order of the newest to the oldest. The oldest data displays as "n01". The M symbol in the upper left corner of the display indicates that you are viewing previous data stored in memory. Recalling Data 1. When nothing is displayed, press and hold the START button to display the data number.
What Is An Irregular Heartbeat Model UA-621 provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is important that you be relaxed, remain still and do not talk during measurements. Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this frequently.
About Blood Pressure What Is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.
Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure described in this manual to get to know your normal blood pressure. Regular readings give a more comprehensive blood pressure history. Be sure to note date and time when recording your blood pressure. Consult your doctor to interpret your blood pressure data. Troubleshooting Problem Nothing appears on the display, even when the power is turned on. Possible Reason Batteries are drained. Recommended Action Replace all batteries with new ones.
