1. What is blood pressure ? Blood pressure is a measurement of the force of blood Àowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, the lowest is the diastolic blood pressure. Both pressure readings, the systolic and the diastolic are necessary to enable a physician to evaluate the status of a patient's blood pressure.
as near as possible to measuring the blood pressure in an environment that is close to this, is why it is useful to take the measurement at home. A. WHO blood pressure classifications Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure without regard to age, have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart. * Figure No.1 B. Variations in blood pressure Individual blood pressures vary greatly both on a daily and a seasonal basis.
The thick line represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12 PM (B in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain. 3. Important information before use of the unit Please rest for at least 5~10 minutes before taking the measurement. To allow your blood vessels to return to the condition prior to taking the measurement, please wait at least 3~5 minutes between measurements. You may need to adjust the wait time according to your personal physiological situation.
Perform measurement quietly in a relaxed position. Do not wind the cuff over jacket or sweater sleeve, or measurement cannot be done. Keep in mind, that blood pressure naturally varies from time to time throughout the day and also is affected by lots of different factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, medication and physical activity.

5. Changing batteries Remove the battery cover at the left side of the unit and insert batteries into the battery compartment in accordance with ribbon strip as shown, taking extreme care that the polarities + and - are observed. Important notice: to take the batteries out easily, just pull the ribbon strip for help. * Figure No.4 6. Attaching pressure cuff A. Wrap the pressure cuff around the wrist. a. The display of the unit should be placed on the palm side of the wrist. b. The wrist should be bare.
B. Fasten the pressure cuff snugly. a. Do not pull strongly on the pressure cuff. 13.5 ~ 19.5 cm (5.3 ~ 7.7 inch) b. Do not make the pressure cuff too tight. * Figure No.5-1 7. Correct measurement position It is extremely important for the measured values, that the cuff is at the same height of the heart. Higher or deeper position will give deviations from the true value. Measurement while sitting down: a. Place your elbow on a table or other object (such as our carry case). b.
8. Symbol Definitions SYMBOLS Definitions This symbol appears when the battery power is excessively low or the polarity reverses. Low Battery Symbol ᇄ We suggest you replace all batteries with new ones, and make sure the +/- polarities are properly positioned. Once pulse is detected, the symbol Àashes with each pulse beat. Heart Rate Symbol AVG ᇄ Our suggestion: Please do not talk or move during measurements. This symbol appears when LCD displays average value of last 3 readings.
SYMBOLS/ SYMPTOMS Measuring Error Symbol shown on display or the blood pressure value is displayed excessively low or high. CONDITIONS/ CAUSES INDICATION/ CORRECTION Cuff has been placed Wrap the cuff properly incorrectly. so that it is positioned correctly. Did you talk or move Measure again. Keep during measurement? wrist steady during measurement. Shaking of the wrist with the cuff on. Air circuit abnormality. Measure again.
9. How to measure A. Inserting batteries in position: a. Open battery cover. b. Refer to the picture in positioning batteries. (Figure No.4) c. All LCD segments appear on the display in 3 seconds. B. Setting Date and Time: a. Press " " button over 2 secs ("year" starts Àashing) Press " " button to set the correct year (2011,2012,…2026) b. Press " " button ("month" starts Àashing) Press " " button to set the correct month (1,2,3,.....12) c.
c. Press" "button. All elements display '888' in 3 seconds. Afterward, displays the updated time. The measuring blood pressure symbol will Àash on the display and then the air pressure will automatically pump up to 195 mmHg. If blood pressure tends to be on the high level, the air pressure will automatically increase to the required level for measurement. * Do not move or talk in the midst of taking blood pressure measurement. d. After the air pressure is increased, it will slowly decrease.
b. Recalling data: (1). Press " M " button. If there is no data in the memory, only TIME /DATE will appear on the display. If yes, the ¿rst reading will be the average of the latest 3 measurements. (The average value dose not appear if there are two or fewer measurements stored in memory.) (2). Press " M " button again, the latest measurement will appear with the number as well as the recording date and time. The data called up on the display is numbered accordingly.
10.MAINTENANCE: Use a piece of cloth with water or mild cleansing agent to clean the case and then use a piece of dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use gas or any strong cleansers in cleaning. When the unit is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries. (Leaking of battery liquid can cause trouble) 11.SAFE-KEEPING: Always keep the unit in the carrying case after its use. Do not put the item directly under the sunlight, in high temperature, or humid and dusty places.
13.WARNING: The device measures the blood pressure of adult only. The device is not supposed to be used if your wrist has any wound or injury. In the event of the cuff pumping up and not stopping, please open the cuff at once. To ensure precise measurement reading, recalibration of the device is recommended after 2 years from the date of purchase. Shipping plus handling cost and recalibration service fee shall be charged accordingly.
