Ensure that the battery cover is securely fastened. Info: Ensure that the batteries are correctly installed. Incorrect installation will prevent the device from operating.
in the arteries occurring when the heart contracts. The lower reading (diastolic pressure) shows the lowest pressure in the arteries, which occurs right before the heart contracts. Blood pressure readings are written with the highest value first, then the lowest value. Readings of 120/80 are considered to be normal, with high blood pressure being defined as a systolic pressure which is 140mmHg or more at rest and a diastolic pressure which is 90mmHg or more at rest.
beverages, before a measurement. 4. Remove any clothing on the upper arm to place the cuff directly on the skin. Constriction of the upper arm by clothing or a rolled-up sleeve, as shown at excessive right, may cause an inaccurate reading; remove any constriction constricting garments. 5. Sit down in a chair with back support and place both feet on the floor. 6. Extend the arm from which the blood pressure will be taken to the front or side. Rest your hand, palm-up, on a table as shown at right.
7. Attach the cuff: Hold the area of the cuff where the hose exits the cuff firmly against the inside of the bare upper arm directly over the brachial artery, and the bottom of the cuff approximately one inch (2-3cm) above the elbow, as shown in the third picture at right. Never place the cuff over clothing. Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the arm and secure with the hook and loop fastener. The cuff should be snug, but not too tight.
Measuring blood pressure Symbol key: LCD symbols you may see during measurement Deflating Inflating Measurement error Measuring Low battery 1. Ensure that cuff is properly placed and that you are positioned as described in previous paragraphs. 2. Press the ON/OFF button. All LCD symbols will appear momentarily. If a downward arrow symbol displays, press the exhaust valve button (see earlier labeled picture) located between the inflation bulb and the tube to release the residual pressure from the cuff.
Info: The low battery symbol will also appear at this time while the monitor checks the power level. This does not indicate that the batteries are low unless the low battery symbol remains on continuously. 3. After "0" displays, pressurize the cuff by squeezing the bulb until the pressure value displayed is 50mmHg above your usual systolic pressure. If you do not know your usual systolic pressure, squeeze the bulb just until 200mmHg displays. 4.
Info: To stop measurement in progress for whatever reason, press the exhaust valve button to release the pressure and turn off the device. Info: If during measurement the power drops to an insufficient level, the device will end the measurement and display the low battery symbol. Replace the batteries and repeat the measurement. Info: If the device cannot detect your pulse, it will end the measurement. Wait several minutes, ensure that you and the cuff are positioned properly, and try again. 6.
7. If performing measurement for the first time, repeat the measurement two or more times to ensure that you and cuff are positioned correctly and that results are accurate and consistent. Record your results; there is a log provided, with examples, at the end of this manual for this purpose. Always check with your physician to ensure that readings are performed correctly. If you have concerns or questions about your results, always contact your physician.
MAINTENANCE s NOTICE: To prevent product damage, please follow these recommended care and maintenance instructions: Do not drop or pull excessively on monitor components or subject them to strong impact. Do not use monitor close to any device with a strong electrical field such as television, microwave oven, X-Ray equipment, etc. Never inflate cuff above 300mmHg. Never inflate cuff unless it is positioned on an arm. Do not expose the monitor components to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity.
TROUBLESHOOTING Error indicators Indication Cuff pressure reaches 330mmHg Cause Twisted bladder inside cuff Correction Ensure that bladder lies flat within cuff Indication "Err" displays, cuff pressure releases, then "0 pressure" displays Cause Excessive arm movement or talking during measurement Correction Turn monitor OFF then ON and measure again while remaining still Indication Could not obtain pulse rate Cause Cuff was too loosely applied, extremely weak pulse, or arrhythmia Correction Reap
General troubleshooting Problem Recommended Action Nothing appears in LCD Ensure that batteries are correctly oriented in battery holder (polarity matches battery case placement indicators) No measurement occurs Ensure that cuff is positioned correctly Go over measurement procedure; measure again Blood pressure measurements are too high or too low Ensure that user and cuff are positioned as instructed Rest your arm on a table so that the cuff is level with your heart during measurement Remain seated
