Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor Loading Batteries a. Open the battery cover on the base of the monitor. Replacing Batteries b. Insert four “AAA” batteries, observing correct polarity. • When the LCD screen displays ‘low battery’ c. Close the battery door. new batteries must be inserted immediately Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. • to ensure accurate results. • Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the monitor.
Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor Clock and Date Adjustment a. Once you install the battery or turn off the monitor, it will enter standby mode, and LCD will alternate between time and date. b. While the monitor is in standby, press and hold both the ‘start’ and ‘memory’ buttons simultaneously until the green backlight comes on and the month digit starts to blink. Press the ‘memory’ button repeatedly (or press and hold for rapid advance) to select the correct month.
Backlight Indicator and Classification of Blood Pressure The backlight will change according to your measured result. The table below shows the different blood pressure classifications as defined by the British Hypertension Society and the corresponding backlight colour. Please note that factors such as smoking, obesity & diabetes will affect your blood pressure. Always consult your physician or healthcare professional before starting a diet or exercise regime.
Irregular Heart Beat This monitor can detect possible irregular heart beat (cardiac arrhythmia) disorders during measurement and if detected indicates the detection with the flashing icon . Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects in the bioelectrical system that controls the beating of the heart.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Your First test The British Hypertension Society (BHS) recommends that for your first test you test both your arms. (Note: Ensure you do not suffer from any medical conditions which will prevent you from having your blood pressure measured in both arms). This will determine which arm should be used for future measurements. Take note of your systolic (higher number) reading on both arms.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Putting on the Cuff a b c a. Place the cuff 1~2cm above the elbow joint. Measuring can be done on light clothing such as a shirt or blouse. However, if you have a weak pulse, it is recommended you test on a bare arm. Remove any tight or restrictive clothing from your arm. For example, restriction caused by rolling up shirt sleeve. b. Place hand on a flat surface with the palm facing up and with the rubber tube running down the center of the arm. c.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Start a. We recommend that you carry out your test whilst sitting at a table with both of your feet flat on the floor (ensuring the cuff is at the same height as your heart). This will place your arm and the monitor in . results. an ideal position for the best b. Place the cuff on your selected arm. After applying the cuff and your body is in a comfortable position, press the ‘start’ button.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor d. After selecting the memory bank, the monitor starts to seek zero pressure. e. The monitor inflates the cuff until sufficient pressure has built up for a measurement. Then the monitor slowly releases air from the cuff and carries out the measurement. Finally the blood pressure and pulse rate will be calculated and displayed on the LCD screen separately. The irregular heartbeat symbol (if any) will be displayed on the LCD.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Measuring Process a. Once the cuff has automatically inflated, the LCD screen will display whilst the pressure is gradually reduced and the monitor takes an automatic measurement. b. The monitor will beep when the automatic measurement has finished. • If there is an error or abnormal reading, please refer to the “Abnormality & Troubleshooting” section.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Memory The memory can store 2 users x 30 sets of measurements. The results will be automatically stored. Once the memory has been filled with 30 sets of data, the 31st measurement when taken will be stored as the most recent reading whilst the first reading you took will be automatically deleted. To delete all stored results, press ‘memory’ once to memory mode. Press and hold ‘memory’ for 3 seconds. All results will be deleted.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Deleting Measurements from the Memory To delete the measurements from a memory bank, select the memory bank from standby mode by pressing the ‘memory’ button. Use the ‘start’ button to select U1 or U2, then press the ‘memory’ button once again to confirm. Press and hold the ‘memory’ button until 3 beeps are heard. The memory bank has now been cleared. Press the ‘memory’ or ‘start’ button to return to standby mode.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor What the results mean a. The LCD screen will automatically display the systolic and diastolic pressure reading in mmHg and the pulse rate in pulse/min after each measurement. b. Record the date, time, systolic reading, diastolic reading and pulse rate on your record card which you will find in the back of the user manual (including anything which may have influenced your blood pressure reading e.g. stress, anxiety). This will help you monitor trends.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Re-measuring If you want to measure again, press ‘start’ button to switch off and press ‘start’ button again. • Leave at least three minutes between measurements to allow blood circulation to the arm to return to normal. • Do not measure your blood pressure too many times in one session as it may cause discomfort in the arm. • If you feel any discomfort or pain, turn the monitor off and remove the cuff immediately.
Additional Information on Blood Pressure Your heart is just like a pump which works all the time to make the blood flow through all blood vessels. Blood pressure measures the force on the wall of the blood vessels caused by the pressure of the blood. The output of blood from the heart when it pushes blood around the body is called systolic blood pressure. Diastolic blood pressure is the measurement of the blood returning to the heart.

Abnormality & Troubleshooting Abnormality The cuff does not inflate or the display shows low pressure during inflation LCD screen shows battery symbol LCD screen shows abnormal result No response when buttons pressed LCD shows “Er 0” Reason Action Pressure loss due to air leakage in socket or cuff. Socket is not connected properly. Check the connection between the socket and monitor. Reconnect the socket properly. Batteries are low.
Abnormality & Troubleshooting LCD shows “Er 3” Pneumatic system blocked or cuff is too tight during inflation. LCD shows “Er 4” Pneumatic system leakage or cuff is too loose during inflation. LCD shows “Er 5” Inflation above 300mmHg. LCD shows “Er 6” Over 3 minutes while pressure above 15 mmHg. LCD shows “Er 7” EEPROM accessing error. LCD shows “Er 8” Device parameter check error. LCD shows “Er A” Pressure sensor parameter error. No response when you press button or load battery.
