Remain still and refrain from talking; measurement in progress. Appears on display prior to and during measurement. Blinks if there is air in cuff at power up. Press exhaust button to release air. RE-MEASURE Measurement begun, but pressure is not sufficient for reading. Increase pressurization by 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg and repeat measurement.

? HOW 702 WORKS LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” — a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. The cuff is first inflated until the artery is fully occluded. Then, the monitor takes measurements while the cuff deflates.
PAGE 6
SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small yields a measurement that is higher. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow. RECOMMENDED CUFF SIZE REPLACEMENT CUFF MODEL# 5.1” - 7.9” (13-20cm) Small UA-279 7.5” - 12.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE ☞ IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day. 4. Press the POWER button. 5. Watch for all display symbols to appear briefly, followed by a zero, indicating that monitor is ready for measurement. 6. Watch the display and squeeze the bulb quickly until cuff pressure reaches about 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg above expected systolic pressure.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 7. Sit quietly during measurement. Pressure values are displayed at left, then right, along with ❤ symbol blinks and beeps with pulse beat. NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the exhaust valve to release air. 8. Wait for the long beep, indicating that the measurement is complete. Your systolic pressure will appear on the left and your diastolic pressure on the right of the display screen, alternating with pulse reading. 9.
PAGE 10
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 10.Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure and pulse rate on the chart (see page 16), indicating date and time of measurement. We advise that you record the date and time after each measurement because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings but on a pattern over time. NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure again, relax and wait 5–10 minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return to normal.
PAGE 11
CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY Exhaust velocity is the rate at which the air pressure in the cuff deflates during the course of measurement. It is preset at the factory and generally does not need any further adjustment. NOTE: The exhaust rate of your monitor was preset and tested at the factory to ensure proper measurement. The rate set is dependent on cuff size, not arm size. If using a cuff other than the one shipped with the unit, you may need to adjust the exhaust velocity rate.
PAGE 12
CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY 4. Watch the display screen. As pressure automatically decreases, diastolic numbers should decline in increments of 2 to 5 mmHg. If the exhaust velocity range is not within 2 to 5 mmHg, make the following adjustment with the unit turned off: 1. The adjustment screw is located on the exhaust valve attached to the inflator bulb. It is covered by a thin grey protection cap with a hole in the center.
