1. Introduction 1.1. Features of your Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Your blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use by adults on the upper arm at home or in your doctor’s/nurse’s office. It enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as the pulse by way of the oscillometric method. This device offers clinically proven accuracy and has been designed to be user friendly.
2. Important information on blood pressure and its measurement 2.1. How does high/low blood pressure arise? Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart (pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is affected by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls.
Which values are normal? The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (in adults) have been established by the National Institutes of Health JNC7, 2003.
d) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood pressure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes. 1) Eating habits • Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. See your doctor for your ideal weight. • Avoid excessive consumption of common salt. • Avoid fatty foods.
3. Components of your blood pressure monitor a) Measuring unit AC Adapter Port Bluetooth® Switch Cuff Socket Time/Date Button Hypertension Risk Indicator Memory Recall Button ON/OFF/ START/STOP Button b) Wide Range Cuff: For arm circumference 22 cm - 42 cm (8.7” - 16.5”) If you ever need to buy a replacement cuff, call CVS/pharmacy® Blood Pressure Support toll-free at 1-866-464-6184. Please Note: Arm circumference should be measured with a measuring tape in the middle of the relaxed upper arm.
4. Using your blood pressure monitor for the first time 4.1. Inserting the batteries After you have unpacked your device, insert the batteries. The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the device. a) Remove the battery cover. b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AA 1.5 V), observing the indicated polarity. c) If a battery warning appears in the display, the batteries are discharged and must be replaced.
4. Once you have set the last minute and pressed the TIME button, the date and time are set and the time is displayed. 5. To change the date and time, press and hold TIME for approximately 3 seconds until the MAM symbol and ON/OFF flash onscreen. Release and press TIME again and the year number will flash. Enter the new values as described above. 4.4. Using the AC power adapter You may also operate this monitor using the included AC adapter. Use only the included AC adapter to avoid damaging the unit.
4.5. Cuff tube connection Insert the cuff tube into the opening on the left side of the instrument. T STAROP ST M 4.6. Select the user This blood pressure monitor is designed to store 120 measurements for each of two users. In addition, there is a guest mode in which results are not stored. Before taking a measurement, be certain that the correct user has been selected. a) With the unit off, press and release the TIME button to cycle through users ("1,""2" or guest mode).
4.7. Select the measuring mode: standard or measurement averaging mode (MAM) This instrument enables you to select either standard (single measurement) or measurement averaging mode (automatic triple measurement). a) With the unit off, press the TIME button and hold for 3 seconds, the screen will show the current mode. b) Press the “M” button to switch between standard and averaging mode. c) To select Standard mode, select off. d) To select Averaging mode, select on.
5. Measurement procedure Please note: You should always be seated before and during measurement. 5.1. Before measurement: • Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement. These factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair that gives back and arm support in a quiet atmosphere for about ten minutes before your measurement. • Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
5.3. Fitting the cuff a) Pass the end of the cuff through the flat metal ring so that a loop is formed. The hook and loop material must be facing outward. (Ignore this step if the cuff has already been prepared). b) Slide the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube is closer to your lower arm. c) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated.
Comment If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should be made using the same arm. Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (relax for several minutes before a reading). Cuff on right arm Please consult your physician for any of the following situations: • The application of the cuff over a wound or inflamed area.
Mode) setting, 3 separate measurements will take place in succession, after which your result is calculated and displayed as a single, averaged measurement. There is a 15 second resting time between each measurement. A countdown indicates the remaining time and a beep will sound for 5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings begin. If one of the measurements causes an error message, it will be repeated one more time.
5.6. Discontinuing a measurement If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g., the patient feels unwell), the START/STOP button can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff pressure automatically and enters sleep mode. 5.7. Setting the medication reminder This instrument allows you to set two alarm times at which an alarm signal will then be triggered.
5.8. Hypertension risk indicator The bars on the left-hand edge of the display show you the range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (orange, red) range. The classification is based on standards established by the National Institutes of Health JNC7, 2003. Refer to the chart in section 2.2 of this instruction manual for details of the classifications.
5.9. Irregular heartbeat detector The appearance of this symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal basal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g., several times a week with measurements taken daily), we advise you to tell your doctor.
3. The memory retains all values although date and time (and possibly also set alarm times) must be reset – the year number will flash automatically after the batteries are replaced. 4. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in Section 4.3. Note: Use four new, Long-Life 1.5 V AA batteries. Do not use batteries beyond their expiration date. If the monitor is not going to be used for a prolonged period, the batteries should be removed.
6. Software functions This unit can be used in connection with your compuer (PC / MAC) running the PC Link blood pressure analyzer software.
