3. CONNECTING THE CUFF TO THE MONITOR

The cuff is attached to the monitor when it is packaged.

Should the cuff become unattached, align the two plugs

and four brackets of the cuff with the plug sockets and

bracket sockets of the monitor and press the cuff to the monitor until the

plugs and brackets are securely attached.

4. APPLYING THE CUFF

a. Place the cuff around a bare wrist 1-2 cm above the wrist joint on the palm side of

the wrist.

b. While seated, place the arm with the cuffed wrist in front of your body on a desk or

table with the palm up. If the cuff is correctly placed, you can read the LCD display.

c. The cuff must be neither too tight nor too loose.

Note:

1. Please refer to the cuff circumference range in “SPECIFICATIONS” to make sure that the ap-

propriate cuff is used.

2. Measuring on same wrist each time.

3. Do not move your arm, body, or the monitor during measurement.

4. Stay quiet, calm for 5 minutes before blood pressure measurement.

5. Please keep the cuff clean. If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor and clear it by

hand in a mild detergent, then rinse it thoroughly in cold water. Never dry the cuff in clothes

dryer or iron it. Clean the cuff after the usage of every 200 times is recommended.

5. BODY POSTURE DURING MEASUREMENT

Sitting Comfortably Measurement

a. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor, and don’t cross your legs.

b. Place palm upside in front of you on a flat surface such as a table.

c. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of the

heart.

6. TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING

a. After applying the cuff and with your body in a comfortable position, press the “START” button.

A beep is heard and all display characters are shown for self-test. See Fig. 6. Please contact the

service center if a segment is missing.

b. Then the current memory bank (U1 or U2) is flashing. See Fig. 6-1. Press the “MEM” button to

change to the other bank. See Fig. 6-2. Confirm your selection by pressing the “START” button.

The current bank will also be confirmed automatically after 5 seconds with no operation.

c. After selecting the memory bank, the monitor starts to seek zero pressure. See Fig. 6-3.

d. 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. Irregular

heartbeat symbol (if any) will blink. See Fig. 6-4 & 6-5. The result will be automatically stored in

the current memory bank.

e. After measurement, the monitor will turn off automatically after 1 minute of no operation. You

can also press the “START” button to turn off the monitor manually.

f. During measurement, you can press the “START” button to turn off the monitor manually.

Note:

Please consult a health care professional for interpretation of pressure measurements.

7. DISPLAYING STORED RESULTS

a. After the measuring, you can review the measurements in the current memory bank by pressing

the button “MEM”. Now the LCD displays the amount of the results in the current bank. See

Fig. 7.

b. You can also press the “MEM” button in Clock Mode to display the stored results. The current

memory bank will flash and the amount of results in this bank will be displayed. See Fig. 7-1.

Press the “START” button to change to the other bank. See Fig. 7-2. Confirm your selection

by pressing the “MEM” button. The current bank will also be confirmed automatically after

5 seconds with no operation.

c. After selecting the memory bank, the LCD will display the average value of the last three results

in this bank. See Fig. 7-3 & 7-4. If no results are stored, the LCD will show dashes as shown in

Fig. 7-5.

Fig. 7-3 Fig. 7-4

d. When the average is displayed and you press the “MEM” button, the most recent result will be

displayed. See Fig. 7-6. Then the blood pressure and the pulse rate will be shown individually.

128

English

Possibly the irregular heartbeat symbol may flash. See Fig. 7-7 & 7-8. Press the “MEM” button

again to display the next result. See Fig. 7-9. In this way, repeatedly pressing the “MEM” button

displays the respective results measured previously.

Fig. 7-8 Fig. 7-9

e. When displaying the stored results, the monitor will turn off automatically after 1 minute of no

operation. You can also press the “START” button to turn off the monitor manually.

8. DELETING MEASUREMENTS FROM THE MEMORY

When any result (except average reading of the last three results) is displayed and you keeping press-

ing the “MEM” button for three seconds, all results in the current memory bank will be deleted after

three “beeps”. The LCD will show Fig. 8; pressing the “MEM” or the “START” button will turn off the

monitor.

9. ASSESSING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE FOR ADULTS

The following guidelines for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender) have

been established by the World Health Organization (WHO). Please note that other factors (e.g.

diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) also must be taken into consideration. Consult with your physician

for accurate assessment, and never change your treatment by yourself.
