1. Apply the arm cuff following the instruction in
“TO APPLY ARM CUFF”.
2. Rest at least for 5 minutes before each
measurement. Otherwise there may be erroneous results.
3. Sit down in a comfortable position, which your legs should be
uncrossed, feet should be feet on the floor and your back
should be supported by a chair. At the same time your arm
should be supported on a flat surface which the cuff is on a
level with your heart.
4. Relax your arm and turn your palm upward.
5. Relax, keep still and do not talk during the measurement
in order not to distort the result.
BEFORE MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE
TO MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
NOTE :
• This instrument is intended for use by adult only. Do not use this device on or by children,
toddlers and infants.
• For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure, it is recommended to do the
measurement daily at the same time.
• In order to obtain a resting condition blood pressure, do not eat, drink alcohol and caffeinated
beverages, smoke, exercise or bath for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement since
your blood pressure varies time to time depending on what you have eaten, drunk and what
you have done.
• To minimize measurement variations due to physical activity, relax for five to ten minutes
before taking a measurement. If you are excited by emotional stress or muscular movement,
the measurement result given out may be inaccurate. Stress raises blood pressure.
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking measurement.
• Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed environment at room temperature.
• Remain relax, still and do not speak during measurement since the accuracy of any blood
pressure measurement with this device can be affected by those multitude of causes.
• Always wait at least 5 minutes between measurements to allow the blood circulation in
your arm to return to normal. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your
individual physiological characteristic.
• Should the device detect an abnormal condition, it stops the measurement and display an
error code. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” for more details.
• This device bases it measurements on your heartbeat. If you have a very weak or an irregular
heartbeat, the device may have difficulty in determining your blood pressure.
(An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of
all heartbeats during measurement.)
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during measurement, e.g. laying your arms or
any other object on the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
Measurement with storing data
1. Follow the instruction in “BEFORE MEASURING
BLOOD PRESSURE” to make yourself ready.
2. Press [ ] or [ ] button when the device is off
to start measurement. The average blood pressures
and last data number are displayed briefly.
The current pressure is displayed, as the
measurement begins.
3. The cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the cuff to
feel very tight. A pressure bar indicator is displayed
during measurement.
See “PRESSURE BAR INDICATOR” for more details.
4. When inflation is complete, deflation starts
automatically. Once the pulse is detected,
the [ ] blinks with each pulse beat, indicating
that the measurement is in progress.
5. When the measurement is complete, the systolic
and diastolic pressure and pulse rate are displayed
and stored. At the same time, the cuff exhausts the
remaining air and deflates completely.
6. Press either [ ] or [ ] button to turn off the power.
