TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
Proceed only after reading the previous sections of this manual.
1. Position the monitor on a flat, stable surface with the digital display
panel in view. Insert the cuff tubing connector into the left side of the
monitor, Fig. 1. Avoid compression or restriction of the connection
tubing during measurement which may cause inflation error, or harmful
injury due to continuous cuff pressure.
2. Rest your elbow on a solid surface with your palm facing
upward. Elevate your arm so that the cuff is at the same level
as your heart, Fig. 2. Relax your left hand. Sit comfortably and
don’t cross your legs. The middle of the cuff should be at the level
of the right atrium of the heart.
3. To select the correct User bank, press the SET button. The
User symbol will begin to blink. Then press the MEMORY
button to switch between User 1 & 2. Once the desired
User is selected, press and hold the POWER button until
the unit powers OFF. Press the POWER button again to
turn the unit ON and begin the measurement.
4. This unit will first run a self-test, Fig. 3. If there is any
residual air in the cuff, the monitor will flash “ ” until
pressure is stabilized as shown in Fig. 4.
5. When the display appears as shown, Fig. 5, the monitor is
ready. The cuff will automatically begin to inflate.
6. Once the cuff inflates to the appropriate pressure level, the measurement
will begin.
7. The unit will begin to automatically deflate and the numbers appearing
on the display will decrease.
8. When all the air is deflated, the measurement is complete. The unit will
display your blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) measurements and
pulse rate, Fig. 6. Record your readings in a chart.
9. Your measurements will automatically be saved in memory.
10. Press the POWER button to turn the power OFF, or the unit will
automatically shut OFF after approximately 2 minutes.
11. Disconnect the tubing from the monitor prior to storing.
