Frequently Asked Questions - 1143 Lumiscope

How do I choose the correct cuff size for my arm?

Measure the circumference of your upper arm midway between the shoulder and elbow. The Lumiscope 1143 comes with a standard adult cuff that fits arms from 8.7 to 16.5 inches (22-42 cm). If your arm is larger or smaller, consult the manual for optional cuffs.

What does the WHO indicator on the display mean?

The WHO indicator classifies your blood pressure reading into categories (green: normal, orange: prehypertension, red: hypertension) based on World Health Organization guidelines. It helps you quickly assess your reading but is not a substitute for medical advice.

How do I replace the batteries?

Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the monitor, remove old batteries, and insert four new AA batteries following the polarity markings (+/-). Replace the cover when done.

Why does my monitor show an irregular heartbeat symbol?

The monitor detects irregular heartbeats during measurement. The symbol appears if the device detects a pulse rhythm that varies by more than 25% from the average. This is not a diagnostic tool; consult your doctor if the symbol frequently appears.

Can I use the monitor with a pacemaker or during pregnancy?

The monitor is not recommended for use with pacemakers or during pregnancy unless directed by a physician. The oscillometric method may be affected. Consult your doctor before use.

How do I store and clean the device?

Store the monitor and cuff in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth. The cuff can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried before next use.

What should I do if the monitor displays an 'EE' error?

An 'EE' error indicates a measurement error. This can happen if you move during measurement, the cuff is too loose, or the batteries are low. Wait a few minutes, ensure the cuff is properly applied, and try again. If the error persists, replace the batteries.

How many readings does the memory store?

The monitor stores up to 90 readings per user (two users total). You can recall readings by pressing the memory button. All readings are displayed with date and time stamps.

Can I use an AC adapter instead of batteries?

Yes, an optional AC adapter (output 6V DC, 600 mA) can be used. Insert the adapter plug into the DC jack on the monitor. Batteries will automatically disconnect when the adapter is plugged in.

How do I ensure an accurate reading?

Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measurement. Place the cuff on your bare upper arm at heart level. Do not talk or move during measurement. Avoid caffeine, smoking, or exercise 30 minutes prior. Repeat 2-3 times with a 1 minute interval and average the results.

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?

Among the various health problems afflicting people today, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.

About Blood Pressure

Care & Maintenance

Blood Pressure Standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc.

It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

Do not drop the unit. It's not shock proof.
Do not modify or disassemble the unit or the arm cuff.
Use a cloth moistened with water or neutral detergent to clean the body of the unit. Then wipe it dry.
Avoid thinner, benzene and other harsh cleaners.
Keep the unit in a suitable place. Avoid high temperature, direct sunlight, high moisture and dust.
Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for a long time.

Correct Measuring Posture

Measurement Procedures

A. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. (Fig. A.)

Note: The level of your heart is slightly below your armpit.

Fig. A

Relax your entire body, especially the area between your elbow and fingers.

B. If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you can not keep your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your arm. (Fig. B) Do not allow hard objects to come in contact with the wrist cuff.

Fig. B

C. Turn your palm upwards.

D. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.

Note: Avoid leaning back or crossing your legs while the measurement is being taken. (Fig. C)

Fig. C

C. Quick Read Technology detects your blood pressure with the touch of a button, which reduces measurement time significantly and decreases patient discomfort.

Note: It is important to remain still and quiet during measurement. Any significant movement may affect measurement results.

Measurement Procedures

Applying the Cuff

To start the measurement

Note: In order to get your correct measurement result and, to avoid erroneous measurements, you should be seated quietly. Your arm, hand, and fingers should be still during the measurement procedure.

A. Press the "START/STOP" button. The display will initially show a flashing "0".

Start / Stop

Initial Display

B. After the "0" stops blinking, the unit will automatically inflate to the appropriate inflation level based on the user's pulse oscillations. Measurement will then begin.

To apply the cuff

A. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc. prior to attaching the wrist monitor. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up and the cuff should be wrapped on bare skin for correct measurements.
B. Apply cuff to left wrist with palm facing up as Fig. A.
C. Make sure the edge of the cuff is about 1 cm (1/2 an inch) from the palm as Fig. B.
D. In order to insure accurate measurements, fasten the velcro strap securely around your wrist so there is no extra space between the cuff and the wrist.

B. Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
C. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
D. It is important that you relax during measurement. Take a 15-minute rest before a reading.
E. Do not take measurements if you are under stress or feeling tense.
F. Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
G. If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), place it in a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
H. Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement.
