LUTEA ARM TYPE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR

This fully automatic instrument is used for the non-invasive measuring and checking of arterial pressure values (systolic and diastolic) and heartbeat frequency. Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood on the arteries. This force varies constantly depending on heartbeat. When the heart contracts, blood pressure is at its highest (systolic blood pressure value) whilst at the end of the heart's "relaxation period", the value is at its lowest (diastolic blood pressure value). Blood pressure is influenced by many factors: smoke, stress, physical activity, eating, the time of day... Accurate and easy to use, this device enables even the elderly and less expert to measure blood pressure in the comfort of their own home; its quick and reliable results enabling pressure values to be checked daily. BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE DEVICE, PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY FROM COVER TO COVER AND KEEP IT SAFE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• Use only as described in this manual.
• Self-measuring means checking, and is no substitute for diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values should always be discussed with your doctor. Under no circumstances should doses of any medicine prescribed by your doctor be altered.
• The heartbeat display is not suitable for checking the frequency of pacemakers!

- Should there be a deviation from the normal rhythm of the heart (arrhythmia) or other cardiac problems, for carriers of pacemaker, for those who use anticoagulants, for women in state of pregnancy, the measurements made with this device should be evaluated only after consulting your doctor. In such cases compare the results with the doctor in order to verify their correctness.

- In case of heavy arteriosclerosis and other circulation problems or spasms in the upper limbs the reading could result incorrect.

- This device cannot be used within the area interested by radiations of Computerized Axial Tomography (TAC), X rays and Magnetic Resonance (RMN).

- If there is reduced blood circulation in the arm due to acute or chronic vascular diseases (including the restriction of the diameter of the blood vessels), the precision of the measurement could be affected.

- In the case of cardio circulatory illnesses, the measurement could be falsified; the same could happen with very low blood pressure, problems with blood supply, arrhythmia or other pre-pathological conditions.

- Do not use near to strong magnetic fields. It must be kept well away from radio equipment or mobile phones.

- Do not drop the unit.

- Do not modify or disassemble the unit or the arm cuff.

- Do not twist the arm cuff.

- Use a cloth moistened with water or neutral detergent to clean to clean the body of the unit and 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.

- Do not pres the POWER button if the cuff has not been properly wrapped around the arm.

- Pressure varies from person to person, and increases or decreases every day, depending on the stress the heart is subjected to. Normally pressure is low during the night, during sleep or during relaxation, and it is higher during the day, when we smoke, during physical

exercise, under effort, when we are anxious or tense. Blood pressure tends to increase with age and depends greatly on the individual way of life. It is well known that stress, obesity, excessive intake of salt and alcohol all contribute to increase arterial pressure.

- This unit is only for home use. Keep the unit and the batteries out of the reach of children.

USING THIS PRODUCT

Before Use

Installing / Replacing Batteries

1-Insert the batteries into the battery compartment matching correct polarities "+" and "-"

2- Replace all batteries if the low battery indicator appears.

3-Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for a long period of time.

Note: It is recommended that the same type of alkaline batteries be used to avoid incompatibility.

Attaching the Pressure Cuff

1-Wrap the cuff around bareskinned left arm.

2-Fasten the cuff. Make sure it is not too tight. The cuff's lower edge should be approximately one inch from the crook of the arm.

2~3 cm

1. If it is not possible to measure on the left arm. Attach the cuff on the right arm as shown in the figure.

2~3 cm

Measuring Posture

1- Sit upright and ensure that the measuring site is at heart level. Relax and measure in a natural position.

• Clean the contacts of the batteries with a dry cloth

2) Nothing appears on the display when the MEMORY key is pressed.

- The stored data have been deleted.

3) The batteries do not last long.

- Use alkaline batteries to increase working autonomy. If normal zinccarbon batteries are used they will need changing more often.

4) You cannot complete a reading.
- Check the batteries and change them if needed.
5) The blood pressure levels are different with each reading - the readings are very low or very high.

• The measuring position is not correct
- The blood pressure readings vary constantly depending on the time of day and the state of nerves of the person. Read the paragraphs "Warnings" again.

6) The heart beat readings are too high or too low:

- The person moved while the reading was being taken.
