A&D blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the "oscillometric method" - a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term "oscillation" refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the aterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the aterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.

The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation speed is maximized and the pressure level is optimized by the device. The monitor takes measurements while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in a faster measurement providing greater comfort to the user.

BEFORE YOU START

You must install 4 type A (1.5 volt) batteries (alkaline batteries recommended), or use the AC Adapter (see page E-20 for using the Monitor with AC Adapter) and attach the cuff to the monitor before using it. To install batteries (or replace them if the "Low Battery" symbol appears on display), proceed as follows:

1. Remove battery compartment cover by gently pushing down on arrow and sliding cover forward.

2. Put in bottom row of batteries first. Place the batteries in compartment with positive (+) and negative (-) terminals matching those indicated in the compartment. Be sure batteries make contact with compartment terminals.

3. Replace cover by sliding it into the compartment and gently pressing into place.

NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use with this monitor.

NOTE: Please dispose of batteries following local regulations.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE

ADJUSTING THE CLOCK

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow.

ARM SIZE	CUFF NAME	BRAND	REPLACEMENT CUFF MODEL#
6.3" - 9.4" (16 - 24 cm)	SlimFitTM Small Cuff	A&D MEDICAL	UA-289
9.0" - 14.6" (23 - 37 cm)	SlimFitTM Medium Cuff	A&D MEDICAL	UA-290
12.2" - 17.7" (31 - 45 cm)	SlimFitTM Large Cuff	A&D MEDICAL	UA-291
9.0" - 14.6" (23 - 37 cm)	SmoothFitTM Cuff	A&D MEDICAL	UA-392

Using the right sized cuff is essential to an accurate measurement. Our unique cuff is designed to accommodate a wide range of arm sizes, from 9 - 14.6" (23 - 37 cm). The SlimFit™ cuff is contoured to provide you with a quick and comfortable fit. Just slide the cuff onto your upper arm and secure - it's that simple! For more detail, please read the section Taking Your Blood Pressure (see pg. E-12).

If your arm circumference is greater than 14.6" (37 cm) or smaller than 9" (23 cm), you will need to purchase a different size cuff than the one that is included in this box. Please call A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada please call 1-800-461-0991) for more information on our alternate cuff sizes.

Do not talk during measurement.
Do not cross legs and keep your feet flat on floor during measurement.

NOW YOU ARE READY. FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:

1. Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface so that the center of your upper arm is at the same height as your heart.

1. Lay left arm on the table, palm up and wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 0.5" (1-2 cm) above the inside of the elbow, as shown, Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing my cause a faint pulse, and result in a measurement error.

1. Make sure cuff is aligned at heart level

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT USING TRICHECK

1. Press the START button. All of the display segments are displayed. Zero (0) is displayed blinking briefly. The display changes, as indicated in the figure at the right, as the measurement begins. The cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. A pressure bar indicator is displayed, on the left edge of the display, during the inflation.
   Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the button again.
2. When inflation is complete, deflation starts automatically and ♥ blinks, indicating that the measurement is in progress. Once the pulse is detected, the mark blinks with each pulse beat.
   Note: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device starts to inflate again automatically. To avoid re-inflation, see "Measurement with the SET Pressure" on the next page.
3. When the measurement is complete, the systol and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed. The device announces the measurement results. The cuff exhausts the remaining air and deflates completely.
4. Press the START button to turn the device off. After one minute of non-operation, the device will turn off automatically.
5. The reading is then stored into memory. See page E-18 for more details about the memory function.
6. Remove cuff and make a note of blood pressure and pulse rate on the chart in the back of this manual, indicating date and time of measurement. Additional logbook charts can be downloaded and printed for free at www.andmedical.com or in Canada at www.autocontrol.com. We advise that you record the date and time after each measurement because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings, but on a pattern over time.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

WHAT AFFECTS BLOOD PRESSURE?

Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season. Certain activities can significantly alter one's blood pressure. Walking will likely raise an individual's blood pressure. Sleeping will likely decrease blood pressure. Not relaxing for several moments before measurements can influence readings as well.

In addition to these factors, beverages containing caffeine or alcohol, certain medications, emotional stress and even tight-fitting clothes can make a difference in the readings.

WHAT CAUSES VARIATIONS IN BLOOD PRESSURE?

An individual's blood pressure varies greatly from day to day and season to season. For hypersensitive individuals, these variations are even more pronounced. Normally, blood pressure rises during work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep.

Fluctuation within a day (case: 35 year old male)

ASSESSING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE FOR ADULTS

The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender) have been established as a guideline. Please note that other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) need to be taken into consideration and may affect these figures. Consult with your physician for an accurate assessment.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings consistently rise above normal. It is well known that hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early.

CAN HYPERTENSION BE CONTROLLED?

In many individuals, hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle and minimizing stress, and by appropriate medication prescribed and monitored by your doctor. The American Heart Association recommends the following lifestyle suggestions to prevent or control hypertension:

• Don't smoke. Have regular
  ■ Reduce salt and fat intake. physical checkups.
  ■ Maintain proper weight. Monitor yo■ blood
  ■ Exercise routinely. pressure at periodic intervals.

WHY MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE AT HOME?

It is now well known that, for many individuals, blood pressure readings taken in a doctor's office or hospital setting might be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is commonly called "white coat hypertension."

In any case, self-measurement at home supplements your doctor's readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history. In addition, clinical studies have shown that the detection and treatment of hypertension is improved when patients both consult their physicians and monitor their own blood pressure at home.

ANSWERS TO WHY YOUR READINGS ARE DIFFERENT BETWEEN HOME AND AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

Why are my readings different between home and at a doctor's office?

Your blood pressure readings taken in a doctor's office or hospital setting may be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is known as white coat hypertension.

When I bring my monitor to a doctor's office, why do I get a different measurement from my monitor to that taken by a doctor or nurse?

The healthcare professional may be using a different sized cuff. The size of the bladder inside the cuff is critical for the accuracy of the measurement. This may give you a different reading. A cuff too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. There may also be other factors that can cause the difference in measurements.

KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL MONITORING:

Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day. We recommend that you are consistent in your daily measurement routine:

• Measure at the same time every day.
- Sit in the same chair/position.
- Do not cross legs and keep your feet flat on the floor.
- Relax for several minutes before measurement.
- Use the correct cuff size to get an accurate reading.
- Sit still during measurement – no talking, eating or sudden movements.
• Record your measurement in a logbook.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE TROUBLESHOOTING

ESTABLISHING BASELINE MEASUREMENTS

The most important method to get an accurate blood pressure measurement is consistency. To get the most benefit out of your monitor, it is important to establish a “baseline measurement.” This helps build a foundation of measurements that you can use to compare against future readings. To build this baseline measurement, devote two weeks for consistent blood pressure monitoring. This involves doing everything the same way when you measure (e.g. measuring during the same time of day, in the same location, sitting in the same chair, using the same cuff, etc.). Once you establish your baseline measurement, you can start evaluating if your measurement has been affected based on things like lifestyle changes or medication treatment.

Blood pressure readings are typically recorded with the systolic pressure written first, followed by a slash mark and the diastolic pressure. For example, 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic measurements are written as 120/80. Pulse is simply written with the letter "P" followed by the pulse rate—P 72, for example. Please see the back of the manual for the blood pressure tracking record.
