Using The Monitor

Applying The Arm Cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1-2 cm above the inside of the elbow, as shown.

Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse, and result in a measurement error.

1. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by tightly rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings.
2. Confirm that the index ▲ points within the proper fit range.

How To Take Proper Measurements

For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:

Sit comfortably on a chair. Rest your arm on the table. Do not cross your legs. Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back.
☐ Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
☐ Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
□ Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
☐ Do not measure immediately after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
☐ Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.

Measurement

During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be alarmed)

After Measurement

After measurement, press the START button to turn off the power. Remove the cuff and record your data.

Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the power off approximately one minute after measurement.

Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same person.

Measurements

Model UA-767Plus BT-C is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the cuff to a systolic pressure level automatically.

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg or you use the optional small cuff, read "Measurement with the desired systolic pressure" on the next page.

Normal Measurement

1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm). Sit quietly during measurement.
2. Press the START button.

The last data of systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate are displayed briefly. Then 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, as in the figure at the right, during inflation.

Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the START button again.

1. When inflation is complete, deflation starts automatically and the ♥ (heart mark) 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.

1. When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed. The cuff exhausts the remaining air and deflates completely.
2. Press the START button again to turn off the power.

Note: Model UA-767 Plus BT-C is provided with an automatic power shut-off function. Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same person.

Measurements

Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg or you use the optional small cuff, use this procedure.

1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
2. Press and hold the START button until a number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure appears.
3. Release the START button to start measurement, when the desired number is reached. Then continue to measure your blood pressure as described on the previous page.

At heart level

Press and hold the button

Release the button at the desired systolic pressure

Refer to the previous page for measurement

Notes For Proper Measurement

☐ Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.
☐ Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
☐ This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your blood pressure.
☐ Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the measurement and display an error symbol. See page 5 for the description of symbols.
☐ This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use this device unattended.

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat

Model UA-762us BT-C blood pressure monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is important that you be relaxed, remain still and do not talk during measurements.

Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this (♡) indicator frequently.

Pressure Bar Indicator

The indicator monitors the progress of pressure during measurement.

Transmitting Data To A Continua Manager

Measurement results will be automatically transmitted to the paired Manager at each measurement. In the case of unsuccessful transmission, the device stores the last 25 measurements in memory. The device will send all of the data at the next successful connection and clear memory.

About Blood Pressure

What Is 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). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.

What Is Hypertension And How Is It Controlled?

Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended, can cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack. Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with medication under a doctor's supervision.

To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:

☐ Do not smoke Exercise regularly
☐ Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups
□ Maintain proper weight

Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home?

Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.

WHO Blood Pressure Classification

Standards to assess high blood pressure, without regard to age, have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart.

Blood Pressure Variations

An individual's blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis. It may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In hypertensive individuals' variations are even more pronounced. Normally, the blood pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep. So, do not be overly concerned by the results of one measurement.

Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure

Reference Material: Journal of Hypertension 1999, Vol 17 No.2

described in this manual to get to know your normal blood pressure. Regular readings give a more comprehensive blood pressure history. Be sure to note date and time when recording your blood pressure. Consult your doctor to interpret your blood pressure data.
