Frequently Asked Questions - KRD 0165 Kardia
How do I place the cuff correctly?
Wrap the cuff around your bare upper arm, about 2-3 cm above the elbow. Ensure the air tube runs down the inside of your arm and that the cuff is at heart level. The cuff should fit snugly but not be too tight. See the cuff placement diagram in the manual for details.
What is the best time to take a measurement?
Take measurements at the same time each day, preferably in the morning before eating or taking medication, and again in the evening. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring. Avoid smoking, caffeine, and exercise for 30 minutes prior, as these can affect the blood pressure.
How do I keep the device clean?
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the monitor and cuff. For the cuff, you may use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Never immerse the monitor or cuff in water, and avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Refer to maintenance in the manual for more details.
Why are my readings different at the doctor's office?
It is common for blood pressure to rise in medical settings due to anxiety, known as white-coat hypertension. At home, your measurements are typically lower. To obtain a more accurate baseline, take multiple measurements in a calm environment and share the log with your doctor.
What does the irregular heartbeat indicator mean?
The irregular heartbeat icon appears when the device detects an abnormal rhythm during measurement. This is not a diagnostic tool; it only indicates that arrhythmia may be present. If this icon appears frequently, consult your physician for a proper evaluation.
How often do I need to replace the batteries?
With normal use (two measurements per day), the batteries may last about 250 measurements. The low battery symbol will appear when replacement is needed. Use four AA batteries and replace all at once, or use a DC 6V adapter for continuous operation.
Can I use this monitor on myself?
Yes, the device is designed for self-measurement. However, it is easier if you follow the instructions carefully. Place the cuff on your left upper arm and position it at heart level. Remain still and silent during the measurement. Practicing a few times will help you become more comfortable.
What should I do if the device gives an error message?
Common error codes indicate a loose cuff, movement, or low battery. Check that the cuff is securely wrapped and the tube is correctly connected. Remain still and repeat the measurement. If the error persists, replace the batteries or consult the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Is the device suitable for people with arrhythmia?
The monitor can detect an irregular heartbeat, but it is not intended for use on individuals with severe arrhythmias or atrial fibrillation. For such conditions, measurements may be inaccurate. Always consult your physician before using an oscillometric blood pressure monitor if you have known heart rhythm disorders.
How can I reset the device or clear memory?
To clear a user's memory, navigate to the user selection (USER1/USER2), press and hold the 'M' (memory) button for about 5 seconds until the memory is deleted. Ensure you do this only if you want to erase all stored readings. Detailed steps are in the memory function section of the manual.
