Frequently Asked Questions - HCBLDPRESS20 KONIG

How to insert the batteries into the Konig HCBLDPRESS20 blood pressure monitor?

Open the battery cover on the back of the device. Insert two AAA alkaline batteries respecting the + and - polarities. Close the cover. Do not use rechargeable batteries as they are not suitable.

How to connect the cuff to the blood pressure monitor?

Plug the rubber tube of the cuff into the socket on the blood pressure monitor. Ensure the connection is fully inserted to prevent air leaks.

How to place the cuff correctly?

Place the cuff around a bare arm, 1/2 to 3/4 inch above the elbow. The rubber tube should hang toward your hand. The cuff should be neither too tight nor too loose (you should be able to slip one finger between the cuff and your arm).

What is the correct position to take blood pressure?

Sit upright, arm resting on a table, palm facing up, with the cuff at the same level as your heart. You can also lie on your back, arm along your body, palm facing up.

What to do if the screen shows the battery icon?

Replace the batteries with new alkaline batteries. The icon indicates that the batteries are low and measurements may be inaccurate.

How to take a measurement with this blood pressure monitor?

After installing the batteries and cuff, press the ON/OFF button until the screen lights up. The screen will display zeros. Press the START button. The cuff will inflate then deflate, and the measurements will display automatically (systolic, diastolic, pulse).

Why are the measurements not identical?

Blood pressure naturally varies with activity, stress, time of day, etc. It's normal to get different results. Always measure at about the same time each day and wait 3 to 5 minutes between measurements.

How to clean the blood pressure monitor and cuff?

Clean the device with a dry cloth. For the cuff, remove it from the monitor, hand wash with mild detergent, rinse with cold water and air dry. Do not put it in the dryer or iron it.

Is this blood pressure monitor suitable for children?

No, this blood pressure monitor is for adults. Consult a doctor before using it on older children. Never use it on infants or young children.

What to do in case of malfunction?

Disconnect the device and remove the batteries. Do not open it yourself. Have it repaired only by a qualified authorized technician. Do not expose the device to water or moisture.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Using Oscillometric methodology and silicon integrated pressure sensor technology; blood pressure and heart rate are measured automatically and non-invasively. The LCD display visually shows blood pressure and heart pulse rate measurements.

This blood pressure monitor is designed for use with adults and should never be used with infants or young children, Consult your physician or other health care professional before use with older children.

SETUP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. BATTERY LOADING

a. Open the battery cover on the back of the monitor
b. Insert four "AA" size batteries taking care that the "+" and "-" ends of batteries are inserted correctly.
c. Close the battery cover
d. When the LCD display shows a battery signal, the batteries must be replaced for accurate readings.
e. Do not use rechargeable batteries because the are not suitable for this product and will cause inaccurate readings.
f. Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for a month or more. This will avoid damage from leaking batteries.

2. CUFF CONNECTION TO THE MONITOR

Connect the cuff to the monitor by placing the rubber tube plug into the cuff socket on the monitor. Make sure that the plug is completely inserted so that there will be no air leakage during blood pressure measurements.

3. CUFF WRAPPING ON YOUR ARM

a. Place the cuff around a bare arm 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch above the elbow joint
b. While seated, place the hand of the cuffed arm, palm up, in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or table with the rubber tube running down the center of your arm toward your hand.
c. The cuff must be neither too tight nor too loose. You should be able to place one finger between the cuff and your wrist.
d. Measure using the same arm each time.
e. Do not move your arms, body, or the monitor during blood pressure measurements.
f. Stay quiet, calm and rest for 5 minutes before and during blood pressure measurement.
g. If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor and wash it by hand in a mild detergent, then rinse it thoroughly in cold water. Allow the cuff to dry before using for a blood pressure measurement. Never dry the cuff in a clothes dryer and never iron the cuff.

4. BODY POSTURE DURING MEASUREMENT

Sitting Measurement

a. Sit upright
b. Place the arm with the cuff in front of you on a desk or table with the palm up.
c. The cuff should be at the same level as your heart.

Lying Down Measurement

a. Lie on your back
b. Place your arm straight along your side with your palm up.
c. The cuff should be at the same level as your heart

5. TAKING A MEASUREMENT

a. With the cuff wrapped around your arm and your body in a comfortable position, press and hold the button "ON/OFF" until the LCD display is activated. The display will first verify then it will set to read all zeros.

b. Once the LCD display reads all zeros, press and release the button "START". The monitor will then pump up the cuff, then release the air pressure from the cuff and then display the blood pressure and pulse rate measurements on the LCD display.

6. READING MEASUREMENT RESULTS

The LCD display will automatically show the systolic and diastolic blood pressure reading in mmHg units after each measurement. The heart rate is also displayed in pulse per minute next to the symbol.

7. TURNING THE MONITOR POWER OFF

The monitor power will turn-off automatically after 3 minutes of non-use after measurement displaying. Alternatively, you can press and release the button "ON/OFF" to manually turn off the monitor.

8. 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 guide by the World Health Organization (WHO). 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 accurate assessment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Physical activity excitement, stress, eating, drinking, smoking and many other activities and factors (including taking a blood pressure measurement) all influence blood pressure value. Because of this it is most unusual to obtain identical multiple blood pressure readings.

Blood pressure fluctuates continually during the day and night with the highest values usually in the daytime and lowest values usually in the evening.

Considering the above information, the way to collect day-to-day blood pressure measurements that can be meaningfully compared is to measure your blood pressure at approximately the same time or times each day.

When re-measuring blood pressure, always wait a minimum of 3 to 5 minutes between measurements to allow the blood circulation in your arm to recover. Remember, it is normal and it is expected that you will not obtain identical multiple blood pressure readings.
