ON/OFF Start Cuff tubule socket infl ate to measure tested one pulse (appears during testing) defl ate to measure (defl ate air in cuff) low battery LCD Cuff Rubber tubule Systolic Diastolic Pulse 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.

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.3

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 fl at 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 fi nger 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

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.

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 fi rst 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.5

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 fi gures. Consult with your physician for accurate assessment. Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg) Normal BP High-normal BP Mild Hypertension Mederate Hypertension Severe Hypertension6 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Physical activity excitement, stress, eating, drinking, smoking and many other activities and factors (including taking a blood pressure measurement) all infl uence blood pressure value. Because of this it is most unusual to obtain identical multiple blood pressure readings. Blood pressure fl uctuates 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. Declaration of conformity We, Nedis B.V.
