4.1 What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

4.2 Why measure your blood pressure?

Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressures a necessity of identifying those at risk.

4.3 Blood pressure standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program has developed a Blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard however, is a general guideline as individual's blood pressure varies among different people and different groups...etc. The WHO classification indicator on your BPM Arm 5500 XLD will indicate the blood pressure class together with the result. To avoid inaccurate results caused by electromagnetic interference between electrical and electronic equipments, do not use the device near a cell phone or microwave oven.

ENGLISH TOPCOM BPM Arm 5500 XLD It is important that you consult your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

4.4 Blood pressure fluctuation

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! You should not be worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels. Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day depending on circumstances (state of mind, temperature, ...) 5 Battery installation

• Open the battery compartment by pulling the cover away on the bottom of the unit.

• Insert 4 AA non - rechargeable batteries. Follow the polarity as indicated in the battery compartment. Blood pressure classification Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg) Color indication Stage 3 Hypertension >180 >110 Red Stage 2 Hypertension 160-179 100-109 Orange Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 90-99 Yellow High - Normal 130-139 85-89 Green Normal 120-129 80-84 Green Optimal <120 <80 Green

Do not short-circuit & dispose of in fire. Remove the battery if this device is not going to be used for a long period. When the batteries are low, is displayed. Low batteries must be replaced.

TOPCOM BPM Arm 5500 XLD 6 Power adapter The BPM Arm 5500 XLD can operate on batteries or on the enclosed adapter (DC 6V).

• Connect the power adapter jack with the power adapter connector on the right side of the unit .

• Plug the power adapter into the wall socket.

5. Diastolic pressure

1. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc. prior to

attaching the cuff. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up.

2. Press your brachial artery by two fingers

approximately 2,5 cm above the elbow on the inside of your left arm to determine where your strongest pulse is.

3. Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the

tube through the metal ring to a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff. The Velcro will be on the outside of the cuff.

4. Put the left arm through the cuff loop. The

bottom of the cuff should be approx. 1,5 cm above the elbow. The cuff tube should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.

5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom

edges are tightened around your arm.

6. When the cuff is positioned properly, press

the Velcro firmly against the pile side of the cuff. The metal ring will not touch your skin.

7. Relax your entire body, especially the area

between your elbow and fingers. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Avoid leaning back while the measurements being taken. FP9 ENGLISH TOPCOM BPM Arm 5500 XLD 9 Measurement

• This monitor automatically switches off 1 minute after the last key operation.

• To interrupt the measurement, simply press any key. The cuff will deflate immediately after a key is pressed.

• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring.

• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.

• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.

• It is important that you relax during measurement. Try to take 15-minutes rest before a reading.

• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension.

• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.

• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.

• Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement.

• During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.

• Press the start/stop button to activate the device. All segments will be displayed.

• Once the actual Memory zone is displayed (U1-3), press the memory button to select the desired memory zone.

• If no button is pressed within 5 seconds, the measurement will start automatically.

• The display will show the last measurement result before inflating the cuff to the level that is right for you.

• When the right level is reached, the cuff will deflate. This monitor will re-inflate automatically to approximately 220mmHg if the system detects that your body needs more pressure to measure your blood pressure.

• When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen.

• The blood pressure classification indicator will be displayed.

• When an irregular heartbeat is detected, ‘ ’ is displayed.

• When a mistake was detected during measurement an error ‘Er’ message is displayed (see “11 Troubleshoot” ).
