GENERAL
Before using, please read through this user’s manual carefully and then
keep it in a safe place. For further questions on the subject of blood pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.
What is blood pressure?
Blood Pressure is a measurement of the pressure of the blood owing
against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is changing con-
ENGLISH
stantly during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest pressure in the
cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, and the lowest is the diastolic
blood pressure; the both readings are necessary to enable you to evaluate
the status of your blood pressure.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can inuence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning
but high from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer but higher
in the winter.
What is normal blood pressure?
Blood pressure varies from individual to individual and is dependent upon
a number of factors, such as age, weight, physical condition of gender.
The classic normal reading for an adult between the age of 18 and 45
is 120/80mmHg. Remember, only your physician is qualied to determine
whether the readings you obtain are normal for you.
Note: Blood pressure does vary with age, so you must check with your
doctor to nd out what is “normal” for you. Under no circumstances
should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor!
Who blood pressure classication indication
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines/Denitions,
the test results can be classied and evaluated according to the chart on
the on next page.
The indicator displays a segment, based on the current data, corresponding to the WHO classication.
For example, if your blood pressure is 135 mmHg (Systolic Pressure), 78
mmHg (Diastolic Pressure), according to the WHO standard, your blood
pressure level is ‘High normal’.

Note:
• If the systolic blood pressure
and diastolic blood pressure
fall into different categories, the
higher value should be taken for
classication.
• The WHO blood pressure classication indication in the device is only a reminder; it can’t
be regarded as the nal diagnosis.

PRECAUTIONS
• Any strenuous activity immediately before measurement is prohibited.
• Rest 5 to 10 minutes before measuring your blood pressure.
• Always measure the same arm (normally left).
• Do not hold the head of the stethoscope with your thumb.
The thumb has a beat of its own, which may interfere with the reading.
• Do measure your blood pressure the same time each day.
• Record the date and time when measurement was made.
• Talking, eating, drinking or excessive movements are prohibited during
the measurement process.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Connect the cuff, gauge, bulb and valve as
shown in the illustration.
2. Fitting the Cuff: The user should be in a warm
environment. Tight or restrictive clothing should
be removed from the arm.
Sit down at a table or desk where you can easily
rest your arm. Wrap the cuff around the uncovered arm so the middle of the cuff is over the
brachial artery pulse. Position the cuff approximately 2-3cm (0.8in-1.2in) above the elbow.
Most cuffs have Velcro, making it easy to keep the cuff in place. Make
sure the cuff is snug, and not be too tight. Two ngers should be easily
put in between the cuff and arm. The cuff should be at about the same
level as your heart. If someone else is taking your blood pressure, you
may recline.
3. Gently place the stethoscope’s ear pieces in your ears.
ENGLISH
4. Place the head of the stethoscope just below (2.5-8cm or 1.0-3.2in) the
armpit, near the inside middle part of the arm. It must not be pressed too
rmly or touch the cuff, or the diastolic pressure may be underestimated.
5. Pump the bulb slowly but steadily until the
pressure reaches about 30 mmHg above
your usual systolic pressure.
If you have never measured your blood
pressure, please inate the pressure to 180
mmHg.
0476
Note: You should not keep the cuff inated any longer than necessary.
6. Stop inating and then adjust the valve so as
to get the pressure drop slowly and steadily
at about 2-3 mmHg per second. Listen and
watch the dial plate carefully during deation,
the point at which repetitive, clear tapping
sounds rst appear for at least two consecutive beats gives the systolic blood pressure.
The point where the repetitive sounds nally
disappear gives the diastolic blood pressure.
7. After you get the diastolic pressure, push or
adjust the deation valve to the bottom for
rapid deation. Remove the cuff from arm
and stethoscope from ears.
8. Record your readings and the time of the day measurement is made
immediately after you nish measuring. Repeat the measurement two
or more times. A convenient time is the rst thing in the morning,
or just before evening meals. Remember that your physician
is the only person qualied to analyze your blood pressure.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If problems occur when using the device, the following points should be
checked and if necessary, the corresponding measures are to be taken.
Problem Solution
The sound transmission
is poor, distorted or there
is extraneous noise.
The pressure does not
rise although the bulb
is pumping.
The deation rate cannot
be set to 2-3 mmHg/
sec. by adjusting the air
release valve.
1. Check the earpieces if they are plugged or
cracked.
If not, make sure they do not t poorly as worn.
2. Check the tube whether it is broken or twisted.
3. Check the bell and diaphragm of chestpiece
whether there is any crack.
1. Make sure that the valve is closed.
2. Make sure the cuff is properly connected to
bulb and manometer.
3. Check whether the cuff, tube or bulb is leaky.
Replace the defective parts if any.
Disassemble the valve from bulb to check if there
is any blockage in the airway of the valve. Clean
the blockage and try again. If it still does not
work, replace it to avoid inaccurate reading.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
With proper care and maintenance, your blood pressure kit will provide years
of satisfactory service. The basic rules:
• Do not strike or drop.
• Never inate over 300mmHg.
• Never expose the product to intensive solar radiation directly.
• Never touch the cuff fabric or parts with a sharp instrument, since this could
cause damage.
• Always deate cuff completely before storage.
• Do not dismantle manometer under any circumstances.
• Store all instrument in storage case provided to keep the chestpiece and all
the other parts clean.
• Storage temperature condition: -20°C to 70°C at relative air humidity of 85%
(non-condensing).
• Wipe off the manometer and bulb with a damp cloth.
Sterilization is not necessary, since the parts do not come into direct contact
with the patient’s body.
• Remove the bladder rst, and wipe the velcro, bladder and tubes with a
damp cloth. The cuff can be washed with soap and cold water like all the
other cuffs, but you must rinse the cuffs with clear water afterwards and let
them air dry.
