GF Health Products, Inc. assumes no responsibility for any
The Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor is intended to measure arterial blood pressure. This device is intended for use by adults, and not for use by children except under the supervision of an adult. This device is not intended to replace regular medical examinations. Review your procedure for using this monitor with your physician, who is the only person qualied to interpret blood pressure monitor results.

BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction of
the arrow.
O P E N
2. Install or replace the four AAA batteries,
oriented as shown by battery compartment diagram, into the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover. Ensure that the
battery cover is securely fastened.
Info: Ensure that the batteries are correctly installed. Incorrect installation will prevent the device from operating.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood Pressure is a measure of the blood’s pressure in the circulatory system, which changes constantly during the course of the cardiac cycle. Blood pressure readings report two values. The higher reading (systolic pressure) shows the highest pressure
Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 5
Page 6
in the arteries occurring when the heart contracts. The lower reading (diastolic pressure) shows the lowest pressure in the arteries, which occurs right before the heart contracts. Blood pressure readings are written with the highest value rst, then the lowest value. Readings of 120/80 are considered to be normal, with high blood pressure being dened as a systolic pressure which is 140mmHg or more at rest and a diastolic pressure which is 90mmHg or more at rest. Only a patient’s physician is qualied to determine whether the readings obtained are normal for that person.
Preparing to measure blood pressure
1. Blood pressure uctuates continuously throughout the day. To
consistently track your blood pressure, try to take your blood pressure at the same time each day.
2. Relax and remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before a blood pressure
measurement, and between blood pressure measurements.
3. Refrain from eating, smoking, and drinking, especially alcoholic
Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 6
Page 7
beverages, before a measurement.
4. Remove any clothing on the upper arm to place the
cuff directly on the skin. Constriction of the upper arm by clothing or a rolled-up sleeve, as shown at right, may cause an inaccurate reading; remove any
excessive
constriction
constricting garments.
5. Sit down in a chair with back support
and place both feet on the oor.
6. Extend the arm from which the blood
pressure will be taken to the front or side. Rest your hand, palm-up, on a table as shown at right.
Info: Place the cuff at the same level as your heart to obtain accurate measurements. Your heart is located slightly to the right of your left armpit.

7. Attach the cuff: Hold the area of the cuff where
the hose exits the cuff rmly against the inside of the bare upper arm directly over the brachial artery, and the bottom of the cuff approximately one inch (2-3cm) above the elbow, as shown in the third picture at right. Never place the cuff over clothing. Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the arm and secure with the hook and loop fastener. The cuff should be snug, but not too tight. If one or two ngers can t between the cuff and the arm, the cuff is properly secured. If you are
1 inch
unable to t the cuff as described above, a smaller or larger cuff should be used.

1. Ensure that cuff is properly placed and that you are positioned as
described in previous paragraphs.
2. Press the ON/OFF button. All LCD symbols will appear
momentarily. If a downward arrow symbol displays, press the exhaust valve button (see earlier labeled picture) located between the ination bulb and the tube to release the residual pressure from the cuff.
Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 9
Page 10
Info:
The low battery symbol will also appear at this time while the
monitor checks the power level. This does not indicate that the batteries are low unless the low battery symbol remains on continuously.
3. After "0" displays, pressurize the cuff by squeezing the bulb until
the pressure value displayed is 50mmHg above your usual systolic pressure. If you do not know your usual systolic pressure, squeeze the bulb just until 200mmHg displays.
4. The cuff will automatically deate after you stop pressurizing the
cuff. If an upward arrow symbol displays, you must inate the cuff to a higher pressure than you did the rst time. If an upward arrow does not display, the monitor is taking your measurement. Remain calm and still to avoid causing any measurement error.
5. The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,

and pulse will display in the format shown at right. The device will completely deate when measurement is nished. To accelerate
deflation, press the exhaust valv

e button.
Page 11
Info: To stop measurement in progress for whatever reason, press the exhaust valve button to release the pressure and turn off the device.
Info: If during measurement the power drops to an insufficient level, the device will end the measurement and display the low battery symbol. Replace the batteries and repeat the measurement.
Info: If the device cannot detect your pulse, it will end the measurement. Wait several minutes, ensure that you and the cuff are positioned properly, and try again.
6. The device will automatically shut off three minutes after
completing a reading, or you may turn it off manually by pressing the ON/OFF button.

7. If performing measurement for the rst time, repeat the
measurement two or more times to ensure that you and cuff are positioned correctly and that results are accurate and consistent. Record your results; there is a log provided, with examples, at the end of this manual for this purpose. Always check with your physician to ensure that readings are performed correctly. If you have concerns or questions about your results, always contact your physician. Only your physician is qualified to analyze
blood pressure.

MAINTENANCE
s NOTICE: To prevent product damage, please follow these
recommended care and maintenance instructions:
Do not drop or pull excessively on monitor components or subject them to strong impact.
Do not use monitor close to any device with a strong electrical eld such as television, microwave oven, X-Ray equipment, etc.
Never inate cuff above 300mmHg. Never inate cuff unless it is positioned on an arm.
Do not expose the monitor components to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity.
Do not put any part of monitor in contact with sharp objects which could pierce the material and cause damage.
Do not dismantle or disassemble monitor components.
Cleaning Wipe off all components with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or other
petroleum-based cleaners. Do not press cuff with a hot iron.
Storage Always deate the cuff completely before storage.
Remove the batteries when the device is to be stored for extended periods of time. Info: Removing the batteries will erase all readings in memory.

• Daily activities / exercise
• Smoking
• Drinking alcoholic beverages
• Eating
• Taking certain medications
