Blood pressure measurements determined with the Health o meter®blood pressure
monitor are equivalent to those using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method
and are within the limits prescribed by the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI). This monitor is to be used by an adult and is intended for in-home use.
Note: Please read this manual carefully before use. For specific information
about your own blood pressure, contact your physician. Please be sure to keep
this manual for future reference.
Product Component Identification:
ComfortRead™ Technology
This monitor uses ComfortRead™ technology to measure your blood pressure.
With the touch of a button, the device will automatically start to inflate and
determine your blood pressure by analysis of your pressure oscillations. When
the measurement is complete, the cuff will release the cuff pressure and display
your systolic, diastolic and pulse readings. Measurement time is significantly
shortened and user comfort is greatly enhanced.

ABOUT
BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the inside of the artery wall while
blood flows through the artery. The pressure measured when the heart
contracts and sends blood out of the heart is the “systolic” reading (higher
number). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing
into the heart is called the “diastolic” (lowest number) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Various health problems associated to high blood pressure are quite common with
people in today’s society. There is a significant correlation of high blood pressure
with cardiovascular disease. This correlation has made measuring one’s blood
pressure a necessity for those individuals identified with high blood pressure,
placing them into a high risk category pertaining to cardiovascular disease.
Also, as a person ages, one’s blood pressure can change over time, thus it makes
good “health sense” to monitor your blood pressure on a regular basis.

Blood Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) 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
blood pressure varies among different people and different age groups, etc.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly.
Your physician can tell you your optimal blood pressure range.
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
Blood pressure will change over the course of the month, week and even
throughout the day. It is also influenced by seasonal and temperature changes.

Installing Batteries
1. Press down and lift the battery cover in the direction of the arrow
to open the battery compartment.
2. Install or replace 4 “AA” 1.5 Volt batteries in the battery compartment
according to the battery direction indicators molded on the inside of
the compartment.

Note: Discard used Alkaline batteries as directed by your local
environmental codes.
HOW TO USE:
Helpful Tips
Here are a few tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• 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 when taking
a measurement.
• It is important that you relax during measurement. Try to take
a15-minute rest before taking 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 a SECOND blood pressure
measurement.

1. Plug the cuff connector tube (A) into the unit.
2. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the “Index” end of the cuff through
the metal D-ring (B) of the cuff.

3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The “OK” range indication should
be positioned at the top with the rubber tube pointing downward in the
direction of your forearm. Position the artery mark [ ] over the
main arteries on the inside of your arm as shown in the figure below.
The tube should be running down the center of your arm.
4. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at
approximately 1 inch above your elbow. Tighten the cuff by pulling the
“Index” end of the cuff. The cuff should be tensioned onto the arm to
allow the insertion of two fingers between the cuff and arm. If the
tension on the cuff is too tight or too loose, it may result in an error “EE”
message on the display.
