Toachievethe maximum benefit from your bloodpressure monitor, we recommend that you firstconsult
with your physician or trained healthcareprofessional.
Thank you forpurchasinga Semi-Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor.With proper care and
use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.
The method of measurementthat your Semi-AutomaticMonitor uses iscalled the oscillometric
method.The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in yourarm and
converts the movements into a digital reading.The oscillometric method does not require a
stethoscope, making the monitor easy to use.
Blood pressure readings determinedwith thisdeviceare equivalentto measurements obtained by a
trainedobserverusing the cuff/stethoscopeauscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the
AmericanNationalStandard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure that is exerted by blood flowing against the walls of the blood vessels
throughout your body.
Your heart, which is the center of the circulatory system, provides the force for the blood to flow or
circulate.When your heart contracts or“beats”,the blood is forced through the blood vessels increasing
the pressure. This is the highest pressure in the cycle or what is referred to as SYSTOLIC blood
pressure. In between beats, your heart relaxes and your blood pressure decreases.This is referred to as
DIASTOLIC blood pressure.
This completeseries of events, which occurs in a single heartbeat, is knownas the CARDIAC CYCLE.
Your Semi-Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor will automatically read your blood pressure and display
both systolic and diastolic readings on the screen. Your systolic will be positioned as the upper
numberand the diastolicreadingwill be thelowernumber.
(systolic) 120
/80 (diastolic)
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters (mm) of mercury (Hg) and is generally recorded with the
systolic pressure (120) listed first and the diastolic pressure (80) listed second. The numbers are
typically separated by a slash mark (/) as shown.
Both pressure readings, the SYSTOLIC and DIASTOLIC, are necessary for a physician to evaluate the
status of a patient’s blood pressure.
Please contact your physician for specific information regarding your own blood pressure.
What Influences Blood Pressure?
Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety, muscular development,
certain medications or even the time of day can influence blood pressure. Influences such as sleep
or relaxation decrease blood pressure, while anxiety or exercise increase blood pressure.

General Blood Pressure Information
Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is influenced by many factors and can change from moment to moment. Normally,
blood pressure is lowest during sleeping periods and rises during the day. The graph below
represents variations in blood pressure shown over a day with measurements taken every 5
minutes.
The dotted line represents the sleep
period. The rise in blood pressure at 1
p.m. (A in the graph) corresponds to a
stressful occurrence and at 7 p.m. (B in
the graph) a period of exercise.
1. Blood pressure readings should be interpreted by a physician or trained healthcare
professional, who is familiar with your medical history.
2. Perform your measurement in a quiet place. You should be seated and relaxed.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30
minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are exhibiting signs of stress, avoid taking your
measurement until the feeling subsides.
4. Rest 15 minutes prior to taking a reading.
5. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with the cuff placement.
6. Keep the monitor stable during measurements. Remain still; do not talk during
measurements.
7. Record your daily readings on the chart provided.
8. Take your readings at the same time, each day (or as recommended by your physician).
9. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings. The wait time may vary depending on
individual physiological characteristics.
10. This device is intended for adult use.
11. The inflation or deflation process can be stopped by pressing the Release button.

Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?
A visit to a physician’s office can be a stressful situation for a patient. Anxiety is a known factor in
raising blood pressure. This temporary occurrence of elevated blood pressure at the physician’s
office is commonly referred to as “white coat syndrome”.
Whether or not you experience “white coat syndrome”, home blood pressure monitoring provides
you with the opportunity to supplement your physician’s office measurements. These home
readings, when taken over a period of time, can show an accurate indication of change.
Furthermore, your records can assist your physician in evaluating your health and in making
important decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of your condition. Because of this, it is
important to take consistent, daily measurements of your blood pressure.
The variations in your individual readings should only be interpreted by your physician or a trained
health care professional.
WHO Blood Pressure Classifications
Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure have been established by the World Health
Organization (WHO) as shown on the following chart:
This chart is only a general guideline.
Contact your physician or trained healthcare professional to
determine your NORMAL blood pressure.

Irregular Heartbeat Detection
Your digital blood pressure monitor features Irregular
Heartbeat Detection. This feature allows users to accurately
monitor blood pressure even if an irregular heartbeat should
occur.
When an irregular heartbeat is detected, the IHB icon will
appear on the display, Fig. 1.
NOTE: Please consult with your physician or trained healthcare
professional for further information regarding an irregular
heartbeat if this symbol appears frequently at the end of a
reading.
Fig. 1
NOTE: When the unit is off, the date and time will still appear at the
top of the screen.
1. When the unit is off, press and release both the POWER and
MEMORY button at the same time. The month will begin to flash,
Fig. 1.
2. Press the MEMORY button to change until the desired
number appears.
NOTE: To scroll through the numbers quicker, hold down the
MEMORY button.
3. Press the POWER button to set the entry.
4. The date, Fig. 2, followed by the hour and minutes will blink.
