To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we
recommend that you first consult with your physician or trained health care
professional.
Thank you for purchasing an Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. With
proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of
reliable readings.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Monitor uses is called the
oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the
artery in your wrist and converts the movements into a digital reading. The
oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making the
monitor easy-to-use. The preformed cuff requires little effort to apply and is
comfortable to wear.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the
wrist andblood pressure in thearm. Becausethe arteries inthe wrist and arm are
connected, changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood
pressure. Frequent wrist blood pressure measurements will
provide you and your physician with an accurate indication of change in your
true blood pressure.
People with severe hypertension, severe arteriosclerosis or severe
diabetes should consult their physician about monitoring blood
pressure at the wrist.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to
measurements obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National
Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Introduction
Product Identification and Caution

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 suchas sleep or relaxationdecreases blood
pressure, while anxiety or exercise increases blood pressure.
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, regardless of age, have
been established by the World Health Organization (WHO) as shown in the
chart on the following page.

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressurethat 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 complete series of events which occurs in a single heartbeat is known as
the CARDIAC CYCLE.
Your Digital 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 number and the diastolic
reading will be the lower number.
(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 above.
Both pressure readings, the SYSTOLIC and the 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.
General Blood Pressure Information
6
This chart is only a general guideline. Please contact your physician to determine
your NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure can be influenced by many factors. This change can occur from
moment to moment. Normally, blood pressure is lowest during the sleeping
period and rises during the day. The graph below represents the 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 1p.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 measurements should only be interpreted by a physician or a trained
health care professional who is familiar with your medical history. Through regular
use of this device and recording of your measurements, you can keepyour physician
informed of thechanges in your blood pressure.
2. Perform your measurement in a quiet place. You should be seated in a
relaxed position.
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. Apply the cuff to the proper position on the left wrist. The unit should be located on
the inside of your left wrist with the display panel in view.
7. Keep the monitor stable during measurement to achieve an accurate reading.
Remain still; do not talk during the measurement.
8. Record your daily readings on the chart provided.
9. Take your readings at the same time, each day (or as recommended by your
physician) to get an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.
10. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood vessels to
return to normal. The wait time may vary depending on your individual
physiological characteristics.
11. Although such cases are rare, for those with an extremely weak pulse or irregular
pulse, errors may result which prevent proper measurement. If abnormal variations
are noticed, consult with your physician or trained healthcare professional.
12. This device is intended for adult use.
While taking a measurement, you can stop the inflation or deflation process of the cuff at any
time by pressing the POWER button.

The WHO Indicator, located on the left side of the LCD
screen, will identify your reading within a range in
accordance with the guidelines set by the World Health
Organization (WHO). See the chart below for reference.
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.
