ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?

Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health have developed a blood pressure standard that identifies areas of lowand high-risk blood pressure. This standard, however, is a general guideline as an individual’s blood pressure varies among different people, age groups, etc.

Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults

	Systolic (mmHg)	Diastolic (mmHg)

Stage 2 Hypertension	>160	>100
Stage 1 Hypertension	140~159	90~99
Prehypertension	120~139	80~89
Normal	<120	<80

For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood pressure, are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not have other conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease.

To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.

There is an exception to the above definition of high blood pressure for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high blood pressure for those individuals.

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Indicator to visually indicate the assumed risk level of each reading based upon these standards. See page 20 for more information on this feature.

It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure, keeping long-term records is recommended.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE

MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses Smart Measure™ Technology to detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Smart Measure™ Technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level for each individual. Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.

Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's Risk Category Indicator will alert you if your reading falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or stage 2 hypertension categories. See page 20 for more information on the Risk Category Indicator.

3.Open the arm cuff so that your arm may be placed through it.

4.Remove tight fitting clothing from around your upper left arm.

5.Position cuff edge 0.8-1.2 inches (2-3cm) above elbow.

6.Center tube over middle of arm.

7.Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens evenly around your arm. Press the hook

and loop material together to secure. Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and your arm.

8.Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.

Note:

If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should be made using the same arm. To use on the right arm, you must position the artery symbol “” over the main artery. Locate the main artery by pressing with two fingers approximately

1" (2 cm) above the bend

of your elbow on the inside of your right arm.

Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest.

This is your main artery.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:

•Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.

•Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking

to measure blood pressure.

•Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.

•During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.

•See page 25 for additional notes regarding your blood pressure measurement.

If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first time, please remove the protective film from the screen.

1.Press the User Select Button to choose User 1, User 2, or User 3.

After the user number is selected, press the START/STOP button to confirm the chosen user.

2.With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press the START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless it is wrapped around your arm. All digits will light up to check the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed after about 3 seconds.

START

STOP

3.After all symbols disappear, the display will show “00”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will

automatically inflate the cuff to start measurement.

4.Once your systolic pressure is determined, the monitor will begin deflating to measure your diastolic pressure.

Note: This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system detects that your body requires more pressure for measurement.

5.When the measurement is completed, the cuff will deflate entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into memory.

Note:

1.This monitor automatically turns off approximately 1 minute after last operation. You may also press the START/STOP button to turn the unit off.

2.To interrupt the measurement, you may press the

START/STOP (recommended) “MEM”, User Select or Date/Time Set buttons. The cuff will deflate immediately after a button is pressed.

RISK CATEGORY INDICATOR

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health have developed a blood pressure standard classifying blood pressure ranges into 4 stages. This unit is equipped with an innovative blood pressure classification indicator, which visually indicates the assumed risk level (normal, prehypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or stage 2 hypertension) of each reading. Symbols are described below and classifications follow the guidelines as described earlier in this manual (page 5).
