Recommended Action

Remain still and refrain from talking; measurement in progress.

Press exhaust button to release air.

Increase pressurization by 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg and repeat measurement.

Replace all batteries with new ones.

Exhaust air from cuff, reapply cuff properly, power up again and repeat measurement in quiet environment.

Exhaust air from cuff, reapply cuff properly, power up again and repeat measurement.

Adjust exhaust rate to 2 mmHg to 5 mmHg.

Check for correct air connector. Make sure air connector is inserted correctly into the hoses and monitor.

Condition/ Cause

Appears during measurement; blinks and beeps when pulse is detected.

Appears on display prior to and during measurement. Blinks if there is air in cuff at power up.

Measurement begun, but pressure is not sufficient for reading.

Battery voltage is too low for monitor to work properly.

Appears when blood pressure cannot be measured accurately due to erratic pulse or noise interference.

Appears when pulse cannot be measured accurately.

Occurs when exhaust velocity rate is more than 8 mmHg.

You must install 4 type AA (1.5 volt) batteries and attach the cuff to the monitor before using it. To install batteries (or replace them if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on display), proceed as follows:

1. Remove battery compartment cover

by gently pushing down on arrow and sliding cover forward.

2. Put in top row of batteries first. Place the

batteries in compartment with positive (+) and negative (–) terminals matching those indicated in the compartment. Be sure batteries make contact with compartment terminals.

3. Replace cover by sliding it into

the compartment and gently pressing into place.

BEFORE YOU START

LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” — a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. The cuff is first inflated until the artery is fully occluded. Then, the monitor takes measurements while the cuff deflates. Our monitors examine the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small yields a measurement that is higher. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow.

The air connector is attached to the cuff and inflator bulb tubing. Attach this into the back of the monitor. When changing the cuff size, the exhaust velocity may need to be adjusted (see page 11).
