Congratulations on your purchase of the new Lumiscope model 1134. This fully-automatic, blood pressure monitor is both easy-to-use and ideally suited for daily measurements. The large display includes systolic blood pressure reading, diastolic blood pressure reading and the pulse rate, all clearly shown at the completion of each reading.
You can store up to 99 measurements in each of the unit's 4 memory zones, ideal for users who want to monitor and track their blood pressure on a regular basis. The 1134 is compact and portable, making it perfect for home use and travel.
Blood pressure measurements determined with your 1134 are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Please read this manual carefully before use. For specific information on your own blood pressure, contact your physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.

How the 1134 Works About Blood Pressure
Your model 1134 uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure, which is equivalent to the air pressure. The measurement of your blood pressure is based on this baseline pressure. After the cuff inflates to block your blood in the artery, the deflation process starts. During the deflation of the cuff, the monitor is detecting the pressure oscillations generated by the beat-to-beat pulsatile. Any muscle
movement during this period of time will cause measurement error. After detecting the amplitude and
the slope of the pressure oscillations during the deflation process, your 1134 will determine the systolic and diastolic pressures for you; and your pulse rate is detected at the same time.
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube 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 the various health problems afflicting people today, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.

Installing the Batteries
Correct Measuring Posture
1. To insert the batteries
A. Press down on the latch and lift the cover towards you
to open the battery compartment.
B. Insert 4 "AA" batteries as indicated. Make sure to match
polarities (+, –) on the batteries.
C. Replace the battery cover by inserting the two hooks at
the bottom into the slot, then push on the top area.
Note:
Please remove batteries when not in use for an extended period of time. Do not dispose batteries with household garbage.
2. To Connect the AC/DC Adapter
A. Plug the AC/DC adapter (6V 500mA), into the jack
located at the bottom of this unit. (shown in the diagram).
B. Use only the adapter
included with this unit.
Note: Remove batteries
when using the AC adapter for an extended period of time.
1. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. (Fig. A.)
Note: The level of your heart is
slightly below your armpit.
Relax your entire body,
especially the area between your elbow and fingers.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you can not keep your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your arm. (Fig. B) Do not allow hard objects to come in contact with the wrist cuff.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
Avoid leaning back or crossing your legs while the measurement is being taken. (Fig. C)

B. Remove any clothing that restricts the upper left arm.
Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tube should point in the direction of your hand. The bottom edge of the cuff should be 0.8" ~ 1.2" (2~3 cm) above your elbow with the tube positioned over the middle of your arm.
C. Position the artery mark (
) over the main artery (on
the inside of your arm) in the upper arm.
D. To have a secure fit, pull the end of the cuff towards
you, wrap it over, then press it for closure. If the Index
line falls within the OK range, indicated at the edge of the cuff, this cuff is suitable for your use. If the Index line falls out of the OK range, you may need a cuff with larger circumference.
This cuff fits arm sizes 9.2" - 18.2".

E.
Position your arm so that the cuff is aligned at heart
level, as shown in the diagram.

Note:
To locate the main artery, press two fingers approximately 1" (2cm)
above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left arm

Irregular Heartbeat Dectection
Heartbeat Readings
An irregular heartbeat may cause or indicate cardiovascular disease. This unit has a unique function that alerts the user to the presence of an irregular heartbeat.
Irregular Heartbeat reading
When taking your blood pressure reading, If you are experiencing an irregular heartbeat the unit will display the Pulse Value and "IH" symbols alternately. Example: (90/IH)
Note: It is advised that you consult your physician if the irregular
heartbeat symbol "IH" appears often.
Regular Heartbeat reading but below normal
When taking your blood pressure reading, if your reading displays a value below 60 beats/sec, then the unit will display the Pulse Value and "LO" symbols alternately. Example: (58/LO)
Regular Heartbeat reading but above normal
When taking your Blood Pressure reading, if your reading displays a value above 100 beats/sec, then the unit will display the Pulse Value and "HI" symbols alternately. Example: (102/HI)
