1 GENERAL
This instruction manual is intended to assist the user in safe and efficient operation
of the wrist type digital blood pressure monitor (hereinafter: device) model 1143.
The device must be used in accordance with the procedures described in the
manual. It is important to read and understand the entire manual, especially the
section <Tips on taking blood pressure measurement>.
This device is intended for the noninvasive measurement of systolic and diastolic
arterial blood pressure and pulse rate in adults (age 15 and above). Consult your
physician before using this device on children or persons with arrhythmia.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
This device uses oscillometric technology with Fuzzy Algorithm to measure the
arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The wrist cuff is wrapped around the wrist
and automatically inflated by an air pump. The sensor of the device catches weak
fluctuation of the pressure in the wrist cuff produced by extension and contraction
of the artery of the wrist in response to each heartbeat. The amplitude of the
pressure waves is measured, converted in millimeters of the mercury column, and
is displayed by digital value.

Note: This device cannot provide reasonable accuracy if used or stored at
temperature or humidity beyond the range stated in the <SPECIFICATIONS>
section of this manual.

2 TIPS ON TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
1. It is necessary to know that arterial blood pressure is subjected to sharp
fluctuations. The level of the arterial blood pressure depends on many
factors. Generally arterial blood pressure is lower in the summer and higher
in the winter. Arterial blood pressure changes with atmosphere pressure
and is affected considerably by many factors, e.g. physical loads, emotional
excitability, stress, meals, etc. Medicines, drinking, and smoking can affect
blood pressure. When blood pressure is measured in the hospital, the value is
sometimes higher than when taken at home. This is believed to be associated
with anxiety experienced during the hospital/clinic visit. Blood pressure may
be elevated when taken in low temperatures. If this device was stored at a low
temperature, it is necessary to leave it at room temperature for at least 1 hour,
otherwise the measurement can be inaccurate. Blood pressure varies by age
and from person to person, and it is recommended to record blood pressure
daily; then you can check with your physician to find out what normal blood
pressure is for you.

2. Patients with cardiovascular diseases: Take measurement under doctor’s
instruction.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosage of any drug pre-
scribed by your doctor!
3. Accurate measurement of blood pressure may be difficult in people with serious
arteriosclerosis, weak pulse, or in patients with irregular heart rates. Please
consult a qualified physician to interpret your blood pressure readings.

4. Keep quiet and relax during measurement. To obtain accurate readings, wait
one hour after a meal or smoking before taking a measurement.
5. Wait at least 5 minutes before taking the next measurement. Atherosclerosis
and diabetes patients require longer intervals (10-15 minutes), since vessel
elasticity may have decreased in these pathologies.
