Fuzzy Logic Measuring Technology
This Physio Logic™ monitor uses the oscillometric method to
detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the
device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air
pressure. Your Physio Logic™ monitor will determine the
appropriate inflation level based on one's pressure oscillations,
followed by cuff deflation. During the deflation, the device will
detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure oscillations and
thereby determine the systolic, diastolic, and pulse for you.
Statement of Accuracy
Blood pressure measurements determined with Physio Logic™
are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff /
stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by
the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers (ANSI /AAMI).
About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arterial wall while
blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the
heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic
(highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood
flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood
pressure.
High blood pressure’s strong correlation with cardiovascular
diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressure a
necessity of identifying those at risk.

Blood Pressure Standard
The Joint National Committee on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood pressure has developed a blood
pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high risk
blood pressure are identified. This standard is a guideline as blood
pressure varies among different people and different age groups...
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.
Blood Pressure for Adults Age 18 and Older
Category Systolic (mm Hg) Diastolic (mm Hg)
Optimal <120 and <80
Normal <130 and <85
High-normal 130-139 or 85-89
Hypertension Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99
Hypertension Stage 2 160-179 or 100-109
Hypertension Stage 3 >180 or >110
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! You should not be overly
worried if you encounter two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the month and throughout the day.

Before Taking a Measurement
To help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Urinate if necessary.
• Remove any clothing and jewellery from your left arm. Placing
the cuff on anything other than bare skin can result in an
inaccurate reading.
• Sit in a comfortable position with your legs and ankles
uncrossed and your back supported.
• Sit quietly for 15 minutes before measuring your blood pressure.
• If you need to retake a reading, wait at least 5 minutes to allow
your circulation to return to normal.
• Pick a time of day, and take your blood pressure at about the
same time every day. Since your blood pressure varies at
different times of the day, this will make it easier for you to
compare your daily blood pressure readings. Agood time to take
your blood pressure is in the morning, before breakfast.
• Don't smoke, eat or exercise for 30 minutes before taking your
blood pressure. These activities can change your blood pressure.
• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after
consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings,
please wait one hour before measuring.
• Only take your blood pressure in a quiet place and when you are
relaxed. Don't take your blood pressure when you are under
stress.Any stress will raise your blood pressure.
• Position your arm so that the cuff is at the level of your heart.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing),
place it in a warm location for at least one hour before using it.

Pulse rate
Appears when
measurement value is
stored in memory or is
recalled from memory.
Shows the pulse rate
per minute.
Appears when batteries
should be replaced.
Occurs when a error
was made during
measurement.
Installing Batteries
1. Press down and lift the battery cover in the direction of the arrow
to open the battery compartment.
2. Install 4 “AA” 1.5 V alkaline batteries according to the
indication inside the compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover by inserting the bottom tabs first, then
push in the top end of the battery cover.
Replace batteries when:
1. Lowbattery icon appears on display.
2. The On / Off / Start button is
pushed and nothing appears
on display.

Recalling Memory
1. To recall stored blood pressure
readings from memory, simply
press the Memory button. The
last set of memorized readings
will be displayed.
2. Another press of the Memory
button will recall the previous
set of readings.
3. All readings stored in memory
will be displayed with its
sequence number.

Applying the Arm Cuff
1. Insert the cuff’s connecting tube into the unit.
2. Unwrapthe arm cuff, leaving the “Index” end of the cuff through
the D-ring of the cuff.

3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. Position the artery mark
( ) at the middle of your arm above the elbow, in line with your
middle finger. Tighten the cuff by pulling the “Index” end of the
cuff (snug, not tight).
4. Turn your left palm upward
and place the edge of the arm
cuff at approximately 2 to 3
(0.8” - 1.2”)
cm above the
inner side of the elbow joint.
5. 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
different size cuff.

Taking a Measurement
1. Press the On / Off / Start button. All displays will appear for
approximately one second before returning to “0”.
2. The unit will automatically inflate
to the appropriate inflation level
based on the user’s pulse
oscillations. Measurement will
then begin.
3. When the measurement is
completed, systolic, diastolic and
pulse will show simultaneously
and be saved automatically in the
memory system.
4. Press the On / Off / Start button to
turn off the power. If no button is
pressed, the unit will shut off
automatically in 1 minute.

Troubleshooting
Symptom:
Correction:
No display when the On / Off / Start button is pressed.
If the batteries have run down, replace them with
new alkaline batteries. If the batteries are not in the correct
position, re-insert them with the correct polarities.
EE
Symptom:
mark shown on display or the blood pressure value
is displayed excessively low (high).
Correction:
Wrap the cuff properly so that it is positioned
correctly. If you talked or moved during the measurement, measure
it again quietly.
Note: If the unit does not work, please call our consumer
information line at 1-800-363-2381. Under no circumstance
should you disassemble the unit and attempt repairs.
Cautionary Notes
1. Avoid extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Avoid dropping or strongly shocking the main unit, and protect
it from dust.
2. Clean the blood pressure monitor body and the cuff carefully
with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Do not press. Do not wash the
cuff or use chemical cleaner.
3. Removethe batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
4. The unit should not be operated by children.
5. This device might not be suitable for use by people with
common arrhythmias, such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats or atrial fibrillation. It is not designed for ambulatory use.
