3. Real Fuzzy Measuring Technology
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air pressure. This unit will determine the appropriate
ination level based on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deation.
During the deation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of
the pressure oscillations and thereby determine for you the systolic blood
pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse.
4. Preliminary Remarks
This Blood Pressure Monitor complies with the European regulations and
bears the CE mark “CE 0366”. The quality of the device has been veri-
ed and conforms to the provisions of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC

nearest dealer for re-calibration service.
5. Blood Pressure Standard
The National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating
Committee has developed a blood pressure standard, classifying blood
pressure ranges into 4 stages. (Ref. The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection,
Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood
Pressure-Complete Report JNC-7, 2004).
This blood pressure classification are based
on historical data, and may not be directly
applicable to any particular patient. 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. Please download
the blood pressure log at
www.rossmaxhealth.com.
6. Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure uctuates all the time!
You should not be overly
worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes
over the month and even
throughout the day. It is
also inuenced by season
and temperature.

13. Measurement Procedures
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation
throughout the day.
• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or
her physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait
one hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol
or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes
as measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You
should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold
or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it
placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
• Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
1. Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1 or memory zone 2.
After a memory zone is selected, press the START/STOP key to reset the
monitor so it can start measurement in the chosen memory zone.
2. Press the START/STOP key. All digits will light up, checking the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed in 2 seconds.
3. After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking “0”. The monitor

measurement.
4. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will exhaust the pressure
inside. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored
into the pre-designated memory zone.
This monitor will re-inflate automatically to approximately 220 mmHg if the
system detects that your body needs more pressure to measure your blood
pressure.
Note: 1. This monitor automatically switches off approximately 1 minute after
last key operation.
2. To interrupt the measurement, simply press the START/STOP or
Memory key; the cuff will deflate immediately.
3. During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand
muscles.
