Introduction
It is recommended that you rst seek the advice and recommendation of your
physician or healthcare professional when using home diagnostic devices, including
blood pressure monitors.
Automatic digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method to electronically
measure your blood pressure. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery
in your arm and converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method
does not require a stethoscope, making the monitor ideal for home use.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements
obtained by a trained healthcare professional using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation
method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or
Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Thank you for purchasing our Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With
proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable
readings.
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT.

Before Taking a Measurement
1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or healthcare professional with
access to your individual medical history. Regular use of a home blood pressure monitor
will allow you to track and record your readings for discussion with your physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a relaxed position. Rest for 15
minutes before taking your reading. If an error occurs or you desire to take a second
reading, allow 15 minutes between readings for your blood vessels to return to normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical activity or any other stressful
activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may interfere with the cuff
placement.
5. Keep yourself and the monitor still during measuring; do not talk during the reading.
6. It is recommended that you take your readings as the same time each day to better
monitor any indications in your results.
7. Record your daily measurement on the included chart or some other written document to
share with your physician.
Getting Started
Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is inuenced by many factors and can change from moment to moment.
Normally, blood pressure is lowest during sleeping periods and rises during the day.

Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the
appropriate size cuff.
To determine the proper cuff size, measure the circumference of your
left upper arm at the point midway between inside bend of your elbow
and your shoulder, Fig 1.
Adult Cuff ts arm circumference 11-3/4” - 16-1/2” (30-42 cm)
Large Adult Cuff ts arm circumference 16-1/2” - 18-7/8” (42-48 cm)
Additional cus are available for order on the enclosed order form.
If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm,
please modify the instructions for cuff application to your right arm.
Your physician can help you identify which arm is best for you to take
measurements from.
1. The cuff should not be plugged into the monitor until after the cuff is
applied to your arm.
2. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with
cuff placement.
3. Be seated at a table or desk with your feet at on the oor and legs
uncrossed.
4. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing up and
away from you. The metal ring/bar on the cuff should be to the left
of the tubing.
5. Open the cuff by pulling or rolling the bottom of the cuff to the right,
Fig 2. This should open the cuff without fully unrolling it, creating a
cylinder. Do not extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
6. Insert your left arm into the created cuff cylinder. Position the index
mark over the main artery on the inside of your arm, Fig 3, 4.

Interpreting Your Results
Irregular Heartbeat Detection
An irregular heartbeat is dened as a heartbeat rhythm that is more than 25% slower or 25%
faster than the average measurement detected while the monitor is conducting the
measurement. When this device detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the
reading, the IHB symbol will appear on the display screen.
This monitor will operate if the icon appears, but the results may be compromised, especially
if this symbol appears often. Please consult with your physician or trained healthcare
professional for further information regarding an irregular heartbeat and if this symbol
appears frequently.
