2 All values can be readout in one LCD DISPLAY. Measurement position is on adult wrist one's BLOOD PRESSURE measured by a doctor in a hospitaltends to stimulate nervousness in the person and may even create high BLOOD PRESSURE . BLOOD PRESSURE in accordance with variety of conditions varies. So judgment is not possible on the basis of a single is better to take measurement at home. Regular home monitoring will let you have a record of your measurements. This information may provide a better reference of what your BLOOD PRESSURE really is, and may help your doctor make importantdecisions about your diagnosis and end-user has one of the diseases as heart troubles, Kidneytrouble or diabetes or Frustration problem of BLOOD vessel, please consult a doctor before using the is BLOOD PRESSURE ?

3 BLOOD PRESSURE is a measurement of the force of BLOOD flowingagainst the walls of the arteries. Arterial BLOOD PRESSURE isconstantly changing during the course of the cardiac cycle. Thehighest PRESSURE in the cycle is called the systolic BLOOD PRESSURE ,the lowest is the diastolic BLOOD PRESSURE . Both PRESSURE readings,the systolic and the diastolic are necessary to enable a physicianto evaluate the status of a patient's BLOOD PRESSURE . Many factorssuch as physical activity, anxiety or the time of day, can influenceyour BLOOD PRESSURE . BLOOD PRESSURE is typically low in themorning and increases from the afternoon to the evening. It islower in the summer and higher in the Why is it useful to measure BLOOD PRESSURE at home ?

4 Having one's BLOOD PRESSURE measured by a doctor in a hospitalor a clinic, and a group health checks, tend to stimulatenervousness in the subject and may even create high bloodpressure. Also varies BLOOD PRESSURE in accordance with avariety of conditions and so judgment is not possible on thebasis of a single BLOOD PRESSURE measured first thing in the morning aftergetting up, before taking any food and with the subject still, isknown as the fundamental BLOOD PRESSURE . In practice it is ratherdifficult to record the fundamental BLOOD PRESSURE , but to comeas near as possible to measuring the BLOOD PRESSURE in anenvironment that is close to this, is why it is useful to take themeasurement at BLOOD PRESSURE classifications Standards for assessment of high or low BLOOD PRESSURE without regard to age, have been established by the World HealthOrganization (WHO), as shown in the in BLOOD pressureIndividual BLOOD pressures vary greatly both on a daily and aseasonal basis.

5 These variations are even more pronounced inhypertense patients. Normally the BLOOD PRESSURE rises whileat work and is at its lowest during sleeping period.(hypertense: means a person who has high BLOOD PRESSURE symptom.)The graph below illustrated the variations in BLOOD PRESSURE over a whole daywith measurement taken every five thick line represents sleep. The rise in BLOOD PRESSURE at 4 PM(A in the graph) and 12 PM (B in the graph) correspond to anattack of information before use of the unit BLOOD PRESSURE measurements should be interpreted by aphysician or trained health professional who is familiar with yourmedical history. By using the unit regularly and recording theresults for your physician to interpret, you keep your physicianinformed of the continuing trends in your BLOOD PRESSURE .

6 Wind the cuff snugly around your wrist and the cuff must be atthe same level as your heart. Do not vibrate the unit during measurement, or the propermeasurement will not be achieved. Perform measurement quietly in a relaxed position. Do not wind the cuff over jacket or sweater sleeve, ormeasurement cannot be done. Keep in mind, that BLOOD PRESSURE naturally varies from timeto time through out the day and also is affected by lots ofdifferent factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption,medicamentation and physical activity. People with a condition that causes circulatory problems(diabetes, kidney disease, arteriosclerosis or poor peripheralcirculation) may get lower readings with this MONITOR that witha BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR that is used on the upper consult your physician to determine if your wrist bloodpressure accurately reflects your actual BLOOD PRESSURE .

7 BLOOD PRESSURE measurement determine with the unit areequivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using thecuff / stethoscope auscultation method. Within the limitsprescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Device of the parts of display batteriesRemove the battery cover at the lower side of the unit and insertbatteries into the battery compartment as shown, taking extremecare that the polarities + and - are notice: Your might encounter difficulties to take thebatteries out. If so, use a hard and tiny object such as a pen orothers for Attaching PRESSURE cuffA. Wrap the PRESSURE cuff around the the display of the unit should be placedon the palm side of the the wrist should be Fasten the PRESSURE cuff do not pull strongly on the PRESSURE do not make the PRESSURE cuff too tight.

8 7. Correct measurement positionIt is extremely important for the measured values, that the cuff is at the same height of the or deeper position will give deviations from the true while sitting down:a. Place your elbow on a table or other object (such as our carry case).b. Use the armrest to position the arm so that the PRESSURE cuff is at the same height as the Relax your hand with the palm facing Description of display marksDisplay mark Condition/Cause Corrective action 9. How to measureA. Inserting batteries in position:a. Open battery Refer to the picture in positioning batteries. (Figure )c. All LCD segments appear on the display in 3 Steps to take BLOOD PRESSURE measurement:a.

9 Wrap the cuff around the wrist (Refer to Wrapping of wrist cuff as (Figure No. 5)b. Sit upright on the chair to have correct posture. (Refer to Correct Posture in Taking BLOOD PRESSURE as (Figure No. 6)c. Press START/STOP button. All elements display '888' in 3 seconds. Afterward, displays the update time. The measuring BLOOD PRESSURE symbol will flash on the display and then the air PRESSURE will automatically pump up to 195 mmHg. If BLOOD PRESSURE tends to be on the high level, the air PRESSURE will automatically increase to the required level for measurement. *Do not move or talk in the midst of taking BLOOD PRESSURE After the air PRESSURE is increased, it will slowly decreased.))

10 When the pulse rate is detected, HEART RATE symbol will start flashing and simultaneously a beep sound will be After taking BLOOD PRESSURE measurement, the Systolic rate, Diastolic rate will be lasting flash on the display for 1 Storing, recalling and erasing measurement data:a. Storing data: After each BLOOD PRESSURE measurement, the Systolic rate, diastolic rate, heart pulse will be automatically stored. The memory holds the latest 48 measurement data. If more than 48 measurements, the memory will automatically clear out the earliest Recalling data: (1) Pressing RECALL button at normal time, nothing will appear on the display if there is no data in the appears in the measurement conditionand flashes when pulse is when the batteryvoltage is excessively lowor the positions of batteriesare when the accurateblood PRESSURE could notbe obtained all the time tillthe measurement inprogress remain all two batteriesby new the batteries atcorrect positions bewareof the +/- "start/stop" buttonagain and check cuff if wrappedat the wrist or accordingto instructions Checkpalm if exerting if talking or movingduring if posture is incorrect.
