What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among the various health problems afflicting people today, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.
About Blood Pressure
Care & Maintenance
Blood Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc.
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.
Do not drop the unit. It's not shock proof.

Correct Measuring Posture
Measurement Procedure
A. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
Note: The level of your heart is slightly below your armpit.
C. After the cuff pressure reaches the recommended pumping value, allow the unit to release gradually while performing the measurement.

Pumping
B.   If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you can not keep your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your arm.
C.   Turn your palm upwards.
D.   Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
Note: Avoid leaning back or crossing your legs while the measurement is being taken. (Fig C)
Note: It is important to remain still and quiet during measurement. Any significant movement may affect measurement results.

Measurement Procedures
Applying the Cuff
To start the measurement
Note: In order to get your correct measurement result and, to avoid erroneous measurements, you should be seated quietly. Your arm, hand, and fingers should be still during the measurement procedure.
A. You must depress the knob on the inflation bulb to release the air inside the cuff before each measurement. Press the "ON/OFF" button. The display will initially show a flashing "0".
To apply the cuff
A.   Plug the end of the tubing on the cuff into the connector at the base of the monitor.
B.   Unwrap the arm cuff leaving the "Index" end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff.
— Flashing "0'
Initial Display
B. After the "0" stops blinking, start to pump the inflation bulb several times until the reading reaches the recommended pumping value. ( See below).
C. Remove any clothing that restricts your upper left arm. Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tube should point in the direction of your hand. Position the artery mark over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) in the upper arm.

Main Artery
D. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 1-2 inches above the inner side of the elbow joint. Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of the cuff.
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain a more accurate reading.
A.   Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring.
B.   Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
C.   You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
D.   It is important that you relax during measurement. Take a 15-minute rest before a reading.
E.   Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension.
F.  Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
G.   If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), place it at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
H. Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement.
E. 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 special cuff for measurement. Please contact our service department at 1-800-672-8293 for more information regarding additional cuffs.
Note: To locate the main artery, press two fingers approximately 1-2 inches above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left arm.
