Caution
1. Consult your physician to verify your blood pres-
GB sure range before obtaining it at home with this
unit.
2. If the cuff causes any discomfort during measu-
rement, press the start/stop button to turn off the
unit immediately.
3. Pull off the velcro strap to detach the arm cuff
if the pressure is over 300mmHg and the cuff
does not deflate automatically.

unit are equivalent to those obtained by a trained
person using the cuff/ stethoscope auscultation
method.

WARRANTY :
Three years from the date of purchase.

Information You Should Know
Before Operating the Unit

What is blood pressure?

A force is created by the heart as the ventricle


forcibly ejects blood into the blood vessels and
through the transport system. Another force is cre-
ated by the arteries as they resist the blood flow.
Blood pressure is the result of these two forces.

What are systolic and diastolic pressures?

Systolic pressure represents the highest pressure


at the height of the heart‘s contraction. Diastolic
pressure is the lowest pressure when the heart is
resting.

Is my blood pressure normal?

See the following blood pressure classification


chart released by the WHO (World Health Organi-
zation) for evaluation of your blood pressure level.

GB

Severe hypertension (Grade 3)


Moderate Hypertension (Grade 2)

Mild Hypertension (Grade 1)

Boarderline
Normal
Optimal

23
Information You Should Know
Before Operating the Unit

What about low blood pressure?

In general, a lower blood pressure reading is better


unless it causes some uncomfortable symptoms
such as fainting and/or lightheadedness.

Fluctuation and variation in blood pressure

The following chart shows possible blood pressure


fluctuations during a 24hr period.

GB

The following factors will influence blood pressure


measurement results and cause variations.

• Bathing • Breathing
• Conversation • Drinking alcohol
• Exercise • Moving
• Mental tension • Meals
• Temperature change • Thoughts
• Smoking etc.

hand.

27
Preparation for Use

Measuring Positure

1. Sit upright and ensure that the measuring site is


at heart level. Relax and measure in a natural
position.

2. Measure and record blood pressure at the same


time every day to establish your blood pressure
pattern.

AC Adapter (optional accessory)


It is possible to use a stabilized AC adapter (output
6 V DC/800 mA) to operate the device.

Note:
GB 1. No power is taken from the batteries while the
AC is connected to the device.
2. If AC adapter power is interrupted during measu-
rement, the device must be reset by disconnec-
ting the AC adapter from the device.
3. Please consult appropriate dealer if you have
questions relating to the adapter.
