Introduction
Before operating this monitor, please carefully read the instruction to use it
correctly.
This product is designed for blood pressure monitoring and applied to
adults. It is not applied to neonates and infants.
This device complies with IEC 60601-1 standard for medical products.
The device uses digital pressure sensor to measure blood pressure. It
applies to high altitude or low altitude environment, and is equipped with
auto-correction function.
It is designed with a large LCD display as a result the elderly and visually
impaired are able to read the measurements.
The monitor not only recognizes five users with their own fingerprints but also
stores up to 200 individual measurements.
The monitor passed IP22 test. The first 2 means " the level of protection that
the enclosure provides against access to hazardous parts and the ingress of
solid foreign objects larger than 12.5 mm " and the second 2 means
“vertically dripping water shall have no harmful effect when the enclosure is
tilted at an angle of 15° from its normal position. A total of four positions are
tested within two axes. ” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code)

3. Take a Measurement
To avoid damage of vessels and tissue, do not frequently measure blood pressure.
3.1CorrectPosture
Before being the measurement, please ensure you are relaxed as much as possible.
We recommend that users should rest for at least 5-minute before the measurement.
Rest your left arm on a table and relax your arm as shown below. To avoid errors,
please maintain the correct posture during the measurement
Make sure the cuff is at your heart level. When measuring blood pressure, lightly
bend your elbow while resting your arm on a table. If the level of the arm cuff is lower
than your heart, please place a cushion under your arm.
Improper posture will affect the results of the measurements, such as: loose arm cuff,
talking during measurement, body tilted, or sitting cross-legged.

9. Basics of Blood Pressure
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial
blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart’s cycle. The highest pressure
in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure. Both
pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the
status of a patient’s blood pressure.
Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure at Home?
Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety which is itself a
cause of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single
measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can influence your
blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and measure your blood pressure at the same
time each day, to get an accurate indication of any changes in blood pressure.
Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from afternoon to evening.
It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter.
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and measurements are
written with the systolic pressure before the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as
135/85, is referred to as 135 over 85 mmHg.
Classification of Blood Pressure by the World Heath Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH)
developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown in this figure.
This classification is based on the blood pressure values measured on people in a sitting position
in outpatient departments of hospitals. There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension.
However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg are assumed as hypotensive.
‐29‐
High Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure, or hypertension, is a medical condition in which the arterial blood
pressure is elevated. High blood pressure can be classified as "primary", meaning that no
medical cause can be found, or as "secondary", meaning that it is caused by other conditions
that affect the kidneys, arteries, heart or endocrine system.
Persistent high blood pressure is a risk factor for conditions such as stroke, heart failure, arterial
aneurysm and others. It is also a leading cause of chronic kidney failure. Even moderately
elevated blood pressure for an extended period of time may short your life expectancy.
A person's blood pressure is constantly changing. Blood pressure can fluctuate considerably
through the course of a single day, and it is also affected by the seasons and by the weather.
One or two readings are not sufficient to get an accurate picture of your blood pressure.
Ideally, you should get into the habit of checking your blood pressure at fixed times several
times a day, every day, and keep a detailed record of these readings.
This record can then be reviewed by your doctor or other health care provider, helping you to
monitor your health on an ongoing basis.
For a normal, healthy person blood pressure fluctuates within a range of approximately ± 10
mmHg.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically

the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
