Carematix 1200 Arm Type Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Hints on Taking Your Blood Pressure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Rest for five minutes before taking your blood pressure. Take your blood pressure when relaxed in a quiet room. Do not move your body when taking your blood pressure. If you are wearing a shirt which might restrict circulation in your upper arm, remove your shirt before taking your blood pressure. Since exercise, eating, drinking, and smoking affect your blood pressure reading, avoid these activities before taking your blood pressure. Room temperature should be about 70ºF (20ºC) when taking your blood pressure. Note: Blood pressure readings will vary over the course of the day. Blood pressure is low in the morning and increases from afternoon to evening. Blood pressure is lower in the summer and higher in the winter. Main Unit Power Supply Battery Installation 1. 2. 3. While lightly pressing the battery compartment cover, slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow. When the compartment is opened, you will see the polarity is indicated by (+) and (–) marks in the compartment. Insert four “AA” type batteries, in the compartment, making sure that the polarities correspond to the (+) and (–) marks. Replace the battery compartment cover on the main unit. 5. Measuring Procedures 1. Notes: 1. If the LCD display or the functioning of the unit is not normal after changing the batteries, take out the batteries and place them again correctly in the battery compartment. 2. Use Alkaline Batteries to increase monitor life. Use of regular Carbon-Zinc batteries will require more frequent replacement. 3. Since the first batteries are monitor batteries that are installed at the time of shipment from the factory, they may have a shorter life than new batteries. 2. 3. Operating the Unit Blood Pressure and Systolic and diastolic blood pulse rate display pressure and pulse rate. Power Switch ........... ON/OFF Switch Preset Pressure....... Presets the pressure for inflation ... for ease of operation. Start Button........... ... Start Inflation Mark ........ ... Flashes when the unit is ........................ ... ready to operate. Deflation Mark...... ... Appears before or after measurement. Pulse Mark............ Flashes when the Pulse is detected. Air Connector ....... To connect the tube from the cuff. 4. Wrapping the Cuff 1. 2. 3. 4. Place the cuff on a flat surface with the fastening tape face down. Insert about two inches of the opposite end of the cuff in the cuff ring. With the rubber tube of the cuff positioned in the direction of the fingertips, place it on the left arm. Wrap the cuff around the arm with the edge of cuff approximately 1 inch above the elbow. *When wrapping the cuff, wrap it loosely enough around the arm so that two fingers can be placed between the cuff and the arm. If the cuff is wrapped more tightly or loosely than this, inaccurate blood pressure readings may result. *If you roll up your sleeve over the upper arm, you constrict the blood flow and prevent accurate measurements. The position of the individual when being measured may be either lying down or sitting. In the sitting position however make sure that the location on the upper arm to be measured is about at the same height as the heart and that the forearm is extended naturally on the table and does not move. 5. a. b. Turn the Power Switch to “ON.” All the panel displays will appear in the display. And then, Deflation Mark “▼” will start flashing on the display. If there is no pressure in the cuff, the buzzer will sound and “ 0 ” will appear on the display. And Inflation Mark “▲” will start flashing. *If panel displays do not light, the unit is malfunctioning. Wrap the cuff around the upper left arm. Set the preset pressure switch at 180 mmHg, if you do not know your own systolic pressure. But if you know it, set the switch to one of the preset values among 180, 210 and 240 mmHg (whichever one is 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your usual systolic pressure). Push the start Button to automatically inflate to the set value. When pressurization stops, the unit will beep and start measuring. Keep quiet and remain in a relaxed position. The pressure in the cuff will begin to decrease. As the cuff pressure decreases, at a certain point, the heart mark will be displayed with beeping sounds in synchronization with your heart beats. If inflation is insufficient, the unit will automatically inflate 30 mmHg higher than before. If this pressure is not sufficient yet, the unit will continue to inflate automatically to an appropriate pressure. c. While the heart mark flashes with beeping sounds, the measurement continues. Remain still without moving your arm and body. d. *If the “Err” display appears, refer carefully to the “ERROR DISPLAYS” section of this manual. e. The measurement completes when the beeping sound lasts for one second and your systolic and diastolic pressure reading will be displayed for three seconds. Then, your pulse rate will be displayed for two seconds. The display will show those readings alternately. And the Deflation Mark “ ▼ ” will appear and the unit will automatically exhaust the air from the cuff. f. After the air is completely deflated from the cuff, the Inflation Mark “ ▲ ” will appear and a beep will sound. 6. Turn the power switch to “OFF.” *If the unit is not used for approximately 3 minutes, power will automatically be turned OFF. Care and Maintenance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Because this unit uses precision parts, care should be taken to avoid extremes in temperature variations, humidity, shock dust and direct sunlight. Do not drop or strike this unit. When cleaning this unit, use only a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is to be stored for a long period, be sure to remove the batteries before storage. If your doctor detects you have a high blood pressure, he may suggest that you monitor your own pressure between regular doctor’s checkups. High blood pressure can lead to serious medical complications. Therefore, regular monitoring can be very important to you. This unit is designed and intended for use on an adult’s arm (Circumference 9 to 12½ inches). An inaccurate reading may result if this instrument is used on a child’s arm. Consult your physician if you wish to take a child’s blood pressure.
