Carematix 1024 • • Wrist Type Digital Drinking Alcohol Smoking, etc. Blood Pressure Monitor 2. Indications for Use 3. Let a qualified physician interpret your blood pressure readings. Depending on your age, weight and general condition, blood pressure can be slightly different. Never make any judgment of measurement results on your own. The Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for the noninvasive measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and determination of heart rate in adult patients, i.e., age 15 and above. The product is recommended for use by patients with labile (unstable) blood pressure or known hypertension in a home care environment as an adjunct to medical management. The cuff will accommodate a wrist circumference range of approximately 125 to 205 millimeters (4.9 to 8.1 inches). Blood Pressure is measured over a range of 0 to 300 mmHg and heart rate over a range of 40 to 160 beats/minute. The user is cautioned that the system may fail to yield specified measurement accuracy if operated or stored in temperature or humidity conditions outside the limited stated in the specifications section of this manual. Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured in a hospital, clinic or doctor’s office. Depending on your state of relaxation or stress, your blood pressure can change by 30 to 50 mmHg without you being aware of this. Causes for Changes in Blood Pressure • Movement • Emotions • Changes in the Environment or Temperature • Conversation • Mental Tension • Meals Take care that your clothes are not caught by the cuff. • Do not push the POWER button before the cuff is completely wound. Correct Measuring Posture 1. Sit on a chair or lie on your back. 2. After placing the Monitor on your wrist, relax your hand and lift the Monitoring Unit to the level of your heart. 3. Proceed with the measuring method. Measuring Method 4. Correct Measuring Posture Correct posture is important for accurate measuring of the blood pressure. Preparation for Use 1. Battery Installation 1) Remove the batter cover. 2) Install two AAA alkaline dry cells in the battery compartment, giving attention to their polarity. 3) Replace the battery cover. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Replace the batteries when: • The battery replacement indication appears on the Monitor display. • Nothing appears on the Monitor display even if the POWER button is depressed. Important Items You Should Know Before Use 1. Know the Nature of Your Blood Pressure • About 300 measurements can be made after installation of new AAA alkaline dry cells. The enclosed batteries are for monitoring, and their life may be shorter than that of commercial batteries. 2. • Wrapping the Cuff Around Your Wrist 1) With the palm of your left hand up, put the cuff on your wrist so that the main body is on the same side as your palm. 2) Fasten the cuff around your wrist so that there is no space between the cuff and your wrist. The cuff should fit snugly. Attach the cuff next to the skin. Starting Measurement 1. Press the POWER button. If you hold the POWER button too long (more than approximately 2 sec.), the apparatus will be in the “checking mode” or the power will be turned off. In such cases, which do not indicate any problems, press the POWER button again to start the measurement. 2. The Monitor automatically starts inflation. 3. When the pressure reaches applied pressure, the apparatus automatically stops inflation. 4. The displayed value (pressure) decreases. 5. The pulse is indicated by heart mark. Do not move, or exert yourself during measurement. 6. When the measurement is terminated, air is automatically released from the cuff. Stopping Measurement Press the POWER button and the Monitor will stop inflation, discharge air rapidly, and then turn off. Automatic Repressurization If the pressure applied is judged insufficient in the early phase, of measurement or if movement of the hand or wrist occurs during measurement, the unit will inflate again to a level about 30 mmHg higher. Automatic repressurization is repeated until a measurement is made. However, this does not indicate a problem. To manually control pressurization, hold down the POWER button immediately after the start of inflation and release it when the pressure reaches the level 50 mmHg higher than the expected maximum systolic pressure. If the pressure value has exceeded 180 mmHg, the inflation will sop when the key is released. Pressure can be increased to approximately 300 mmHg. • Measured Data Storage When the measurement is completed, the measured data will automatically be stored in memory. Model: Operating Principle: Indicator: Turning off the Power To turn off the power, press the POWER button. If the Power is Not Turned Off The Monitor will automatically turn off 3 minutes after measurement. Precautions for Use As blood pressure rises at low temperatures, maintain a room temperature around 20°C for measuring. Before measuring the blood pressure, avoid exercise, eating, drinking alcohol, smoking and other activities influencing the blood pressure value. Using this device in areas near portable phones, microwave ovens or other devices with strong electromagnetic fields may cause malfunctions. Caring for Your Blood Pressure Monitor Servicing and Storage • • • Clean the body with a cloth moistened with water and mild detergent, and then wipe dry Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, benzene or other strong solvents. Do not store the unit where it could be wet or where it could get exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, dust, etc. • • When the unit is in storage, remove the batteries. Battery leakage can cause damage Do not press the POWER button when the wrist cuff has not been wrapped around your wrist. Do not expose the product to strong shocks and do not drop it.
