POSITIONING THE ARM CUFF Ensure the arm cuff is correctly placed to obtain an accurate reading. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left arm, use your right arm. 1. Choose the position from which you wish to measure, sitting or lying down. 2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin. 3. Put arm through the cuff loop. 4. Place cuff about an inch (1-2 cm) above your elbow. Use cushions or other supports if necessary to adjust. The air tube should run down, between the inside of your forearm and the side of your chest, in line with your middle finger. 5. Fasten the arm cuff so it fits snugly. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate. PREPARING TO TAKE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT You can choose to take blood pressure while sitting or lying down. Below are some helpful tips for taking a measurement.  Be sure to set the clock before taking your first measurement, or whenever you replace the batteries, so that the date and time are stored in the memory with your history. For instructions, refer to Monitor Settings section.
 It is important to relax when taking your blood pressure. Try to take a 15-minute rest before you begin.  Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while taking a measurement.  Do not sit cross-legged and avoid talking or moving your fingers and hand while taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other activities may alter your reading.  Wait at least an hour before taking your blood pressure if you have just eaten a large meal.  Do not smoke or drink alcohol before taking your blood pressure.  Do not measure your blood pressure if you are under stress.  Remove all accessories from your arm.  Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood circulation to recover. For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same arm, or as directed by a physician. TAKING A MEASUREMENT If you want the monitor to synchronize with the application of your mobile device. Please do preparation before starting a measurement. 1. Relax your arm. 2. Press to turn on the unit. 3. Select user, then a voice prompts you to sit in the correct position and to remain still : Button User Memory Guest No records stored 1 Record stored under User 1 2 Record stored under User 2 4. Arm cuff will begin inflating automatically. Digits will appear on the screen. 5. Once the pressure reaches a certain level, it will slowly deflate until the results are displayed on the LCD. NOTE To stop the measurement process at any time, press . 6. The monitor automatically attempts to send the record wirelessly to your mobile device. If data transmission fails, Err 1 will appear while a voice prompts. 7. To conserve battery life, monitor will turn off 1 minute after taking a measurement. Alternatively, press to manually turn off monitor. UNDERSTANDING THE READING For reference material, please refer to Useful Reference section which can be found at the end of this manual. DISPLAY Current reading & Average morning / evening reading If there is an average reading, the screen display will toggle between current reading and average morning or evening reading (depending on which section of the day the current reading was taken). Example:
1. Date / Time stamp (automatically toggles) 2. User selected 3. Systolic pressure 4. Diastolic pressure 5. Heart rate 6. Blood pressure classification segments 7. Hypertension indicator bar HYPERTENSION The monitor will visually display by segments under which WHO classification the measurement falls under. Bar Classification Reading Grade 3 Hypertension High Grade 2 Hypertension Grade 1 Hypertension Slightly high High Normal Normal Normal Optimal IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT / ARRHYTHMIA Apart from blood pressure and heart rate, heartbeat is also an indicator of your general health condition. With a normal heartbeat, the beats are steady at regular intervals. An irregular heartbeat is one where there is a variance and the intervals vary. If an irregular heart beat has been detected during the measurement, will be displayed. We highly recommend you consult your physician. MOVEMENT / READING ERROR If Err 1 is displayed, please loosen the arm cuff and relax 2-3 minutes before taking another measurement. Refer again to Preparing to Take Blood Pressure Measurement section and Positioning the Arm Cuff section if required. VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT If audio function is enabled, the following will be announced:  Measurement results (Systolic, Diastolic, Heart rate) ;  WHO classification;  Low battery;  Error detection  displays when audio function is enabled. VIEW RECORDS This monitor can store up to 100 records per user. The most recent record (1) is shown first. Each
new measurement is assigned to the first (1) entry in the user record selected. All other records are pushed back one digit (e.g., 2 becomes 3 and so on), and the last record (100) is dropped from the list. For average morning / evening blood pressure readings to be displayed, blood pressure has to measure for three consecutive days at least twice in each time period (morning / evening).

USEFUL REFERENCE ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force generated by the blood against the walls of arteries during cardiac contraction and relaxation (e.g., the pumping action of the heart). What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure? When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, blood pressure reaches its maximum value. This highest pressure in the cycle is known as systolic pressure. When the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest blood pressure is diastolic pressure. Why measure your blood pressure? Blood pressure measurement can highly reflect one’s health condition. High blood pressure is potentially linked to serious illnesses such as stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Since there is no symptom most of the time, many hypertensive people do not realize they are at risk until their health is seriously threatened. What is the standard blood pressure classification? The figure illustrates the blood pressure classification made by World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999. Reference material: 1999 World Health Organization - International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the management of hypertension, Journal of Hypertension, 1999, 17(2): 151-183. This is used as the basis for the coloured hypertension indication bar to the right of the screen.  Blood pressure is considered high when either the diastolic or systolic blood pressure
value exceeds the normal range. When a patient’s systolic and diastolic blood pressures fall into different categories, the higher category should apply.  Only a physician can tell you your normal blood pressure range and the point at which you are at risk. Consult your physician to obtain these values. If the measurements taken with these products fall outside the range, consult your physician. Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day? Individual blood pressure varies greatly both on a daily and a seasonal or temperature basis. These variations may be more pronounced in hypertensive patients. Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest during sleep. The graph below illustrates the variations over a single day with measurement taken every 5 minutes. The thick line represents sleep time. The rises in blood pressure at 4PM (A in the graph) and 1 2AM (B in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain and sexual intercourse (Beven, Honour & Stott, Clin. Sci. 36:329, 1969). HOW THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect your blood pressure. Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero pressure” equivalent to the air pressure. Then it starts inflating the arm cuff to 180mmHg or higher until it senses that it has blocked your blood in the artery. After that, the deflation process starts, during which time the unit detects pressure oscillations generated by beat-tobeat pulsatile, which is used to determine the systolic, mean and diastolic pressure, and also your pulse rate. Any motion during this period will result in an incorrect measurement. After all readings are determined and displayed on the LCD, the measurement is finished and the arm cuff automatically deflates.
