MEASUREMENT

Tie the Cuff

1. Tie the cuff on your upper arm, then position the tube off-center toward the inner side of arm in line with the little finger.
2. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert one finger between the cuff and your arm.

     The center of the cuff should be at the same level as the right atrium of the heart.

• Rest For 5 minutes before measuring.
• 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 wrist, or as directed by a physician.

2. Press MEM button or SET button to rotate the records. Up to 60 records will be stored under each user ID.
3. If you want to check another user’s records, press the START/STOP button to turn off the monitor when it is in the memory recall mode. Then press SET button, the user icon will be shown, press “SET” button to select the desired user ID, and press the “MEM” button to review the selected user’s records.
4. Press the START/STOP button to turn off the monitor. Otherwise, the monitor will shut off within 1 minute after last operation.
   CAUTION
   The most recent record (1) is shown first. Each new measurement is assigned to the first (1) record. All other records are pushed back one digit (e.g., 2 becomes 3, and so on), and the last record (60) is dropped from the list.

FAQS

What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?

When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.

What is the standard blood pressure classification?

The chart on the right is the standard blood pressure classification published by American Heart Association (AHA).

CAUTION
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your measuring result falls out of the range. Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.

Irregular Heartbeat Detector?

An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation.
If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15,the irregular heartbeat symbol appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.

CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?

1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple times everyday. It is also affected by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so please take the measurement under the
   same conditions.
2. If the person takes medicine, the pressure will vary more.
3. Wait at least 3 minutes for another measurement.

Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared to the hospital?

The blood pressure is different even throughout the day due to weather, emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is the “white coat” effect, which means blood pressure usually increases in clinical settings.

Is the result the same if measuring on the right arm?

It is ok for both arms, but there will be some different results for different people. We suggest you measure the same arm every time.

What you need to pay attention to when you measure your blood pressure at home?

If the cuff is tied properly. If the cuff is too tight or too loose. If the cuff is tied on the upper arm. If you feel anxious.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths before beginning will be better for measuring. Advice: Relax for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.

Can I measure by myself or do I need help to complete the measurement?
