Insert four AAA batteries, observing correct polarity c. Close the battery door Replacing batteries When the LCD screen displays new batteries must be inserted immediately to ensure accurate results Connecting the cuff Insert the plug end of the rubber tubule firmly into the cuff socket located on the front of the monitor to ensure there is no air leakage The cuff should be ready to use. Ensure the end is passed through the metal loop making sure the hook and loop fastening is facing outwards. There are 4 pre-programmed pressurisation values which are set at 190mmHg 228mmHg 266mmHg 295mmHg. When automatic inflation begins, the unit will inflate to 190mmHg 228mmHg 266mmHg 295mmHg. If a systolic pressure is not detected, the unit will continue to inflate automatically to the next pressurisation level. This will continue to a maximum level of 295mmHg If you feel any discomfort or pain during this time, turn the unit off and remove the cuff immediately. consult your local pharmacist or healthcare professional for advice It is recommended that you rest for at least 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure measurement. Allow at least 3 minutes rest between measurements to allow the blood circulation in your arm to recover. The Blood Pressure Monitor is designed for use by adults and should not be used on infants or young children. We recommend that you carry out your test whilst sitting at a table with both of your feet flat on the floor, do not cross your legs. Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart as this will place the monitor and your arm in an ideal position for the best results. Place the cuff on your selected arm (please refer to Your first test on how to select an arm). Ensure the cuff is secure. Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped around the upper arm. Avoid compression or restriction of the rubber tubule during measurement as this may cause an inflation error due to continuos cuff pressure. If this occurs, switch the unit off immediately by pressing the START button. Do not move your arm, body or the monitor and do not move the rubber tubule during measurement and do not talk. Setting the time and date Press the START and MEM buttons simultaneously, the monitor will beep and the month will flash. Press MEM repeatedly to select the month, press START to confirm. Follow the same process to select the date and time (hours and minutes). 4 5

5 Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor Putting on the cuff: Place the cuff 1~2cm above the elbow joint. Measuring can be done on light clothing such as a shirt or blouse. However, if you have a weak pulse, it is recommended you test on a bare arm. Remove any tight or restrictive clothing from your arm. For example, restriction caused by rolling up a shirt sleeve. 2. Place hand on a flat surface with the palm facing up and with the rubber tubule running down the centre of the arm. 3. Turn the cuff end outwards and tighten it by pulling it through the metal loop and pressing the hook surface of the cuff on to the loop surface of the cuff. To get the correct tightness, you should be able to fit two fingers under the cuff. 4. Use your free hand to adjust the tightness of the cuff until it is firm. The cuff can be cleaned by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and towel dry. PLEASE DO NOT IRON. ONLY USE THE CUFF SUPPLIED WITH THIS MONITOR. If a larger size is required you can purchase an extra large cuff from Your first test We recommend that for your first test you test both your arms. This will determine which arm should be used for future measurements. Take note of your systolic (higher number) reading on both arms. The arm which gives the higher systolic reading should be used in the future for testing. Note: Ensure you do not suffer from any medical conditions which will prevent you from having your blood pressure measured in both arms. Example: Left arm: 132 (systolic) 86 (diastolic) Right arm: 128 (systolic) 84 (diastolic) Reading your results The example above shows that you should use your left arm in future testing as it has the highest systolic reading. 6 7

6 XXXXX Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Once you are in a comfortable position press START Measuring Process a. Once the cuff has automatically inflated, the LCD screen will display a flashing heart whilst the pressure is gradually reduced and the monitor takes an automatic measurement b. The monitor will faintly beep when the automatic measurement has finished. It is advised to use the monitor in a quiet room in order to hear the beep. The reading will be displayed on the screen along with the pulse rate. If the reading displays this shows that the monitor has detected an irregular heartbeat which will be caused by common arrhythmias. This will result in an inaccurate reading. It is advisable to restart again after a short time delay. If it occurs again it is advisable to check with your doctor to obtain an accurate assessment. If there is an error or abnormal reading, please refer to the Abnormality & Troubleshooting section. c. During measurement, you can press the START button to turn off the monitor manually. Using your Blood Pressure Monitor Memory Press MEM button in time mode to select the memory function, the LCD will display the average value of the last three results. By pressing the MEM button again the most recent result will be displayed. The memory can store 2 x 60 sets of measurements, which also include the date and time of the reading. The results will be automatically stored. In memory mode, press START to switch the U1 or U2, then press MEM to confirm. U1 or U2 will be displayed depending on which memory store you are using. Press MEM continuously to display the previously stored measurements one by one. Once the memory has been filled with 60 sets of data, the 61st measurement when taken will be stored as the most recent reading whilst the first reading you took will be automatically deleted. You can delete stored memory readings by pressing MEM for 3 seconds, and all results in the memory will be deleted and you will hear 3 consecutive beeps. 8 9

7 Using your Blood Pressure Monitor What the results mean a. The LCD screen will automatically display the systolic and diastolic pressure reading in mmhg and the pulse rate in pulse/min after each measurement. b. Record date, time, systolic reading, diastolic reading and pulse rate on your record table which you will find in the back of the user manual (including anything which may have influenced your blood pressure reading e.g. stress, anxiety). This will help you monitor trends. Please take this record card with you on your visits to your doctor, pharmacist or healthcare professional. NOTE: Measurements should ideally be taken at the same time, under the same conditions and in the same position each time Please be aware that blood pressure can fluctuate since it responds to minute changes in the body. It is unusual to continuously remain at the same value, hence it is recommended that the blood pressure be determined based on an average of multiple measurements. If you experience a higher than normal reading, do not panic as this can happen. Relax and take a break for at least 10 minutes before measuring your blood pressure again. Low blood pressure (Hypotension) and high blood pressure (Hypertension) can only be diagnosed by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor or pharmacist. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact your local pharmacist or healthcare professional. Using your Blood Pressure Monitor To get an accurate value: Measure at least one hour after eating and avoid measuring immediately after bathing Measure one hour after smoking or drinking alcohol/coffee Relax for 5 minutes before taking a measurement and remain relaxed whilst measuring Do not move or talk during measurement, as this will affect the accuracy If you suffer from atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation you may get an inaccurate reading. Re-measuring If you want to measure again, press start button to switch off and press start button again. Leave at least three minutes between measurements to allow blood circulation to the arm to return to normal Do not measure your blood pressure too many times in one session as it may cause discomfort in the arm If you feel any discomfort or pain, turn the monitor off and remove the cuff immediately The unit will return to standby mode, displaying the day and month, after 1 minute if not being used 10 11

WHO (World Health Organisation) Definitions and Classification of Blood Pressure Levels. * If systolic and diastolic BP fall into different categories, the higher value should be taken for classification e.g. if your BP is 141/83 you should read the advice in the Hypertension category (not the normal category). Your BP should be re-assessed professionally at least once every 5 years unless you have high BP in which case it should be re-assessed at least once a year - speak to your pharmacist or healthcare professional. 12 XXXXX Additional Information on Blood Pressure Your heart is just like a pump which works all the time to make the blood flow through all blood vessels. Blood pressure measures the force on the wall of the blood vessels caused by the pressure of the blood. The output of blood from the heart when it pushes blood around the body is called systolic blood pressure. Diastolic blood pressure is the measurement of the blood returning to the heart. Blood pressure is normally written as, for example: 120 (systolic) 80 (diastolic) Fluctuation of Blood Pressure Blood pressure fluctuates constantly during the day. Its value in the day time is higher than in the evening with the lowest level being at midnight. The pressure begins to rise again at 03:00am and reaches its highest level any time during the day so it is impossible to get a consistent reading. For this reason, please take your measurements at the same time of day. Systolic Diastolic 13
