Why Measure Your Blood Pressure? Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for identifying those at risk. BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health have developed a blood pressure standard that identifies areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure. This standard, however, is a general guideline as an individual’s blood pressure varies among different people, age groups, etc. 5 Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg) Stage 2 Hypertension >160 >100Stage 1 Hypertension 140~159 90~99Prehypertension 120~139 80~89Normal <120 <80__ For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood pressure, are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not have other conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease. To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification. There is an exception to the above definition of high blood pressure for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high blood pressure for those individuals. This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Indicator to visually indicate the assumed risk level of each reading based upon these standards. See page 20 for more information on this feature. It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk. For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure, keeping long-term records is recommended. 6 HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS This monitor uses Smart Measure™ Technology to detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Smart Measure™ Technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level for each individual. Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings. Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's Risk Category Indicator will alert you if your reading falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or stage 2 hypertension categories. See page 20 for more information on the Risk Category Indicator. NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART Air Tube and Connector User-Select Button Memory Recall Button LCD Display START/STOP Button Battery Cover (Located on bottom of unit) Arm Cuffs Date/Time Set Buttons Other Accessories Included : 1 6V DC Output AC Adapter and 4 “AA” size, 1.5V alkaline batteries Note: Please unload the batteries when operating with the AC adapter for an extended period of time. 78 Display Symbols: DISPLAY EXPLANATIONS Date/Time Indicator Systolic Pressure Pulse Rate User 1: Appears when the monitor is operated by User 1. User 2: Appears when the monitor is operated by User 2. Weak Battery Symbol: Appears when batteries should be replaced. Pulse Symbol: Shows the pulse rate per minute. Memory Average: Displays average of last 3 readings Risk Category Indicator: Compares readings against blood pressure guidelines. See page 20 for more information. Diastolic Pressure If and any of the following letters and numbers appear in the area that systolic pressure should be displayed, an error has occurred with your reading. See Troubleshooting section of this manual for more information. Measurement Error: Measure again. Wrap the cuff correctly and keep arm steady during measurement. Air Circuit Abnormality: Check cuff connection. Measure again. Pressure Exceeding 300 mmHg: Turn the unit off to clear, then measure again. Error Determining Measurement Data: Measure again. 9 10 INSTALLING BATTERIES 1. Press down on latch and lift the battery cover to open the battery compartment. 2. Install or replace 4 “AA” sized batteries in the battery compartment according to the indications inside the compartment. 3. Close the battery cover by pushing in the top end of the battery door. Battery Cover Replace the batteries if: 1. The weak battery symbol appears on the display. 2. Nothing appears on the display when the power is switched on. As the supplied batteries are for test only, they may be discharged earlier than batteries you buy in stores. Replace the batteries in pairs. Use only 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Remove batteries when unit is not in use for extended periods of time. Date and time will need to be reset if batteries are removed or replaced. Note: Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose of them together with the household garbage. ...
