Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method”—a non-invasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to the measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat. The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The inflation speed is maximized and the pressure level is optimized by the device. The monitor takes measurements while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in a faster measurement providing greater comfort to the user. BEFORE YOU START You must install 4 type “AA” (1.5 volt) batteries, or use the AC adapter (see Pg. E-10 for Using the Monitor with AC Adapter), and attach the cuff to the monitor before using. To install batteries (or replace them if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on display), proceed as follows: 1. Remove battery compartment cover by gently pushing down on arrow and sliding cover down. 2. Put in top row of batteries first. Place batteries in the compartment with positive (+) and negative (-) terminals matching those indicated in the compartment. Make sure the batteries make contact with the compartment terminals. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 3. Replace cover by sliding and gently pressing down. E- 4 ? LifeSource Health Line Free): 1-888-726- SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow. ARM SIZE RECOMMENDED CUFF SIZE REPLACEMENT CUFF MODEL# 7.5” - 14.2” (19-36cm) EasyCuff ™ Feature** UA-380 5.1” - 7.9” (13-20cm) Small Cuff UA-279 7.5” - 12.2” (19-31cm) Medium Cuff UA-280 11.8” - 17.7” (30-45cm) Large Cuff UA-281 **The EasyCuff feature is a semi-hard shell cuff which provides easy placement on your upper arm. The UA-787 comes with the EasyCuff feature. If arm circumference is greater than 14.2”(36 cm) or smaller than 7.5”(19 cm), you will need to purchase the proper size cuff to ensure correct measurement. If this is the case, please call A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada - 1-800-463-5414). Cuff Size Indicator On The Cuff Our cuff has an indicator which tells you whether you are using the correct cuff or not. Place the cuff on your arm (see Pg. E-6 to learn how to put the cuff on correctly) and if the Index Mark points within the Proper Fit Range, you are using the correct cuff. If the Index points outside of the Proper Fit Range, contact A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada - 1-800-replacement.

Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm. Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure. Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps: 1. Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface so that the center of your upper arm is at the same height as your heart. 2. Lay left arm on the table with palm up. Place the semi-hard shell cuff on upper arm with the tube facing downward and toward the inside of your arm. Fasten cuff securely with the hook and loop fastener strap. 3. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm. Cuff Hose 4. Press the START button. Remain still and do not talk.

It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the START button again. 6. When inflation is complete, deflation starts automatically and the . blinks, indicating that the measurement is in progress. Once the pulse is detected, the mark flashes with each pulse beat. Note: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device automatically starts to inflate again. 7. When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed. SYSTOLIC DIASTOLIC PULSE The cuff deflates and the monitor automatically after 45 seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing the START button. 8.
