With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow. ARM SIZE RECOMMENDED CUFF SIZE REPLACEMENT CUFF MODEL# 5.1” - 7.9” (13-20cm) Small UA-279 7.5” - 12.2” (19-31cm) Medium UA-280 11.8” - 17.7” (30-45cm) Large UA-281 BULB HOSE CUFF HOSE MONITOR PRESSURE AND PULSE DISPLAY AIR SOCKET SYSTOLIC DIASTOLIC (PULSE) POWER DIGITAL BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR MEASURING PRESS EXHAUST RE-MEASURE BATTERY LOW RE-MEASURE POWER BUTTON The air connector is attached to the cuff and inflator bulb tubing. Attach this into the back of the monitor. When changing the cuff size, the exhaust velocity may need to be adjusted (see page 11). LifeSource Health Line (Toll-Free): 1-888-726-9966 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring: . Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement. . 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, palm up and thread cuff end through metal loop, smooth side against arm. Then position the tube off- center toward the inner side of arm in line with the little finger. 3. Pull the end of the cuff to tighten it, fold back the extra material, and fasten securely. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm. . IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day. LifeSource Health Line (Toll-Free): 1-888-726-9966 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE . IMPORTANT: Measure pressure at the same time each day. 4. Press the POWER button. 5. Watch for all display symbols to appear briefly, followed by a zero, indicating that monitor is ready for measurement. 6. Watch the display and squeeze the bulb quickly until cuff pressure reaches about 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg above expected systolic pressure. To help you determine the correct inflation level, the monitor is programmed to beep quickly three times at each of the four preset pressure levels (160, 200, 240, and 280). We recommend using the chart shown below to determine which preset measurement to use. If the “re-measure“ symbol appears, pressure is not sufficient for reading and measurement must be taken again. Usual Systolic Inflate to Up to 130 160 131-170 200 171-210 240 211-250 280 NOTE: Beeping sound may be difficult to hear due to its pitch. Watch the display for the correct inflation level. Be sure to completely deflate the cuff before use. LifeSource Health Line (Toll-Free): 1-888-726-9966 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 7. Sit quietly during measurement. Pressure values are displayed at left, then right, along with . symbol blinks and beeps with pulse beat. NOTE: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the exhaust valve to release air. 8. Wait for the long beep, indicating that the measurement is complete. Your systolic pressure will appear on the left and your diastolic pressure on the right of the display screen, alternating with pulse reading. 9. Press the exhaust valve to release the air from the cuff. The monitor shuts off automatically in about two minutes, or press POWER to shut off. LifeSource Health Line (Toll-Free): 1-888-726-9966 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 10.Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure and pulse rate on the chart (see page 16), indicating date and time of measurement. We advise that you record the date and time after each measurement because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings but on a pattern over time. NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure again, relax and wait 5–10 minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return to normal. There is no need to wait if someone else wishes to use the monitor. LifeSource Health Line (Toll-Free): 1-888-726-9966 CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY CHECK/ADJUST EXHAUST VELOCITY Exhaust velocity is the rate at which the air pressure in the cuff deflates during the course of measurement. It is preset at the factory and generally does not need any further adjustment. NOTE: The exhaust rate of your monitor was preset and tested at the factory to ensure proper measurement. The rate set is dependent on cuff size, not arm size. If using a cuff other than the one shipped with the unit, you may need to adjust the exhaust velocity rate. To check the exhaust velocity rate, proceed as follows: 1. Put on the arm cuff. 2. Press the POWER button. The unit will begin taking a reading. 3. When zero appears, inflate the cuff by squeezing the handheld inflator bulb. Pump it until it shows a pressure level 40 mmHg higher than your usual systolic measurement.
