or patient or damage to the equipment or other property.

Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.

Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous.

Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.

DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this blood

pressure monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. Only

a physician is qualified to diagnose and treat High Blood Pressure.

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

literature in the box before operating the unit.

Failure to assemble the parts correctly may result in injury or an incorrect

reading.

Make sure the metal D-ring does not pinch your skin.

This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure in the adult

population.

Before you put the stethoscope binaural in your ears make sure the eartips

are securely fastened to the binaural.

Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other

purpose.

Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories according to

UNIT ASSEMBLY

HOW TO FOLD THE CUFF

The cuff should already be folded through the metal D-ring when

you remove the cuff from the box. If the cuff is not prefolded, lay

the cuff flat in front of you. Place the metal D-ring on your left.

The stethoscope faces up. Pull the end of the cuff through the metal

D-ring. When the cuff is folded correctly, the hook and pile material

faces the outside of the cuff loop.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE UNIT

Lay the parts out as illustrated on the next page. Refer to the illustration

to help you put the unit together.

Follow these four easy steps:

1Attach the gauge to tubing on the left.

2Attach the inflation bulb to the tubing on the right.

3Attach the single end of the Y-tubing to the stethoscope chestpiece.

4Attach the double end of the Y-tubing to the binaural.

1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing

for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15

minutes before taking the measurement.

2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurement during

stressful times.

3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

302390_HEM-18_Q7_E_SP_r2.qxd:301215 HEM-18 IM A 12/3/10 3:36 PM Page

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

1. Make sure the parts are securely and correctly assembled.

2. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on a

table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Remain still

and do not talk during the measurement.

3. Remove tight fitting clothing from your left arm.

CAUTION: Failure to assemble the parts correctly may result in

injury or an incorrect reading.

4. Press two fingers one inch above the bend of

your elbow on the inside of your arm. You may

feel the pulse of the brachial artery. Even if

you do not feel your pulse, the stethoscope will

allow you to hear the pulse sounds.

5. Slip the cuff up your arm. Place the bottom

edge of the cuff one-half inch above the

elbow. Adjust the cuff so the chestpiece

sits on the inside of the arm over your

brachial artery.

6. Pull the end of the cuff downward until the

cuff fits snugly.

CAUTION: Make sure the metal D-ring

does not pinch your skin.

Press the hook material firmly against the pile

material. Make sure the chestpiece sits over the

brachial artery.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

7. Place your arm on a table so the cuff is at the

same level as your heart.

CAUTION: Before you put the stethoscope

binaural in your ears make sure the

eartips are securely fastened to the binaural.

8. Insert the eartips into your ears. Adjust the metal binaural for

comfort.

9. Clip the gauge to a hard cover book on the table

in front of you. Hold the inflation bulb in your

right hand. Close the air deflation valve attached

to the inflation bulb by turning the valve clockwise.

10. To inflate the cuff, slowly and steadily pump the inflation bulb.

NOTE: If you know your systolic reading, pump the inflation bulb

until the needle on the gauge reaches approximately 50

mmHg above your average systolic reading. If you do not

know your systolic reading, pump the inflation bulb until the

needle on the gauge reaches 180 mmHg.

CAUTION: DO NOT inflate the cuff above

280 mmHg. You may damage the

unit or cause personal injury. If you

are unsure, consult your healthcare

provider for the correct inflation

level.

302390_HEM-18_Q7_E_SP_r2.qxd:301215 HEM-18 IM A 12/3/10 3:36 PM Page

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

11. Slowly open the air deflation valve

by turning it counterclockwise.

Release the air at a rate of 2 mmHg

per second.

12. Listen carefully for your pulse beat.

Watch the gauge needle. When you

hear the first thumping sound note

the reading on the gauge.

This is your SYSTOLIC blood

pressure value.

13. When you no longer hear any sounds note the reading on the gauge.

This is your DIASTOLIC blood pressure value.

14. Turn the air deflation valve counterclockwise to release the

remainder of the air. Remove the stethoscope binaural from your

ears. Remove the cuff from your arm. Record your reading in the

Blood Pressure Log.

NOTE: If you make a mistake, do not immediately reinflate the cuff.

Release all the air in the cuff.

Wait 5 minutes. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the

condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your new blood pressure monitor has been carefully checked to ensure

reliability and accuracy prior to shipment and use. As with any sensitive

instrument subjected to repeated use, the manufacturer recommends your

blood pressure gauge be checked annually by a medical professional for

proper calibration. The unit is properly calibrated when the needle

rests at zero.

To keep your blood pressure monitor in the best condition and protect

the unit from damage follow the directions listed below:

Avoid washing or moistening the cuff. Never immerse any of the

parts in water.

Store the monitor in a safe and dry location. Do not fold the cuff and

tubing tightly.

Avoid subjecting the instrument to strong shocks, such as dropping the

gauge on the floor or hitting the surface of the stethoscope. When the

cuff is fully deflated, the needle stays within the zero indicator on the

gauge. If the needle points outside of the zero indicator the gauge gives

inaccurate readings. Return the unit to the manufacturer for calibration.

Use the unit consistent with the instruction provided in this manual.

Use only authorized parts and accessories.
