IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES AND SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using your blood pressure monitor, basic

precautions should always be followed. Please

read and follow all instructions and warnings before

using this product. Save these instructions for future

reference.

measurements. Contact your physician if you have

or suspect any medical problem.

Do not change your medications without the advice

of your physician or healthcare professional.

• Propercuffsizeiscriticalforaccurate

Blood pressure measurements determined with this

device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained

observer using the cuff/stethoscope ausculatory

method, within the limits prescribed by the American

National Standard, Manual, electronic, or automated

sphygmomanometers.

Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in

Adults

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.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on

the artery walls while blood flows through the

arteries. The pressure measured when the heart

contracts and sends blood out of the heart is

systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure

measured when the heart dilates with blood

flowing back into the heart

is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

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.

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.

Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)

Stage 2 Hypertension >160 >100

Stage 1 Hypertension 140~159 90~99

Prehypertension 120~139 80~89

Normal <120 <80

NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART

USING THE ARM CUFF

Very Important: Proper cuff size is critical to

accurate measurement.

This monitor is equipped with a Standard Size

arm cuff that fits arms with circumferences

of 8.25”–14.2” (21 cm – 36 cm). Measure the

circumference of your upper arm to ensure

that it falls within this range. If an alternative

cuff size is needed, you may contact

HoMedics Consumer Relations for more

information.

1. If the cuff is not assembled, pass the end of

the cuff furthest away from the tubing through

the metal D-ring in order to form a loop. The

smooth side without the felt material should

be on the inside of the cuff l oop.

2. Open the arm cuff so that your arm may be

placed through it.

3. Remove tight fitting clothing from around

your upper left arm.

4. Position cuff edge 0.6-1.0 inches (1.5-2.5 cm)

above elbow.

5. Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens

evenly around your arm. Press the hook

and loop material together to secure.

Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the

cuff and your arm.

6. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the

cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make

sure the tube is not kinked.

NOTE: If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm,

it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all

measurements should be made using the same arm.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:

•Bloodpressurechangeswitheveryheartbeatandisin

constant fluctuation throughout the day.

•Bloodpressuremeasurementcanbeaffectedbythe

position of the user, his or her physiologic condition

and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour

after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages

with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood

pressure.

•Beforemeasurement,itissuggestedthatyousit

quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during

a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should

not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a

measurement.

•Duringthemeasurement,donottalkormoveyourarm

or hand muscles.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING YOUR BLOOD

PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

•Takeyourreadinginacomfortableenvironment

as measurements can be affected by hot or cold

temperatures. Take your blood pressure at normal body

temperature.

•Do not move or talk during measurement as this can

elevate readings.

•Do not move or cross legs during measurement. Keep

feet flat on floor.

•Donottouchcufforstethoscopemicrophoneduring

measurement procedure.

•Itissuggestedthatyoutakeyourmeasurements

at the same time each day and use the same arm for

consistency.

•Usersshouldwaitaminimumof5minutesbefore

taking additional measurements. More time may be

necessary depending upon your physiology.

• The measurement results that users receive are for

reference only. If users have any blood pressure

concerns, please consult a physician.

1. Position pressure cuff

•Whethersittingorlying,besurethatyourarmrests

at the same level as your heart.

•Turnthecuffsothatthestethoscopemicrophoneison

theinsideofthearmjustabovetheelbow.Thislocates

it over the large artery near the hollow of the elbow.

(This artery can be also found by feeling for the pulse

of the artery.)

•Grasptheendofthecuffandpullitsnug,thenwrapit

around and over your arm, pressing together with hook

and loop tape to bind the cuff securely.

2. Inflate the cuff

•Feelthepulseofthearterywithyourfingertipstobe

sure the stethoscope microphone is directly over it.

•Inserttheearpiecesofthestethoscope(adjustby

turning earpieces to fit comfortably in your ears).

•Holdthegaugeinyourlefthandorclipontotheloop

provided for reading.

•Closetheair-flowvalveonthebulb(turnclockwise).DO

NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

•Inflatethecuffbyrepeatedlysqueezingthebulbwith

your right hand.

•Listentothepulsebeatwhileinflatingthecuff.Watch

the gauge.

•Whenyoucannolongerhearthepulsebeat,raisethe

pressure an additional 30mm.

3. Slowly deflate the cuff

•Slowlyopentheair-flowvalvebyturningcounter

clockwise so that the pressure drops 2-4mmHg with

each beat of your heart. (This will usually mean a drop

of one to two marks on the gauge every second.)

•Therateofdeflationisimportantforaccuratereading.

CAUTION: Do not leave cuff inflated for too long as

the inflated cuff has shut off blood flow to the arm.

4. Determine Systolic pressure

•Afteropeningtheair-flowvalve,listencarefullyforapulse

beat. The moment you hear the faint rhythmic tapping or

thumping sound of the pulse beat, note the reading on

the gauge. This is your systolic (highest number) blo od

pressure.

•Itmaybedifferentatfirstforyoutodetectthesounds

of the pulse beat, listen carefully and acquaint yourself

with these unfamiliar sounds. You should also notice

the needle on the gauge “bounce” when your systolic

pressure is reached.

5. Determine Diastolic pressure

•Allowthepressuretocontinuedroppingatthesamerate

as before 2-4mmHg per second. Listen carefully with the

stethoscope. The sounds you hear will change phases.

•Fromthefirstsharptaggingorthud,theywillsoftento

blowing or swishing sounds.

•Watchthefallingneedle.Attheexactpointwhenyoucan

no longer hear the sounds, read the gauge. This is your

diastolic (lower) blood pressure reading.
