? HOW UA-705 WORKS LifeSource® blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any 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.
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. RECOMMENDED CUFF SIZE ARM SIZE REPLACEMENT CUFF MODEL# 9.4” - 14.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring: ☞ Relax for about 5 minutes before measurement. ☞ Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to measurement. ☞ Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm. ☞ Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure. ☞ Do not talk during measurement. ☞ Do not cross legs and keep you feet flat on floor during measurement. Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps: 1.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 5. Press the START button. Your average blood pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements stored in memory (i.e. A25 = total of 25 measurements stored in memory) and a flashing symbol, indicating that monitor is ready for measurement. NOTE: If the symbol is displayed, the cuff has some air trapped in it. Press the exhaust valve button until the symbol is displayed.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 8. When the correct pressurization has been reached, the automatic exhaust mechanism will gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff. Sit quietly during measurement. The ❤ symbol will blink with your pulse beat. NOTE: Exhaust rate cannot be adjusted during measurement. If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the exhaust valve to release the pressure in the cuff. 9.
WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT The UA-705 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The Irregular Heartbeat symbol will appear in the display window in the event an Irregular Heartbeat has occurred during measurement. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement.
ABOUT AVERAGE READING The UA-705 provides an average blood pressure reading based on the total measurements stored in memory. the start button is pushed, the average blood pressure reading will appear and the number of measurements stored in memory will flash several times before the monitor is ready for inflation. ABOUT PRESSURE RATING INDICATOR™ The Pressure Rating Indicator™ is a feature which provides a snapshot of your blood pressure classification based on your measurements.
