ENGLISH Dear Customers Congratulations. You have purchased an A&D blood pressure monitor, one of the most technologically advanced, yet easy to use products available in the marketplace today. We strongly recommend you read this instruction manual carefully prior to using it the first time. General Information This device conforms to the European Directive 93/42/EEC for Medical Products. This is evidenced by the mark of conformity (0366: The reference number of a designated authority).

Using the Monitor 1. Installing / changing the batteries Remove the battery cover and insert new batteries into the battery compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+) and (-) are observed. Use only R6P, LR6, AA or similar type batteries. • Insert the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. If not, the device will not work. • When (LOW BATTERY mark) appears in the display, replace all batteries with new ones at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Using the Monitor 3. Attaching the arm cuff Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 2-3 cm above the elbow, as shown. Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse, and result in a measurement error. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a shirt sleeve, may prevent accurate readings. 4. How to take proper measurements For the most accurate blood pressure measurement: • Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table.
Measurements 1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm). 2. Set the PRESSURE switch to a value that will be 30 to 40 mmHg above the expected systolic value and press the START button. • When the START button is pressed, all of the display symbols will appear for about one second. • When the " 0 " is flashing, the device is calibrating its zero point. If there is still some air in the arm cuff, it will be exhausted at this time. • The micro pump will then pressurize the cuff.
Measurements • Remain still while the device is in operation. • When a measurement is made with insufficient pressure, the device will pump again to a higher pressure. 4. When the measurement is complete, the buzzer sounds and the air is automatically released from the cuff. The systolic pressure, the diastolic pressure readings, and the pulse rate are displayed. 5. Turning the power off Press the START button to turn the power off. The device will remain in standby mode. 6.
Measurements • Accurate measurement cannot be made if the exhaust velocity is outside the range of 2 to 5 mmHg. This can be determined by watching the display each time the "Measurement in Progress" mark flashes. Note the reading as the "Measurement in Progress" mark flashes. Notes for proper measurement Sit in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.
About Blood Pressure 1. What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before taking food or drink. 2.
About Blood Pressure 4. WHO blood pressure classification Standards for assessment of high blood pressure, without regard to age, have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart below. 5. Blood pressure variations An individual’s blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis. It may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In hypertensive individuals, variations are even more pronounced.
Troubleshooting Problem Probable cause Corrective action Nothing appears Batteries are drained. in the display, even when the Battery terminals are not in power is turned the correct position. on. Replace all batteries with new ones. The cuff will not inflate. Battery voltage is too low. ( , LOW BATTERY mark appears). If the batteries are drained, the mark does not appear. Replace all batteries with new ones. The device will not measure. Readings are too high or too low.
Maintenance Do not open the device. It uses delicate electronic components and an intricate air unit that could be damaged. If you can not fix the problem using the troubleshooting instructions, request service from your supplier or from the A&D service group. The A&D service group will provide technical information, spare parts and units to authorized suppliers.
