Installing the batteries 1. Remove the battery holder cover. 2. Place two batteries (LR03 or AAA) in the holder, with positive (+) and negative (-) terminals matching those indicated in the holder. 3. Replace the battery holder cover until it is locked.
Using the Monitor 2. Fastening the cuff 1. Wrap the cuff around your wrist, about 1 cm above your hand, as shown in the figure at the right. 2. Fasten the cuff tightly using the Velcro strip. Note: For proper measurements, fasten the cuff tightly and measure on a bare wrist. 3. How to take proper measurements For the most accurate blood pressure measurement: • • • • • Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table. Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns off the power automatically one minute after measurement. Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person. Measurements Note: The UB-328, once used, will provide an inflation appropriate to the user, based on the previous measurement. If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 150 mmHg, read "For those whose systolic pressure is over 150 mmHg" on page 7. 1.
4. When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed. The cuff exhausts the remaining air and deflates completely. 5. Press the START button again to turn off the monitor. Remove the cuff. Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function. Allow at least ten minutes between measurements on the same person. Measurements For those whose systolic pressure is over 150 mmHg 1. Fasten the cuff around your wrist.
Recalling Average Reading The UB-328 provides an average blood pressure reading based on the total measurements stored in memory. Press and release the Memory (“M”) button to see the average blood pressure reading. The average blood pressure reading will appear and the number of measurements stored in memory appear for approximately five seconds. Recalling Memory Data The UB-328 automatically stores up to 30 blood pressure and pulse measurements in its memory.
What Is An Irregular Heartbeat? Model UB-328 blood pressure monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is important that you are relaxed, remain still and do not talk during measurements. Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this indicator frequently. About Blood Pressure 1.
• Maintain proper weight. • Exercise regularly. • Have regular physical checkups. 3. Why measure blood pressure at home? Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension or fear and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history. 4.
About Blood Pressure 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. Normally, the blood pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep. So, do not be overly concerned by the results of one measurement.
Troubleshooting Problem Probable cause Corrective action Nothing appears in the display, even when the power is turned on. Batteries are drained. 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. Battery terminals are not in the correct Place the batteries with negative and positive terminals position. Batteries are not installed matching those indicated in the holder.
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.
