Dear Customers Congratulations on purchasing a state-of-the-art A&D blood pressure monitor, one of the most advanced monitors available today. Designed for ease of use and accuracy, this monitor will facilitate your daily blood pressure regimen. We recommend that you read through this manual carefully before using the device for the first time. Preliminary Remarks This device conforms to the European Directive 93/42 EEC for Medical Products. This is made evident by the mark of conformity.
When reusing the device, confirm that the device is clean. Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to the device. To measure blood pressure, the wrist must be squeezed by the cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary red mark to the wrist. This condition will appear especially when measurement is repeated successively. Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.

Full Battery The battery power indicator during measurement. Replace all batteries with new ones when the indicator blinks.
Operation Mode 1. Normal Measurement Press the START button. Blood pressure is measured and the data is stored in memory. This device can store the last 90 measurements in memory. 2. Recalling the Memory Data Measurements stored in memory are assigned an index number in the order of the newest to the oldest. The oldest reading displays as “n01”. 1. Press the MEMORY button. You will see the average blood pressure displayed. 2. Press the MEMORY button again.
Using the Monitor Installing / Changing the Batteries Step 2 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Remove the used batteries and insert new batteries into the battery compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+ and -) ae correct. Use only LR03 or AAA batteries. 3.

Note: For proper measurements, fasten the cuff tightly and measure on a bare wrist. About 1 cm How to Take Accurate Measurements For the most accurate blood pressure measurement: • Sit comfortably on a chair. Rest your arm on the table. Do not cross your legs. Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back.
Measurements Before measurement, read “Notes for Accurate Measurement” on page 11. Normal Measurement 1. Sit comfortably with the cuff at the same level as your heart and relax. 2. Press the START button. All of the display segments are displayed. Then the display changes, as indicated in the figure at the right, as measurement begins. The cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the START button again. 3.
Measurements For Those Whose Systolic Pressure is Over 150 mmHg 1. Wrap the cuff around your wrist. Raise your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. 2. Press and hold the START button until a number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure appears. 3. When the desired number is reached, release the START button. Measurement will begin. Note: The operation above is required only when you measure your blood pressure for the first time.
Recalling the Average Reading The UB-351 provides an average blood pressure reading based on the total measurements stored in memory. Press the MEMORY (“M”) button to see the average blood pressure reading. The average blood pressure reading and the number of measurements stored in memory will appear. Average Number of measurements stored in memory Recalling the Memory Data The UB-351 automatically stores up to 90 blood pressure and pulse measurements in memory.
What is an Irregular Heartbeat? Model UB-351 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 symbol frequently.
WHO Classification Indicator Each six segments of the bar indicator correspond to the WHO blood pressure classification described on the next page. Example WHO Classification Indicator Moderate Mild High Severe hypertension hypertension hypertension normal Moderate hypertension Mild hypertension High normal Normal Optimal : The indicator displays a segment, based on the current data, corresponding to the WHO classification.
To prevent hypertension or keep it under control: Do not smoke Exercise regularly Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups Maintain proper weight Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home? WHO Blood Pressure Classification Standards to assess high blood pressure, without regard to age, have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart at the right.
