It may cause the battery life to be shortened, or the device to malfunction. • (LOW BATTERY mark) does not appear when the batteries are drained. • Battery life varies with ambient temperature and may be shorter at low temperatures.
3. How to Take Proper Measurements For best accuracy in 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. • Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement. • Raise your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. • Remain still and keep quiet during measurement. • Do not measure immediately after physical exercise or a bath.
Measurements Note: The UB-511, once used, will provide an inflation appropriate to the user. 1. Sit comfortably with the cuff at the same level as your heart and relax. 2. Press the START button. The average recorded blood pressures and data number are displayed briefly. Then the display changes as indicated in the figure on 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.
Measurements Notes For Proper Measurement Sit down 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. Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
What Is An Irregular Heartbeat? Model UB-511 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 be relaxed, remain still and do not talk during measurements. Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this indicator 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 on the right.
