Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure

If your systolic pressure is expected to

exceed 230 mmHg, use this procedure.

(preferably the left arm).

2. Press and hold the

display the last data number.

3. Press and hold the

again until a number about 30 to 40

mmHg higher than your expected

systolic pressure appears.

4. Release the

measurement, when the desired number

is reached. Then continue to measure

your blood pressure as described on the

previous page.

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 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.

An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are doing

and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect

on your blood pressure.

This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak or

irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your blood pressure.

Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the measurement

and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4 for the description of the symbols.

This device is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician before

using this device on a child. A child should not use this device unattended.
