Important Testing Guidelines

1. Avoid eating, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes prior to testing.

2. Sit in a calm environment for at least 5 minutes prior to testing.

3. Do not stand while testing. Sit in a relaxed position while keeping your arm level with your heart.

4. Avoid speaking or moving body parts while testing.

5. While testing, avoid strong electromagnetic interference such as microwave ovens and cell phones.

6. Wait 3 minutes or longer before re-testing.

7. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

8. Test comparisons should only be made when monitor is used on the same arm, in the same position, and at the same time of day.

9. This blood pressure monitor is not recommended for people with severe arrhythmia.

Any blood pressure recording can be affected by the following factors:

1. The position of the subject, his or her physiologic condition;

2. The performance and accuracy of the device;

3. Cuff size: too small cuff (bladder) will produce a higher blood pressure value than usual, too big cuff (bladder) will produce a lower blood pressure value;

4. Measuring position does not keep level with your heart;

5. Speaking or moving body parts while testing;

6. Not relaxing for about 5 minutes before taking the measurement.

Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Firmly insert air plug into opening located on left side of monitor unit.

2. With sticky nylon section facing outward, insert end of cuff underneath metal ring of cuff

3. Fasten cuff about 1-2cm (0.4-0.8’’) above the elbow joint..For best results apply cuff to bare arm and keep level with heart while testing.

Note: Do not insert air plug into opening located on right side of monitor unit.

This opening is designed for an optional power supply only.

Testing

1. Power On

Press and hold “ START/STOP “ button until a beep sounds. The LCD screen will

BP10 Digital Blood Pressure Monitor appear for one second as unit performs a quick diagnosis. A long tone indicates device is ready for testing.

Note: Unit will not function if residual air from previous testing is present in cuff.

The LCD will flash “ “ until pressure is stabilized. .

2. Pressurization

Initial pressure is first pumped to 190 mmHg. If the current user’s systolic blood pressure is over 190mmHg, the unit will automatically re-inflate to the proper shelf.

Note: Pressurization will gradually subside and ultimately stop when cuff is not properly applied to the arm. If this occurs, press “ START/STOP ”button to turm the unit off.

3. Testing

After cuff inflation, air will slowly subside as indicated by the corresponding cuff pressure value. A flashing “ “ will appear simultaneously on screen signaling heart beat detection.

- 10 -

Digital Blood Pressure Monitor BP10

Note: Keep relaxed during testing. Avoid speaking or moving body parts.

4. Result Display

Blood Pressure Information

Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries. It is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg.) Systolic blood pressure is the maximumforce exerted against blood vessel walls each time the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats.

An individual’s blood pressure frequently changes throughout the course of a day.

Excitement and tension can cause blood pressure to rise, while drinking alcohol and bathing can lower blood pressure. Certain hormones like adrenaline (which your body releases under stress) can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a rise in blood pressure.

If these measuring numbers become too high, it means the heart is working harder than it should.

Health Reminder

Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality of life. It can lead to a lot of problems including heart failure, kidney failure, and cerebral hemorrhaging. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visiting your physician on a regular basis, hypertension and relative diseases are much easier to control when diagnosed in their early stages.

- 14 -

Digital Blood Pressure Monitor BP10

Note: Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs. A better indication of an individual’s blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time each day over an extended period of time. Consult your physican if test results remain abnormal.

Blood Pressure Q & A

Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home or at a professional healthcare clinic?

A: Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a more accurate account as they better reflect your daily life. Readings can be elevated when taken in a clinical or medical environment. This is known as White Coat Hypertension and may be caused by feeling anxious or nervous.

Note: Abnormal test results may be caused by:

1. Improper cuff placement

Make sure cuff is snug-not too tight or too loose.

Make sure bottom of the cuff is approximately 1-2cm (1/2’’) above the elbow joint.

2. Improper body position

Make sure to keep your body in an upright position.

3. Feeling anxious or nervous

Take 2-3 deep breaths, wait a few minutes and resume testing.

Q: What causes different readings?

A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day. Many factors including diet, stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect an individual’s blood pressure.

Q: Should I apply the cuff to the left or right arm? What is the difference?

A: Either arm can be used when testing, however, when comparing results, the same arm should be used. Testing on your left arm may provide more accurate results as it is located closer to your heart.

Q: What is the best time of day for testing?

A: Morning time or any time you feel relaxed and stress free.
