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 flat on the floor and straighten your back.

Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.

Place the center of the cuff at the same level as your heart.

Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.

Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.

Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.

Measurement

During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be alarmed.)

After Measurement

After measurement, press the START button to turn the device off.

Remove the cuff and record your data.

Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the device off approximately one minute after measurement.

Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same person.

START measurement. Continue to measure your blood pressure as described on the previous page.

Notes for Accurate Measurement

Refer to the previous page for measurement

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place your arm on a table with your palm facing upward and the cuff at the same level as your heart.

Relax for about five to 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.

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 6 for the description of symbols.

This blood pressure monitor 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.

Recalling the Memory Data

Note: This device stores the last 60 measurements in memory.

What is an Irregular Heartbeat

The UA-767S 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.

About Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.

What is Hypertension and How is it Controlled?

Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended, can cause many health problems including stroke and heart attack. Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with medication under a doctor’s supervision.

To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:

Do not smoke Exercise regularly

Reduce salt and fat intake

Maintain proper weight

Have regular physical checkups

Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home?

Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension 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.

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.

Blood Pressure Variations

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.

Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure described in this manual to get to know your normal blood pressure. Regular readings give a more comprehensive blood pressure history. Be sure to note the date and time when recording your blood pressure.

Consult your doctor to interpret your blood pressure data.

Troubleshooting

Nothing appears in the display, even when the device is turned on.

Batteries are drained.

Battery terminals are not in the correct position.

Replace all batteries with new ones.

Reinstall the batteries with negative and positive terminals matching those indicated on the battery compartment.

The cuff does not inflate.

Battery voltage is too low.

(LOW BATTERY mark) blinks. If the batteries are drained completely, the mark does not appear.

The cuff is not applied properly.

You moved your arm or body during measurement.

Replace all batteries with new ones.

Apply the cuff correctly.

The device does not measure.

Readings are too high or too low.

The cuff position is not correct.

Make sure you remain very still and quiet during measurement.

Sit comfortably and still.

Place your arm on a table with your palm facing upward and the cuff at the same level as your heart.

If you have a very weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty in determining your blood pressure.

The value is different from that measured at a clinic or doctor’s office.

Refer to “Why Measure Blood

Pressure at Home?”.

Other

Remove the batteries. Place them back properly and try the measurement again.

Note: If the actions described above do not solve the problem, contact the dealer. Do not attempt to open or repair this product, as any attempt to do so will make your warranty invalid.
