Rest your hand, palm-up, on a table as shown at right. Note: Place the cuff at the same level as your heart to obtain accurate measurements. Your heart is located slightly to the right of your left armpit. Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 1/3/08 11:36:35 AM 7. Attach the cuff: Hold the area of the cuff where the hose exits the cuff firmly against the inside of the bare upper arm directly over the brachial artery, and the bottom of the cuff approximately one inch (2-3cm) above the elbow, as shown in the third picture at right. Never place the cuff over clothing. Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the arm and secure with the Velcro® fastener. The cuff should be snug, but not too tight. If one or two fingers can fit between the cuff and the arm, the cuff is properly secured. If you are unable to fit the cuff as described above, a smaller or larger cuff should be used. 1 inch MAIntenAnCe Recommended care and maintenance: Do not drop or pull excessively on monitor components or subject them to strong impact. Do not use monitor close to any device with a strong electrical field such as television, microwave oven, X-Ray equipment, etc. Never inflate cuff above 300mmHg. Never inflate cuff unless it is positioned on an arm. Do not expose the monitor components to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity. Do not put any part of monitor in contact with sharp objects which could pierce the material and cause damage. Do not dismantle or disassemble monitor components. Cleaning Wipe off all components with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or other petroleum-based cleaners. Do not press cuff with a hot iron. Storage Always deflate the cuff completely before storage. Remove the batteries when the device is to be stored for extended periods of time. Note: Removing the batteries will erase all readings in memory. Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 8 Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 707A-INS-LAB-RevC08-book.indd 8 1/3/08 11:36:36 AM 7. If performing measurement for the first time, repeat the measurement two or more times to ensure that you and cuff are positioned correctly and that results are accurate and consistent. Record your results; there is a log provided, with examples, at the end of this manual for this purpose. Always check with your physician to ensure that readings are performed correctly. If you have concerns or questions about your results, always contact your physician. Only your physician is qualified to analyze blood pressure. Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 12 707A-INS-LAB-RevC08-book.indd 9 Measuring blood pressure Symbol key: LCD symbols you may see during measurement Deflating Inflating Measurement error Measuring Low battery 1. Ensure that cuff is properly placed and that you are positioned as described in previous paragraphs. 2. Press the ON/OFF button. All LCD symbols will appear momentarily. If a downward arrow symbol displays, press the exhaust valve button (see earlier labeled picture) located between the inflation bulb and the tube to release the residual pressure from the cuff. Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 1/3/08 11:36:36 AM Note: The low battery symbol will also appear at this time while the monitor checks the power level. This does not indicate that the batteries are low unless the low battery symbol remains on continuously. 3. After "0" displays, pressurize the cuff by squeezing the bulb until the pressure value displayed is 50mmHg above your usual systolic pressure. If you do not know your usual systolic pressure, squeeze the bulb just until 200mmHg displays. 4. The cuff will automatically deflate after you stop pressurizing the cuff. If an upward arrow symbol displays, you must inflate the cuff to a higher pressure than you did the first time. If an upward arrow does not display, the monitor is taking your measurement. Remain calm and still to avoid causing any measurement error. Systolic Diastolic 5. The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse will display in the format shown at right. The device will completely deflate when Pulse rate measurement is finished. To accelerate defla tion, press the exhaust valve button. Labtron Digital Blood Pressure Monitor 10 707A-INS-LAB-RevC08-book.indd 10 Note: To stop measurement in progress for whatever reason, press the exhaust valve button to release the pressure and turn off the device. Note: If during measurement the power drops to an insufficient level, the device will end the measurement and display the low battery symbol. Replace the batteries and repeat the measurement. Note: If the device cannot detect your pulse, it will end the measurement. Wait several minutes, ensure that you and the cuff are positioned properly, and try again. 6. The device will automatically shut off three minutes after completing a reading, or you may turn it off manually by pressing the ON/OFF button.
