Tip: For most accurate results, rest for 5 minutes before first measurement.

Taking a Measurement

Follow these steps for a proper reading.

1. Sit comfortably on a chair with back support, feet flat on the floor.
2. Place your left arm (recommended) on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
3. Wrap the cuff around your bare upper arm. The bottom edge should be 2-3 cm above the elbow. The artery mark (◯) should align with the brachial artery.
4. Secure the cuff snugly with the Velcro.
5. Press the START/STOP button. The monitor will inflate automatically.
6. Remain still and quiet during inflation and measurement.
7. The measurement is complete when the cuff deflates fully and results are displayed.
8. Press START/STOP to turn off, or it will power off automatically after 1 minute.

WARNING! Do not move or talk during measurement. Do not over-tighten the cuff.

Understanding the Display

Interpret the symbols and values on the LCD.

Memory Function

Review and manage stored readings.

1. View Memory: Press the Memory (M) button. The most recent reading for the selected user appears.
2. Scroll: Press M again to scroll through previous readings in chronological order.
3. Average: After displaying all readings, the screen will show the average of the last 3 readings taken in the morning or evening (if applicable to model).
4. Clear Memory: To delete all readings for the current user, press and hold the M button while in memory mode until "CLR" appears. Release to confirm.

Note: Memory is separate for User 1 and User 2. Ensure correct user is selected.

AFIB Detection

The device screens for signs of atrial fibrillation.

• If the AFIB symbol appears with your reading, it means the monitor detected a pulse rhythm consistent with possible AFIB during the measurement.
• This is a screening result, not a medical diagnosis.
• If you see this symbol repeatedly, consult your physician and share the readings.
• The technology is designed to detect AFIB during blood pressure measurement with high sensitivity.

Important: The absence of the AFIB symbol does not guarantee the absence of AFIB or other arrhythmias.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures longevity and accuracy.

1. Cleaning: Wipe the monitor and cuff with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use solvents.
2. Storage: Store in the provided case in a cool, dry place. Do not bend the air tube sharply.
3. Batteries: Replace all 4 batteries when the low battery icon appears. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
4. Cuff: The cuff is not washable. Keep it clean and dry. Check for wear or cracks periodically.
5. Accuracy Check: Have the monitor's accuracy verified by a healthcare professional every 2 years.
