Fuzzy Logic Measuring Technology This Physio Logic™ monitor uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air pressure. Your Physio Logic™ monitor will determine the appropriate inflation level based on one's pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deflation.
Blood Pressure Standard The Joint National Committee on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood pressure has developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high risk blood pressure are identified. This standard is a guideline as blood pressure varies among different people and different age groups... It is important that you consult with your physician regularly.
Before Taking a Measurement To help you obtain more accurate readings: • Urinate if necessary. • Remove any clothing and jewellery from your left arm. Placing the cuff on anything other than bare skin can result in an inaccurate reading. • Sit in a comfortable position with your legs and ankles uncrossed and your back supported. • Sit quietly for 15 minutes before measuring your blood pressure. • If you need to retake a reading, wait at least 5 minutes to allow your circulation to return to normal.

Display Explanation Date / Time indicator Systolic pressure Blood pressure classification risk indicator Weak battery mark Diastolic pressure Pulse rate Memory sequence number Pulse mark Appears when measurement value is stored in memory or is recalled from memory Pulse Mark: Shows the pulse rate per minute. Appears when batteries should be replaced. Measurement Error (user’s pressure exceeding 250 mmHg or lower than 40 mmHg): Measure again quietly. Keep wrist and arm steady during measurement.
Installing Batteries 1. Press down and lift the battery cover in the direction of the arrow to open the battery compartment. 2. Install or replace 4 “AA” 1.5 V Alkaline batteries according to the indication inside the compartment. 3. Replace the battery cover by inserting the bottom tabs first, then push in the top end of the battery cover. Replace batteries when: 1. Low battery icon appears on display. 2. The On / Off / Start button is pushed and nothing appears on display. Using the AC Adapter 1.
Recalling Memory 1. To read memory values, press the "M" key. The memory values will be shown on the LCD display. The average measurement will be shown first and a new press of the “M” key will show the last measurement. 2. Every new press of the “M” key calls for one prior value stored. Clear Values from Memory 1. Press and hold the “M” key for approximately 5 seconds to clear the data. Note: The data may be lost if the batteries are removed.
Time Adjustment 1. To adjust the date / time in the monitor, press the Set key . The display will show a blinking number showing the month. 2. Change the month by pressing the “ ” Key. Each press will increase the number by one in a cycling manner. Press the Set Key again to confirm the entry, and the screen will show a blinking number representing the date. 3. Change the date, the hour, and the minute as described in Step 2 above, using the “ ” Key to change and the Set Key to confirm the entries. 4.
Applying the Arm Cuff 1. Insert the cuff’s connecting tube into the unit. 2. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the “Index” end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff. 3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. Position the artery mark ( ) at the middle of your arm above the elbow, in line with your middle finger. Tighten the cuff by pulling the “Index” end of the cuff (snug, not tight). 4. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 2 to 3 cm (0.8” - 1.
Taking a Measurement 1. Press the On / Off / Start button. All displays will appear for approximately one second before returning to “0”. 2. The unit will automatically inflate to the appropriate inflation level based on the user’s pulse oscillations. Measurement will then begin. 3. When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic and pulse will show simultaneously and be saved automatically in the memory system. Up to 90 memories can be saved. 4. Measurement is now completed.
Blood Pressure Classification Risk Indicator The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, classifying blood pressure ranges into 4 stages. This unit is equipped with a blood pressure classification indicator, which promptly indicates the risk level (prehypertension / stage 1 hypertension / stage 2 hypertension) of the result after each measurement on the LCD display. Prehypertension Sys. 120-139 Dia.
Troubleshooting Symptom: No display when the On / Off / Start button is pressed. Correction: If the batteries have run down, replace them with new alkaline batteries. If the batteries are not in the correct position, re-insert them with the correct polarities. Symptom: EE mark shown on display or the blood pressure value is displayed excessively low (high). Correction: Wrap the cuff properly so that it is positioned correctly. If you talked or moved during the measurement, measure again quietly.
Data Transfer to PC Data transfer accessories: 1. Physio Logic® BP Manager software CD-Rom (PC compatible) Note: The BP Manager software must be used with Windows 2000 or XP operating systems. 2. USB cable. BP Manager software installation: Place the BP Manager CD-Rom in your computer’s CD-Rom drive and follow instructions on screen. If the installer does not start, double-click the CD-Rom icon, then double-click on “Setup.exe”. To upload data to the PC: 1.
