• Stop using this monitor and consult with your physician if you experience skin irritation or discomfort.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor on a wrist where intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present because of temporary interference to blood flow which could result in injury.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have had a mastectomy.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can cause bruising.
• DO NOT take measurements more often than necessary because bruising, due to blood flow interference, may occur.
• ONLY inflate the wrist cuff when it is applied to your wrist.
• Remove the wrist cuff if it does not start deflating during a measurement.
• DO NOT use this monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
• During measurement, make sure that no mobile device or any other electrical device that emits electromagnetic fields is within 12 inches (30cm) of this monitor. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
• DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair this monitor or other components. This may cause an inaccurate reading.
• DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of water splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.
• DO NOT use this monitor in a moving vehicle such as in a car.

• Remove tight-fitting or thick clothing and any accessories from your wrist while taking a measurement.
• Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.
• ONLY use this monitor on persons whose wrist circumferences are within the specified range of the cuff.
• Ensure that this monitor has acclimated to room temperature before taking a measurement. Taking a measurement after an extreme temperature change could lead to an inaccurate reading. We recommend waiting for approximately 2 hours for the monitor to warm up or cool down when the monitor is used in an environment within the temperature specified as operating conditions after it is stored either at the maximum or at the minimum storage temperature.

Display and Symbols

Classification of blood pressure by the World Health Organisation

• The World Health Organisation (WHO) made classifications of blood pressure as shown in the following diagram.
• This table displays blood pressure measurements of different people at different postures in the hospital outpatient department as the standard

Notes:

• Low blood pressure has no definition.
• Generally, people whose high-pressure value is not up to 90mmHg(12kPa) are called hypotensive.

Blood Pressure Measurement

Tips

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at the same time each day. Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
• Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over some time.

Caution

• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising, and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.

Using the Monitor

Applying the Wrist Cuff

Note

• The following steps are for applying the wrist cuff to your left wrist. When you take a measurement on your right wrist, apply the wrist cuff using the same steps as on your left wrist.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right wrist and the left wrist, and the measured blood pressure values can be different. Ziqing recommends you always use the same wrist for measurement. If the values between both wrists differ substantially, please check with your physician as to which wrist to use for your measurements.

Caution

• Remove tight-fitting, thick clothing and any accessories from your wrist while taking a measurement.

1. Apply the wrist cuff to your left wrist. Roll up sleeve. Make sure your sleeve is not rolled up too tightly on your arm. This may constrict the flow of blood in your arm.
2. Put your wrist through the cuff loop. Your palm and monitor display should both face upward.
3. Position the wrist cuff leaving a clearance of 0.5 inch (1 to 2 cm) between the cuff and the bottom of your palm.
4. Wrap the wrist cuff firmly around your wrist. Do not apply over clothing. Check to make sure that there is no gap between your wrist and the cuff.

Note

• Make sure the wrist cuff does not cover the protruding part of the wrist bone on the outside of your wrist.
• If the wrist cuff comes out of the metal ring, slide it back through as shown in the figure to the right.

How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated in a room with a comfortable temperature. Place your elbow on the table to support your arm.

• Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit with your back and arm being supported.
• Your monitor must be approximately the same level as your heart. If the monitor is too high above your heart, your blood pressure will be artificially low. If the monitor is too low below your heart, your blood pressure will be artificially high.
• Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench your fist, or bend your wrist forward.

Taking a Measurement

Notes: To stop the measurement, press the START/STOP button once to deflate the wrist cuff.

Remain still and quiet while taking a measurement.

1. Press the START/STOP button. The wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically.
2. Remove the wrist cuff.
3. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off. The monitor automatically stores the measurement result in its memory. It will automatically turn off after 60 seconds.

Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another measurement. Waiting between measurements allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking a measurement.

Error Messages and Troubleshooting

If any of the below problems occur during measurement, check to make sure that no other electrical device is within 12 inches (30 cm). If the problem persists, refer to the table below.
