Classification of Blood Pressure by the WHO:
The World Health Organization the Inter-national Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown as below.
(WHO) and 3 Warning
If the event of the cuff pumping up and not stopping, please open the cuff at once.
Do not measure repeatedly for a long period of time.
This device is not supposed to be used if your wrist has any wound or injury.
If locks connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to intra-vascular fluid systems, which case may allow air to be pumped into a blood vessel.
Take batteries out of the housing if the unit is not to be used for a long time.
Do not use different type, date or brand-name batteries, and this may lead to an incorrect reading.
Leaving the batteries in the blood pressure monitor for a long period and not using the device may damage the main unit. Suggestions before Measuring Blood Pressure 1. It is recommend that persons has one of the diseases as heart troubles, kidney trouble, hyper-tension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis or frustration problem of blood vessel, please consult your physician before and during using the blood pressure monitor to determine if your wrist blood pressure accurately reflects your actual blood pressure. 2. Please sit or lie down for at least 5-10 minutes before taking a measurement. 3. Avoid eating, smoking, exercising, bathing and drinking
(alcohol/caffeine/or tea) for at least 20-30 minutes before taking a measurement, and avoid talking during a measurement. 4. Be sure the wrist cuff is at the same level as your heart. 4 5. Stress raises blood pressure. Keep calms and relax yourself during a measurement. 6. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurements. 7. Keep the records for your physician as reference. Reminded that one measurement does not provide you with real blood pressure value, only long-term records will reveal the long-term trend of your blood pressure. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency. Device Descriptions 5 Description of Control Buttons

Insert the air plug of the arm cuff into the air jack of the blood pressure monitor. 2. The cuff should be assembled correctly when it is removed from the box. If it is not, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop. 3. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the sewn hook 8 material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will not touch your skin. 4. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2 above the elbow. The cuff tubing should be positioned along the middle of the inside of your arm as shown. 5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm. 6. When the cuff is positioned correctly, press the sewn hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff. 7. The cuff should be wrapped so that it fits snugly and stays in place. You should be able to fit one finger 9 between the cuff and your arm. Correct Measurement Position It is extremely important for the measure values, which that the cuff is at the same level of the heart. Higher or deeper position will give deviations from the true value. Measurement while sitting down 1. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and rest your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. 2. Relax your arm and turn your palm upward. 3. Make sure there are no kinks in the air tubing. 4. After taking deep breaths for several times before measurement, take a natural breath, and then relax your body.
