User manual LUMISCOPE MODEL 1130

[. . . ] Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure. Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. [. . . ] The unit will automatically inflate to the appropriate inflation level based on the user's pulse oscillations. It is important to remain still and quiet during measurement. Any significant movement may affect measurement results. When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic and pulse will be shown simultaneously and be saved automatically in memory system. Up to 60 measurement readings can be saved in memory. Press the ON/OFF/START button to turn off the power. If no button is pressed, the unit will shut off automatically in one minute. Recalling Memory 1. To recall stored blood pressure readings from memory, simply press the Memory button. The last set of memorized readings will be displayed. Another press of the Memory button will recall the previous set of readings. All readings stored in memory will be displayed with their sequence number. 6 Helpful Tips Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings: · Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring. · Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure. · You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement. · It is important that you relax during measurement. · Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension. · Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement. · If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it. · Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement.
