Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg or you use the
optional cuff, use this procedure.
1. Place the cuff on the arm
(preferably the left arm).
2. Press and hold the START 1 (or START 2 )
button to display the last data number.
3. Press and hold the START 1 (or START 2 )
button again until a number about 30 to 40
mmHg higher than your expected systolic
pressure appears.
4. Release the START 1 (or START 2 ) button
to start measurement, when the desired
number is reached. Then continue to
measure your blood pressure as
described on the previous page.
Notes For Proper Measurement
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the
measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be
at the same height as your heart.
Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are
excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this
stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the
pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
Your blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are doing and
what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect
on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your
blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4.
Model UA-774 is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician
