However, all measurements should be made using the same arm. To use on the right arm, you must position the artery symbol “ ” over the main artery. Locate the main artery by pressing with two fingers approximately 1" (2 cm) above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your right arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is your main artery. Main Artery 17 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE Important Notes: • Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day. • Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure. • Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement. • During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles. • See page 25 for additional notes regarding your blood pressure measurement. 18 BPA-300-A.qxd 10/5/06 4:20 PM Page 19 1.

The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will automatically inflate the cuff to start measurement. 4. Once your systolic pressure is determined, the monitor will begin deflating to measure your diastolic pressure. Note: This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system detects that your body requires more pressure for measurement. 5. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will deflate entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into memory. 20 BPA-300-A.qxd 10/5/06 4:20 PM Page 21 Note: 1. This monitor automatically turns off approximately 1 minute after last operation. You may also press the START/STOP button to turn the unit off. 2. To interrupt the measurement, you may press the START/STOP (recommended), “M”, User-Select or Date/Time Set buttons. The cuff will deflate immediately after a button is pressed.
