Cuff Size Indicator On The Cuff Our cuff has an indicator which tells you whether you are using the correct cuff size or not. Place the cuff on your arm (see Page E-6 to learn how to put the cuff on correctly) and if the Index Mark points within the Proper Fit Range, you are using the correct cuff size. If the Index points outside of the Proper Fit Range, contact A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada, call Auto Control Medical at 1-800-461-0991) for more information on where to obtain a cuff replacement. NOTE: If the cuff size indicator falls on a borderline between two size categories, pick either one and make sure to use the same cuff size for each measurement.

Your average blood pressure reading will appear with the number of measurements stored in memory (i.e. A25 = total of 25 measurements stored in memory) and a flashing symbol, indicating that monitor is ready for measurement. NOTE: If the symbol is displayed, the cuff has some air trapped in it. Press the exhaust valve button until the symbol is displayed. You may have to press on the cuff while holding the exhaust valve to release all the air in the cuff. 6. When the symbol is displayed, begin cuff inflation by squeezing the inflator bulb repeatedly. It may take a few seconds for the symbol to appear. 7. Stop squeezing the inflator bulb when symbol disappears or until cuff pressure reaches about 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg above expected systolic pressure. If inflating to a level above your expected systolic pressure, we recommend using the chart shown below to determine your inflation level. Usual Systolic Inflate to Up to 130 160 131-170 200 171-210 240 211-250 280 LifeSource Health Line (Toll-Free): 1-888-726-9966 TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 8. When the correct pressurization has been reached, the automatic exhaust mechanism will gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff. Sit quietly during measurement.

If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the exhaust valve to release the pressure in the cuff. 9. After you see the measurement results displayed on the screen, press the exhaust valve to release the excess air from the cuff.

Remove cuff and make a note of your blood pressure and pulse rate on the chart in the back of the manual, indicating date and time of measurement. Additional logbook charts can be downloaded and printed for free at or We advise that you record the date and time after each measurement because an accurate blood pressure history relies not on single or sporadic readings but on a pattern over time.
