A&D UA-704 Blood Pressure Monitor User Manual


 
E-5
E-4
Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate
reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is
lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small
yields a measurement that is higher. With your arm hanging at
the side of your body, measure the circumference of your
upper arm at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow.
NOTE: The LifeSource small cuff is not compatible with the
UA-704 monitor.
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 - 1-800-463-5414) for a cuff replacement at an
additional cost.
SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF
You must install 1 type AA (1.5 volt) battery and attach
the cuff to the monitor before using it. To install battery
(or replace it if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on
display), proceed as follows:
1.Remove battery cover by gently pushing down on
handle and pulling cover off monitor.
2.Place the battery in compartment
with positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals matching those indicated
in the compartment. Be sure battery
makes contact with compartment
terminals.
3.Replace cover by sliding it into the
compartment and gently pressing
into place.
NOTE: Do not pull or remove air tubes from monitor.
BEFORE YOU START
LifeSourceBlood Pressure Monitors are easy to use,
accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our
technology is based on the “oscillometric method” — a
noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term
“oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the
arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure
generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts
against the cuff with each heartbeat.
The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked. The
inflation speed is maximized and the pressure level is
optimized by the device. The monitor takes measurements
while the cuff is both inflating and deflating. This results in a
faster measurement providing greater comfort to the user.
