Citizen CH-403C Blood Pressure Monitor User Manual


 
After cleaning the cuff with a neutral detergent, lightly rinse it
with water and let it dry in the air. Hard rubbing or washing
in a washing machine will cause air leakage. Also, be careful
not to get water into the air hose.
General Remarks on blood pressure
measurement
If the cuff is to be deflated quickly, depress “POWER” switch.
The attached cuff is suited for an arm circumstance of 22cm to
32cm.
When attaching the cuff, rubber cuff hose should be placed
on the inside of your arm on top of the arterial.
Self measurement is no therapy! In no case may you change
the dosage of medication prescribed by your physician.
In operation for blood pressure measurement, you should
urinate and should remain relatively still for 10 to 15 min-
utes prior to measurement.
Exercise, eating and drinking, smoking, etc., prior to mea-
surement may affect the results.
The blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day. Mea-
surement should be made regularly at the same time each day.
Do NOT be impressed by the results of one measurement.
Keep a record of blood pressure variations. Many readings
tell a story.
Emotional stress may tend to cause pressure to rise.
For proper measurement of blood pressure
Take a deep breath five or six time and then relax before
measuring blood pressure. If you are tense when taking
the measurement, you will not get a valid reading.
Blood pressure will be elevated when you are in a worri-
some or irritated state, suffering from lack of sleep or con-
stipation, or after exercise or a meal.
Putting on the cuff is one of the most important tasks for
ensuring proper measurement of blood pressure.
Wind the
cuff around the arm and tighten it so that one finger may
be inserted between the cuff and arm.
Do NOT measure blood pressure after bathing or drinking.
When you feel like relieving yourself, you should do so be-
fore measuring blood pressure.
Measure blood pressure where the room temperature is
about 20˚C. Do NOT measure blood pressure when it is too
cold (below 10˚C) or too hot (above 40˚C) in the room.
Do NOT measure blood pressure immediately after drink-
ing coffee or tea or smoking.
