About Average Reading

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?

6.As the cuff is inflating, the ❤ (heart symbol) will appear to indicate that the measurement is in progress. The monitor measures your blood pressure while the cuff is inflating, so remain still. Once the pulse is detected, the symbol will flash with each pulse beat.

7. When measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate readings are displayed. The cuff will automatically deflate completely, expelling all remaining air.

8.Press START button once to turn off power. The device has an automatic power-down feature which turns off power auto- matically one minute after measurement is obtained.

For the most useful blood pressure history, we recommend that you record the date and time after each measurement. The most accurate history relies not on a single or sporadic readings, but on a consistent monitoring pattern over time.

NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure measurement again, relax and wait 5-10 minutes to enable the flow of blood in the arm to return to normal.

NOTE: If you have poor blood circulation in winter (especially when your hands and wrists are cold), you may not get a blood pressure measurement.

The UB-511 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pres- sure measurement. It is important that you relax, remain still and refrain from talking during measurements. If an irregular heartbeat

occurs during a reading, this symbol will appear .

NOTE: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this symbol frequently.

The UB-511 provides an average blood pressure reading based on the total measurements stored in memory. When taking a measurement, the average blood pressure reading will appear and the number of measurements stored in memory will flash two times before the cuff begins to inflate. The average blood pressure reading will also appear briefly when you recall the measurements stored in memory.
