A&D manual ? HOW UA-704 Works, Before YOU Start, Selecting the Correct Cuff

?HOW UA-704 WORKS

LifeSource™ Blood 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.

BEFORE YOU START

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.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF

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.

ARM SIZE		RECOMMENDED	REPLACEMENT
		CUFF SIZE	CUFF MODEL#
7.5” - 12.2”	(19-31cm)	Medium	UA-280
7.5” - 14.2”	(19-36 cm)	Medium EasyCuff™ Feature	UA-380
11.8” - 17.7” (30-45cm)		Large	UA-281

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

3.Replace cover by sliding it into the compartment and gently pressing into place.

NOTE: Do not pull or remove air tubes from monitor.
