?HOW UA-767 PLUS WORKS

LifeSource® blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscil- lometric 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 4 type AA (1.5 volt) batteries (alkaline batteries recommended), or use the AC Adapter (see page E-11 for using the Monitor with AC Adapter) and attach the cuff to the monitor before using it. To install batteries (or replace them if the “Low Battery” symbol appears on display), proceed as follows:

1.Remove battery compartment cover by gently pushing down on arrow and sliding cover forward.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE

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 will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow.

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.

2.Put in bottom row of batteries first. Place the batteries in compartment with positive (+) and negative (–) terminals matching those indicat- ed in the compartment. Be sure batteries make contact with compartment terminals.

3.Replace cover by sliding it into the compart- ment and gently pressing into place.

UA-767 Plus specifications

The LifeSource UA-767 Plus is a state-of-the-art blood pressure monitor designed for both ease of use and accuracy. This device stands out in the crowded market of health monitoring equipment due to its combination of advanced technology and user-friendly features, making it a popular choice for individuals wanting to keep an eye on their cardiovascular health.

One of the key features of the UA-767 Plus is its Integrated Positioning System (IPS). This innovative technology ensures accurate readings by guiding users to position the monitor correctly on their arm. The device provides visual and audio cues for optimal placement, significantly reducing user error during measurements.

The UA-767 Plus utilizes advanced oscillometric measurements technology, which means that it measures the fluctuations in arterial wall pressure to determine blood pressure readings. This method has been clinically validated for its accuracy, making the UA-767 a reliable choice for home monitoring.

Another notable characteristic of the LifeSource UA-767 Plus is its large memory storage capacity. This model can store up to 90 measurements for two separate users, allowing families or couples to track their blood pressure over time without the need for constant manual recording. This feature helps users notice patterns or fluctuations in their health, enabling them to share important information with their healthcare providers effectively.

The device features a large, easy-to-read display that shows systolic and diastolic pressure readings along with pulse rate. This clear visibility ensures even users with less-than-perfect eyesight can read their results without straining. The one-button operation simplifies the process, making it accessible for users of all ages and technical abilities.

Additionally, the UA-767 Plus comes equipped with a heart arrhythmia detector, which alerts users to possible irregular heartbeats during measurement. This feature is critical for those monitoring their heart health, allowing for timely medical consultation if irregularities are detected.

In summary, the LifeSource UA-767 Plus is a highly efficient blood pressure monitor that combines user-centric technology with essential health monitoring capabilities. Its integrated positioning system, advanced measurement technology, large memory capacity, and user-friendly design make it an ideal tool for anyone serious about managing their blood pressure effectively. Whether you're monitoring your health at home or sharing data with a healthcare professional, the UA-767 Plus empowers users to take control of their cardiovascular well-being.
