?HOW UB-511 WORKS
LifeSource™ Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and display clear digital measurements. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method”. The term “oscillation” refers to the measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse and is a non- invasive method to determine blood pressure.
Our monitors examine the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts with each heartbeat against the monitor’s cuff. This monitor measures your blood pressure while the cuff is inflating.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:
☞Relax for 5 to 10 minutes prior to measurement
☞Remove watch, jewelry or
☞Use left wrist unless otherwise recommended by physician
Now you are ready to follow these simple steps:
1. Sit comfortably in a chair near a flat surface.
2. With palm facing upward, attach monitor to left wrist and fasten securely. The top edge of the cuff should align with the crease of your wrist.
3.Position your wrist so it is level with your
heart, using an arm rest if needed. Positioning of the wrist at heart level is critical for accurate measurement.
4.Press the START button. The average readings from blood pressure measurements stored in memory will appear for a few seconds and the number of measurements stored in memory will flash two times (e.g. A04). The cuff will then begin to inflate. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
NOTE: To stop inflation at any time, press START
5.Remain still and refrain from talking or moving during reading.
