Measurements
For Those Whose Systolic Pressure is Over 150 mmHg
1. Wrap the cuff around your wrist.
Raise your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
2. Press and hold the
START
button until a number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than
your expected systolic pressure appears.
3. When the desired number is reached, release the
START
button. Measurement will
begin.
Note: The operation above is required only when you measure your blood pressure
for the first time. The next time, the UB-351 will provide an appropriate
inflation, so measure your blood pressure as described on page 10.
Notes for Accurate Measurement
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place your arm on a table or other support. Raise your hand so that the cuff is
at the same level as your heart.
Relax for about five to ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by emotional
stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the
pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what they are doing and what they have eaten.
What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak or irregular heartbeat, the device
may have difficulty determining your blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the measurement and display an error symbol.
Refer to page 6 for the description of symbols.
This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician before using this
device on a child. A child should not use this device unattended.
Press and hold until
the desired value
appears.
