A&D Medical Automatic Upper Arm Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, AC Adapter, Extra-Large Cuff for 16.5-23.6 in Arms

The A&D Medical automatic upper-arm digital blood pressure monitor (BP monitor) measures blood pressure and pulse on the upper arm with an oscillometric sensor, and the included AC adapter keeps it ready for daily home use without watching battery life. This is the line's extra-large-cuff configuration: the cuff fits arms 16.5 to 23.6 in (42 to 60 cm), the range standard cuffs do not reach, and the unit is sold as one monitor with the cuff, carrying case, AC adapter, and quick start guide. A 60-reading memory with a time-and-date stamp and an average-of-readings display supports logging and trending measurements over time. The monitor is clinically validated and indicates an irregular heartbeat during a measurement.

Key Features and Benefits

• Indicates the presence of an irregular heartbeat during a measurement while still providing the reading
• Pressure Rating Indicator classifies each reading into the standard blood pressure categories, so a result is easy to read at a glance
• Stores 60 measurements in memory and displays the average of all measurements
• Clock display with time and date stamp for logging and trending measurements
• Three programmable reminders for taking measurements at the same time each day
• High-speed motor for fast and accurate readings
• Extra-large cuff for arms 16.5 to 23.6 in (42 to 60 cm)

What Your Reading Means

The monitor uses an oscillometric sensor: the cuff inflates and deflates on its own, and the monitor reads the pressure oscillations in the cuff rather than listening for pulse sounds with a stethoscope. Each measurement shows two numbers. The higher, first number is the systolic pressure, the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The lower, second number is the diastolic pressure, the pressure in the artery while your heart rests between beats. The Pressure Rating Indicator sorts the reading into the standard blood pressure categories:

• Normal: below 120 systolic and below 80 diastolic
• Elevated: 120 to 129 systolic and below 80 diastolic
• Hypertension Stage 1: 130 to 139 systolic or 80 to 89 diastolic
• Hypertension Stage 2: 140 or higher systolic or 90 or higher diastolic
• Hypertensive crisis: 180 or higher and/or 120 or higher, when you should consult a doctor immediately

Before You Use This Monitor

• It is designed for adults only, and do not use it on newborns or infants.
• It has not been clinically tested on newborn infants or pregnant women, so do not use it on newborn infants or pregnant women.
• It is intended for use by individuals in a home healthcare environment.
• If you have a severe circulatory deficit in the arm, consult a doctor before using the monitor.
• If you have had a mastectomy, consult a doctor before using the monitor.
• Do not apply the cuff on an arm with an unhealed wound.
• Do not apply the cuff on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood transfusion, as it may cause injury or accidents.
• A reading of 180 or higher systolic and/or 120 or higher diastolic is a hypertensive crisis, when you should consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment by yourself; always consult a doctor for evaluation of the results and treatment, and to interpret your blood pressure data.
• Do not let children use the monitor by themselves, and do not use it in a place within the reach of infants, as it may cause accidents or damage.
• Do not use the monitor in highly concentrated oxygen environments, such as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an oxygen tent, as it may cause a fire or explosion.
• Remove the batteries if the monitor is not to be used for a long time.
