This document is a user manual for the A&D Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model UA-767F-W. It provides comprehensive information on the device's function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The A&D UA-767F-W is a state-of-the-art digital blood pressure monitor designed for home healthcare use. It measures blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate. The device conforms to the European Directive 93/42 EEC for Medical Products, indicated by the CE0123 mark. It is intended for use by adults for diagnosis and self-monitoring of blood pressure.
Key features include:
- Irregular Heartbeat/AFib Indicator (IHB/AFib): Detects irregular rhythms during measurements. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a rhythm that is 15% less or 15% more than the average rhythm detected. The monitor also displays the percentage of IHB/AFib detected, providing an indication of the frequency of such events. Users are advised to consult a physician if this indicator appears frequently or if the %IHB/AFib level is high.
- WHO Classification Indicator: Displays a segment on a bar indicator corresponding to the World Health Organization (WHO) blood pressure classification (Severe hypertension, Moderate hypertension, Mild hypertension, High normal, Normal, Optimal).
- Memory Function: Stores the last 60 measurements for each of four users, allowing for tracking of blood pressure history. The device can display average data, as well as individual measurements in reverse chronological order.
- Pressure Bar Indicator: Monitors the progress of pressure during inflation and deflation, providing a visual representation of the measurement process.
- Cuff Fit Error Symbol: Indicates when the cuff is attached loosely, which can lead to inaccurate readings.
- Movement Error Symbol: Appears if a body or arm movement is detected during measurement, potentially yielding an incorrect value.
- Built-in Clock: Allows for adjusting the date and time, which is crucial for accurate record-keeping of measurements.
- User Selection: Supports up to four users, enabling multiple individuals to track their blood pressure separately.

Usage Features
The manual details several usage features to ensure accurate and safe operation:
- Installing/Changing Batteries: Instructions for inserting four 1.5V AA batteries, emphasizing correct polarity. Users are advised to replace all batteries when the LOW BATTERY mark blinks and to remove batteries if the device is not used for a long time.
- Connecting the AC Adapter: Guidance on connecting the optional AC adapter (TB-233C) to the DC jack and an electrical outlet.
- Adjusting the Built-in Clock: Step-by-step instructions for setting the year, month, day, hour, and minute using the SET and arrow buttons. The device automatically turns off after three minutes of non-operation.
- Selecting the Correct Cuff Size: Emphasizes the importance of using the correct cuff size for accurate readings. Available cuff sizes include Large Adult Cuff (31 to 45 cm), Wide Range Cuff (22 to 42 cm), and Adult Cuff (22 to 32 cm). The manual provides a table for selecting the appropriate cuff based on arm size.
- Applying the Arm Cuff: Detailed instructions for wrapping the cuff around the upper arm, ensuring the artery position mark is correctly aligned and the cuff is 1-2 cm above the elbow.
- How to Take Accurate Measurements: Recommendations for optimal measurement conditions, including sitting comfortably, resting for 5-10 minutes, placing the cuff at heart level, remaining still and quiet, and avoiding measurement right after physical exercise or a bath.
- Normal Measurement: Step-by-step guide for taking a standard blood pressure measurement, including user selection, cuff placement, pressing START, inflation, deflation, and display of results.
- Measurement with Desired Systolic Pressure: Instructions for setting a desired systolic pressure before measurement, useful for individuals who may experience re-inflation if an appropriate pressure is not obtained automatically.
- Recalling Memory Data: How to access stored measurements, including average data and individual readings for each user.
- User Selection for Measurement: Instructions for selecting one of the four user profiles before taking a measurement.
- Deleting Stored Data: How to delete memory data for the currently displayed user by pressing and holding both arrow buttons until the M mark blinks.
Maintenance Features
The manual provides guidelines for maintaining the device and ensuring its longevity:
- Cleaning: The device and cuff should be cleaned with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with water and a neutral detergent. Harsh chemicals like alcohol, benzene, or thinner should not be used.
- Storage: Avoid tightly folding the cuff or twisting the hose for long periods, as this can shorten component life. Store the device away from extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, shock, or dust.
- Inspection: It is recommended to have the device inspected every two years by an authorized dealer or A&D customer service to ensure proper functioning and accuracy.
- Troubleshooting: A comprehensive troubleshooting section addresses common issues such as no display, cuff not inflating, device not measuring, and inaccurate readings. It provides possible reasons and recommended actions, including battery replacement, cuff reapplication, and maintaining stillness during measurement.
- Service: Users are advised not to open or repair the device themselves, as it contains delicate electrical components and an intricate air unit. Any attempt to do so will invalidate the warranty. For problems not resolved by troubleshooting, contact the authorized dealer or A&D customer service.
- Disposal: Used equipment, parts, and batteries must be disposed of according to applicable local regulations, not as ordinary household waste.
The manual also includes important precautions and contraindications, such as avoiding use on infants, pregnant women, or arms with unhealed wounds or medical equipment attached. It warns against using the device near strong electrical fields or flammable gases.
