Overview

The AQESO Upper Arm Electronic Blood Pressure Monitor, Model U87E, is a digital blood pressure monitor designed for measuring systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate via the upper arm. It employs the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement, detecting blood movement through the brachial artery and converting it into a digital reading. This method eliminates the need for a stethoscope, simplifying its use for both home and hospital environments, and is intended for adults over 12 years old.

Function Description

The monitor features "Intelligent Inflation" technology, which aims to reduce discomfort caused by incorrect inflation and shorten measurement time, thereby extending the cuff's lifespan. It includes a 2x99 set memory function, automatically storing each measurement result and displaying it on the screen. A blood classification index is also integrated, making it easier for users to check their blood pressure against established guidelines.

The device's display provides comprehensive information, including the year, month, date, and time, along with systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. It also shows a blood pressure classification, a memory symbol, a low battery symbol, and the number of memory times. An irregular heartbeat symbol will be displayed if detected during measurement. The pulse rate is also shown.

A color-changing LED light acts as a WHO indicator, providing a visual cue for blood pressure classification:

  • Red LED indicates SYS ≥ 140 mmHg and DIA ≥ 90 mmHg.
  • Yellow LED indicates SYS between 130-140 mmHg and DIA between 85-90 mmHg.
  • Green LED indicates SYS ≤ 130 mmHg and DIA ≤ 85 mmHg.

Usage Features

Battery Installation and Power: The monitor operates on 4 AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries. To install, remove the battery cover from the back, insert the batteries ensuring correct polarity, and replace the cover. A low battery symbol will appear on the display when replacement is needed. For prolonged storage (over 3 months), batteries should be removed to prevent leakage and damage.

An optional AC adapter can also be used, which must comply with IEC 60601-1:2005 standards. When using the AC adapter, batteries should be removed from the compartment. The adapter plug is inserted into the Type-C socket on the back of the unit, and the other end into a 100-240V outlet. To disconnect, first remove the adapter plug from the outlet, then from the unit's socket. It is important not to use batteries and the AC adapter simultaneously.

Setting Mode: Before the first measurement, the monitor needs to be set up for the correct user, date, and time.

  1. User Setting: With the power off, press the SET button. The screen will display "USER 1" or "USER 2". Press the MEM button to switch between users, then press SET to confirm.
  2. Date/Time Setting: With the power off, press the SET button twice. The screen will display and flash "20XX". Press the MEM button repeatedly to increase the last digit of the year (from 2021 to 2099). Press SET to confirm the year, then the month will flash. Repeat this process to adjust the month, day, hour, and minute. Finally, press START/STOP to save the settings. If the date and time need to be reset, remove and re-install the batteries, then follow the setting steps again.

Cuff Fitting: The device comes with an L-sized cuff suitable for upper-arm circumferences of 22-42cm.

  1. Lay the cuff flat with the velcro side down. Pass the end through the metal loop to form a circle (skip if already prepared).
  2. Slide the cuff onto the left upper arm, ensuring the tube points towards the lower arm.
  3. Wrap the cuff snugly around the arm, with the lower edge approximately 2-3 cm above the elbow and the rubber tube on the inner side of the arm.
  4. Tighten the free end and secure with the velcro. Two fingers should fit between the cuff and the arm. Remove any restrictive clothing.
  5. Rest the arm on a table, palm upwards, so the cuff is at heart height. Do not bend the tube. If the left arm cannot be used, the right arm can be used, but all measurements should consistently be taken on the same arm.

Measurement Procedure:

  1. After positioning the cuff, press the START/STOP button. All symbols will appear on the display, and the pump will begin inflating the cuff. The rising pressure will be shown.
  2. Once the appropriate pressure is reached, the pump stops, and the pressure gradually falls. If inflation is insufficient, the device will automatically reinflate.
  3. When a signal is detected, the heart symbol on the display will flash.
  4. Upon completion, the systolic, diastolic, and pulse rate will be displayed.
  5. Readings remain on the display until the device is switched off. The device automatically powers off after 3 minutes of inactivity to save power.

Discontinuing a Measurement: If a measurement needs to be interrupted (e.g., due to patient discomfort), press the START/STOP button at any time. The device will automatically decrease the cuff pressure.

Memory Recall: The monitor stores 2x99 sets of measurements per user. The oldest record is replaced by the latest once 99 sets are exceeded.

  1. With the power off, press the MEM button. The latest three average values will be shown.
  2. Press MEM again to view the last measurement value, and subsequent measurements by pressing MEM repeatedly.

Clearing Memory: To permanently remove a user's memory data:

  1. Select the correct user in the "User setting" mode.
  2. With the power off, press the SET button until the user ID is displayed, then confirm the user.
  3. Press the SET button 6 times until "CL" appears.
  4. Press the START/STOP button. "CL" will flash 3 times, clearing all memories for that user.
  5. Press the MEM button; "M" and "no" will be displayed, indicating no memory is stored.

Maintenance Features

Care for the Main Unit and Cuff:

  • Store the unit in its storage case when not in use.
  • Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive or volatile cleaners (e.g., naphtha, thinner, gasoline).
  • Never immerse the unit or any component in water.
  • For cleaning the cuff, ensure the monitor is off. A mixture of distilled water and 10% bleach can be used. Moisten a soft cloth towel with the mixture until saturated, squeeze out excess moisture, and thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the cuff (inside and out). Be cautious to prevent moisture from entering the main unit.
  • Use a dry cloth to gently wipe away any remaining moisture from the cuff. Lay the cuff flat in an unrolled position to air dry.
  • Do not wet the cuff or attempt to clean it with water.
  • Store the unit in a clean, dry location, away from extreme hot or cold temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
  • Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for 3 months or longer.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a table for error indicators and trouble removal. For example, "E-1" (weak signal/pressure change) requires wrapping the cuff properly and remeasuring. "E-2" (external strong disturbance) suggests keeping quiet and avoiding chatting during measurement, and being away from cell phones or other high radiant devices. "E-3" (error during inflation) indicates checking the air plug insertion and re-measuring. "E-5" (abnormal blood pressure) advises relaxing for 30 minutes before re-measuring, and contacting a doctor if unusual readings persist. A low battery symbol requires replacing all worn batteries. For issues like no power or no inflation, checks include battery power, polarity, plug insertion, and cuff condition. If the cuff is loose, it should be wrapped tightly. If the cuff is broken or leaking, it needs to be replaced. Users are advised to contact the distributor for problems that cannot be solved and not to disassemble the unit themselves.

Safety Information: The device is not suitable for patients with severe heart insufficiency, infants, or children. It is also contraindicated for neonatal patients, pregnant women, patients with implanted electronic devices, pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular beats, atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, intravascular therapy, arterio-venous shunt, or post-mastectomy. Consultation with a doctor is advised for individuals with arrhythmia, diabetes, blood circulation, or apoplexy problems. Self-diagnosis and treatment based on measured results can be dangerous. The device should be kept out of reach of children. No modifications to the equipment are allowed without manufacturer authorization. The cuff hose around the neck or swallowing small parts can cause suffocation. The device should not be used with flammable gases or liquids. The user must ensure the equipment functions safely before use. The device requires no calibration and contains no user-serviceable parts.
