INDICATIONS FOR USE
e DS-500 system is intended for the non-invasive measurement of systolic
and diastolic blood pressure and determination of pulse rate in adults, i.e., age
12 and above; this unit is not designed for neonatal use. Also, an inaccurate
reading may result if this instrument is used on a child's arm. Consult your
physician if you wish to take a child's blood pressure. e product is
recommended for use by patients with labile blood pressure or known
hypertension in a home care environment as an adjunct to medical
management. e cu will accommodate an upper arm circumference range of
approximately 22 to 32 centimeters. Pressure is measured over a range of 0 to
300 mmHg and pulse rate over a range of 40 to 160 beats/minute.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
is product employs the oscillometric method for measurement of blood
pressure and pulse rate. e cu is connected to the main unit and wrapped
around the arm. Circuits within the cu sense the small oscillations in pressure
against the cu produced by the expansion and contraction of the arteries in
the arm in response to each heart beat. e amplitude of each pressure waves is
measured, converted to millimeters of mercury, and displayed on the LCD as a
digital value. If the pulse rhythm detected during measurment was irregular,
irregular pulse rate rhythm indication be displayed. A memory circuit stores
the 30 most recent measurement results with date and time for comparison
and computes the average value of stored data.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use only a so, dry cloth to clean the unit. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner,
or other strong solvents on the unit. Since the cu may absorb perspiration
and other uids, inspect it for stain and discoloration aer each use. When
cleaning the cu, do not machine wash or scrub it. Use a synthetic detergent
and gently rub the surface. Air dry thoroughly. Make sure uid never gets in
AIR HOSE.
When storing the unit, do not place heavy objects on it and do not coil AIR
HOSE too tightly. When the unit has been stored at a temperature below the
freezing point, keep it for at least 1 hour in a warm place before using. Remove
the batteries if the instrument is to be stored for an extended period of time.
Keep the batteries out of reach of children.
We suggest that you have your blood pressure monitor checked every 2 years.
is operation may only be performed by the manufacturer or by rms
authorized by the manufacturer.
Do not use this instrument without consultation with your doctor
if you are under dialysis therapy or on anticoagulants,
antiplatelets or steroids. Use of this instrument under such
conditions could cause internal bleeding.
For specic information on your blood pressure, contact your
physician. Never make any judgment on your own regarding
measurement results.
The material used for the cu bladder is natural rubber latex and it
could cause allergic reactions.
Do not use cus other than the original cu included with this
product.
To avoid any possibility of accidental strangulation, keep this unit
away from children and do not drape AIR TUBE around your
neck.
Use of this device in areas near portable phones, microwave ovens
or other devices with strong electromagnetic eld may cause
malfunctions.
The system may fail to yield specied measurement accuracy if
operated or stored in temperature or humidity conditions outside
the limits stated in the specications section of this manual.
Because the unit includes precision parts, care should be taken to
avoid extreme temperature variations, humidity, shock, dust, and
direct sunlight. Do not drop or strike the unit. Make sure not to
expose the unit to moisture. This unit is not water resistant.
