Preparation before measurement
- Remove the clothing on the arm.
- Always measure in the same arm (generally the left arm).
- Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
- Relax as much as possible and do not talk during measurement.
- Measure your blood pressure at about the same time everyday.
- Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for 20 to 30 minutes before taking the measurement.
- Readings taken under the conditions listed below may affect results:
- Within an hour after dinner, after having wine, coffee, tea, sports;
- Talking, being nervous, being in unsteady mood, bending forward, moving, room temperature dramatically changing during measuring;
- Inside a moving vehicle, repeated and continuous measuring.
Attaching the arm cuff
- Plug the arm cuff into your monitor by inserting the air plug into the air jack securely until it clicks.
- Place your hand through the cuff loop. Pull the cuff until it reaches your upper left arm.
- Note: The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 0.79-1.18 inches (2 to 3 cm) above the inside elbow. The air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
- Make sure that the air tube is positioned on the inside of your arm and wrap the cuff securely, so it cannot move around your arm.
- To take a measurement on your right arm, when you take a measurement on your right arm, the air tube should run along the side of your elbow, along the bottom of your arm. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
- Note: Repeated measurement will result in blood congestion in the arm, which will affect the measurement result.
- How to improve: raise the left hand and hold the fist several times, or take off the cuff and rest for at least 2-3 minutes before taking the measurement.
Sitting Correctly
- To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated in a room with a comfortable temperature.
- Place your arm on the table.
- Sit in a comfortable chair with your back and arm supported.
- Keep your feet flat and your legs uncrossed.
- The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at the same level as your heart, with the arm resting comfortably on a table.
Taking a measurement
- Start measurement after wearing the cuff: Press the ON/OFF button and the monitor will begin to inflate. Please do not move or talk during the measurement. (The voice version will automatically broadcast the measured result during the measurement process.)
- Note: If you feel uncomfortable during the measurement, press the ON/OFF button immediately to stop measure.
- When the air pressure is filled to a certain value, the value on the display screen will slowly drop at a certain speed, and the heartbeat symbol will flash.
- After the measurement is completed, the systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse measurements will be displayed on the screen.

How do I turn my Blood Pressure Monitor on?
1. Press the ON button for a moment until the screen lights up. 2. Ensure that the batteries are the correct size (4 x AAA) and are the correct way around.
What are the different types of blood pressure monitors?
There are two main types of blood pressure monitors: manual and electronic. Manual monitors require you to inflate the cuff yourself, while electronic monitors automatically inflate and deflate the cuff.
What are some common errors that can occur when using a blood pressure monitor?
Some common errors include: 1. Not sitting still during the measurement. 2. Talking during the measurement. 3. Not having the cuff the correct size. 4. Not using the monitor properly.
Does this come with a larger cuff size?
We understand that not everyone has the same size arms. Unfortunately, this model of the Medescan Blood Pressure Monitor does not come with a larger cuff size. However, we are looking into creating a larger size in the future.
Getting an accurate reading on your Medescan Blood Pressure Monitor.
To get an accurate reading, it is important to stay still while the monitor is on. You should also avoid doing any strenuous activities before using the monitor, as this can affect the accuracy of the readings.
My cuff on the Blood Pressure Monitor won't inflate or deflate?
To ensure that your Medescan Blood Pressure Monitor is working properly, please check that all attachments are connected correctly and that the machine is on and working. If the problem persists, please contact Medescan Customer Service for assistance.
How often should I check my blood pressure?
The American Heart Association recommends that adults check their blood pressure at least once every two years. However, if you have high blood pressure or other cardiovascular risk factors, you may need to check your blood pressure more often.
What is a normal blood pressure reading?
A normal blood pressure reading is considered to be below 120/80 mmHg. A reading of 120-129/80-89 mmHg is considered to be prehypertension, and a reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered to be high blood pressure.
What should I do if my blood pressure is high?
If your blood pressure is high, you should talk to your doctor. They can help you determine the cause of your high blood pressure and develop a treatment plan.
