Description
The Rossmax Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor is a helpful way to monitor blood pressure at home, with a number of key functions available. This monitor has Real Fuzzy Technology, Hypertension Risk Indication, Movement detection and Irregular Heartbeat Detection (IHB).
Real Fuzzy Technology determines ideal cuff pressure based on one’s systolic blood pressure and arm size. Users no longer need to pre-set the inflation level before measurement. The technology eliminates arm discomfort through unnecessary high inflation settings and also prevents inaccurate readings caused by erroneous cuff inflation levels.
The “Movement Detection” helps to remind the user to remain still and indicates any body movement during measurement. The specified icon appears once a “body movement” has been detected during and after each measurement.
The Rossmax Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor has passed the criteria of the European Society of Hypertension by achieving all requirements. It has a one-touch automatic operation and has 90 memories. The monitor gives an average of the last three recorded readings.
The Blood Pressure Monitor unit comes with:
- Batteries
- Latex-Free Patented Universal Cone Cuff
- Instruction Manual
- String Bag

Application
Applying the Cuff:
• Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff
• Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The colour strip indication should be positioned closer to you with the tube pointing in the direction of your arm
• Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 1.5 – 2.5 cm above the inner side of the elbow joint
• Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of the cuff
• Centre the tube over the middle of the arm
• Press the hook and loop material together securely
• Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and your arm
• Position the artery mark over the main artery
• Note: Locate the main artery by pressing the 2 fingers approximately 2cm above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is your main artery
• Plug in the cuff connecting tube into the unit
• Lay your arm on the table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked
• This cuff is suitable for your use if the arrow falls within the solid colour line. If the arrow falls outside the solid colour line, you will need a cuff with other circumferences
Measurement Tips:
• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure
• Before measurement, its suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension
• Sit upright in a chair and take 5 – 6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken
• Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet flat on the floor
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it
• Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement
Measurement:
• Press the ON/OFF/START key
• All displays will appear for approximately one second before returning to “0”
• The unit will automatically inflate to the appropriate inflation level based on the user’s pulse oscillations
• Measurement will then begin
• It is important to remain still and quiet during measurement. Any significant movement may affect measurement results
• When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic and pulse will be shown simultaneously and be saved automatically in memory system – up to 90 memories can be saved
• Measurement is now completed
• Press the ON/OFF/START key to turn off the power – if no key is pressed, the unit will shut off automatically in 1 minute
• This monitor will re-inflate automatically to approximately 220 mmHg if the system detects that your body needs more pressure to measure your blood pressure
Recalling Values from memory:
• To recall stored blood pressure readings from memory, simply press the memory key
• The first reading displayed is the average of the last 3 measurements stored in memory, and then the last set of memorized readings will be displayed
• Another press of the memory key will recall the previous set of readings
• All readings stored in memory will be displayed with its sequence number. Every measurement comes with an assigned memory sequence number
