LifeSource UB-511 - Manual (Page 6)

The UB-511 provides an average blood pressure
reading based on the total measurements stored in
memory. When taking a measurement, the average
blood pressure reading will appear and the number
of measurements stored in memory will flash two
times before the cuff begins to inflate. The average
blood pressure reading will also appear briefly when
you recall the measurements stored in memory.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
6. As the cuff is inflating, the ❤ (heart symbol) will appear to
indicate that the measurement is in progress. The monitor
measures your blood pressure while the cuff is inflating, so
remain still. Once the pulse is detected, the symbol will flash
with each pulse beat.
7. When measurement is complete, the
systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse
rate readings are displayed. The cuff will
automatically deflate completely,
expelling all remaining air.
8. Press START button once to turn off power. The device has an
automatic power-down feature which turns off power auto-
matically one minute after measurement is obtained.
For the most useful blood pressure history, we recommend that
you record the date and time after each measurement. The most
accurate history relies not on a single or sporadic readings, but
on a consistent monitoring pattern over time.
NOTE: If you wish to take your blood pressure measurement
again, relax and wait 5-10 minutes to enable the flow of blood
in the arm to return to normal.
NOTE: If you have poor blood circulation in winter (especially
when your hands and wrists are cold), you may not get a blood
pressure measurement.

WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?
The UB-511 Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and
pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs.
An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25%
from the average of all heartbeat intervals during the blood pres-
sure measurement. It is important that you relax, remain still and
refrain from talking during measurements. If an irregular heartbeat
occurs during a reading, this symbol will appear .
NOTE: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
symbol frequently.
