Introduction

The unit includes an intelligent voice-guided feature to alert you of the proper positioning of your wrist for accurate blood pressure measurements. It also automatically provides an audible hypertension assessment via a new talking function as well as a display in the LCD screen.
The unit uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. The oscillometric method detects the movement of your blood through your brachial artery, and converts your blood pressure into a digital reading. The unit is simple to use because a stethoscope is not needed while using an oscillometric monitor.
The unit stores automatically 180(2*90) sets of measurement values with the measuring date and time. You can read the stored data conveniently by pressing the memory button.

Priced at $39.99, this monitor can store up to 180 readings and includes a hypertension indicator, making it a reliable choice for health-conscious individuals. Ozeri is the manufacturer behind this innovative product, known for its commitment to quality.

Taking a Measurement

How to Take a Measurement

Press the START/STOP “” button.
A voice guide will aid you in finding the optimum positioning of your wrist after which the wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically.
- If the Monitor says “Your wrist is a little low”, this means that your wrist is below the level of your heart and needs to be raised.
- If the Monitor says “Your wrist is a little high”, this means that your wrist is above the level of your heart and needs to be lowered.
- Finally when the Monitor says “Your wrist position is ideal”, this means that your wrists id level with your heart and the measurement will begin shortly.
  Note: If the voice assist function has been turned “OFF”, a beeping audio will aid you in finding the optimum positioning of your wrist before a measurement is taken.
The measurement starts as the unit inflates, and the heartbeat symbol begins to flash once a pulse is detected.
The blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed when the measurement completes, and the cuff automatically deflates deflates. The measured results are stored in memory along with the date and time.
When the volume is turned on, a voice guide will also provide an audible hypertension assessment in addition to the LCD display.
Important: The symbol will be displayed if arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) is detected.
Press the START/STOP “” button to turn the unit off.
The unit will automatically turn off after two minutes if you have forgotten to turn it off.
Please rest for at least 3 minutes before taking the next measurement.

Using the Memory Function

How to Use the Memory Function

To read the average value

Press the “MEM” button, the average value of the last 3 reading of the current user will display when the symbol “L3” appears.
Press the “MEM” button two times, the average value of all measurement of the current user will display.
Press the “MEM” button three times, the average value of AM measurement of the current user will display when the “AM” symbol appears.
Press the “MEM” button four times, the average value of PM measurement of the current user will display when the “PM” symbol appears.

About Blood Pressure

Blood Circulation

The blood circulation is responsible for supplying the body with oxygen. Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arteries.
The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure or top value) represents the blood pressure produced by contraction of the heart muscle.
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower pressure or lower value) represents the blood pressure produced by relaxation of the heart muscle.

Classification of Blood Pressure

After each measurement, the LCD will automatically classify the measured blood pressure in to one of six categories, based on guidelines set by the World Health Organization.

Note:
When a person’s systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories, the higher category should apply.

Setup Guide

To operate the Ozeri Automatic Wrist BP Monitor BP5K, follow these simple steps:

Place the wrist cuff on your wrist, ensuring it is snug but not too tight.
Sit comfortably with your arm at heart level and relax for a few minutes before taking a reading.
Press the start button to begin the measurement process. The device will automatically inflate and deflate the cuff.
Wait for the device to display your blood pressure reading, which will include systolic and diastolic pressure along with pulse rate.
Review your reading on the LCD display and store it in memory if desired.
