HOW UB-511 WORKS  
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE  
Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:  
?
LifeSource™ Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate  
and display clear digital measurements. Our technology is based  
on the “oscillometric method”. The term “oscillation” refers to the  
measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse and is a non-  
invasive method to determine blood pressure.  
Relax for 5 to 10 minutes prior to measurement  
Remove watch, jewelry or tight-fitting garments  
Use left wrist unless otherwise recommended by physician  
Our monitors examine the pulsatile pressure generated by the  
arterial wall as it expands and contracts with each heartbeat  
against the monitor’s cuff. This monitor measures your blood  
pressure while the cuff is inflating.  
Now you are ready to follow these simple steps:  
1. Sit comfortably in a chair near a flat surface.  
2. With palm facing upward, attach monitor to  
left wrist and fasten securely. The top edge of  
the cuff should align with the crease of your  
wrist.  
BEFORE YOU START  
3. Position your wrist so it is level with your  
heart, using an arm rest if needed.  
Positioning of the wrist at heart level is  
critical for accurate measurement.  
The UB-511 provides accurate readings on wrists with a circumfer-  
ence between 5.3" and 8.5" (13.5 cm and 21.5 cm).  
4. Press the START button. The average readings from blood  
pressure measurements stored in memory will appear for a few  
seconds and the number of measurements stored in memory  
will flash two times (e.g. A04). The cuff will then begin to  
inflate. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.  
The unit requires two AAA(1.5 volt) batteries to operate. To  
install batteries (or to replace when Low Batterysymbol  
appears), proceed as follows:  
1. Slide the battery cover as shown to remove  
from the device.  
NOTE: To stop inflation at any time, press START  
2. Insert batteries into designated areas  
ensuring a correct match with positive (+)  
and negative (-) terminals.  
5. Remain still and refrain from talking or moving during reading.  
3. Return battery cover by sliding back on to  
monitoring device.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE  
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  
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.  
ABOUT AVERAGE READING  
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.  
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.  
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.

ABOUT MEMORY  
ABOUT PRESSURE INDICATOR  
The Pressure Indicator is located on the left side of the display  
screen to tell you when the blood monitor is inflating the cuff.  
The indicator consists of a scale with six levels and moves up  
during inflation.  
The UB-511 automatically stores up to 30 blood pressure and  
pulse measurements in its memory. Measurements stored in mem-  
ory are assigned an index number in the order of the newest to the  
oldest. The oldest reading displays as "n01".  
To retrieve readings, follow these simple steps:  
1. When the display screen is blank, press and hold the START  
button. While holding down the START button, you will see  
the average reading displayed first. You will then see the  
memory index number (e.g. n03) of the most recent reading  
followed by the measurement. Release the START button  
when you see the memory index number.

of the readings are displayed. To turn off the monitor at any  
time, press the START button.  
3. The display will shut off automatically a few seconds after the  
readings are displayed.  
To clear the measurement history from memory, remove the bat-  
teries from the unit and then place the batteries back into the bat-  
tery holder.  
NOTE: The motor will inflate the cuff at a slow speed starting at  
20mmHg to begin the blood pressure measurement process.  
NOTE: If there are no measurements stored in memory, you will  
see two 0s displayed vertically followed by a blinking "A00".  
NOTE: Stored measurements will be lost if batteries become low  
or are removed.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE  
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE  
Assessing High Blood Pressure  
What Is Blood Pressure?  
The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (with-  
out regard to age) have been established as a guideline.  
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of  
the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts;  
diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure  
is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).  
BP Classification  
Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)  
Normal  
<120  
120-139  
140-159  
160  
and <80  
or 80-89  
or 90-99  
or 100  
What Affects Blood Pressure?  
Prehypertension  
Stage 1 Hypertension  
Stage 2 Hypertension  
Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day,  
activity level, climate, altitude and season. Certain activities can  
significantly alter blood pressure. Walking can raise systolic pres-  
sure by 12 mmHg and diastolic pressure by 5.5 mmHg. Sleeping  
can decrease systolic blood pressure by as much as 10 mmHg.  
Taking your blood pressure repeatedly without waiting an interval  
of 5 to 10 minutes between readings, or without raising your arm  
to allow blood to flow back to the heart, can also affect it.  
SOURCE: The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on  
Prevention, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure.  
National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute - May 2003.  
What Is Hypertension?  
In addition to these factors, beverages containing caffeine or alco-  
hol, certain medications, emotional stress and even tight-fitting  
clothes can make a difference in the readings.  
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when  
readings consistently rise above normal. It is well known that  
hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left  
untreated. Referred to as a silent killerbecause it does not  
always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hyperten-  
sion is treatable when diagnosed early. Those who fall within the  
Prehypertensive range are more likely to develop hypertension in  
the future.  
What Causes Variations In Blood Pressure?  
An individuals blood pressure varies greatly from day to day and  
season to season. In hypersensitive individuals, these variations  
are even more pronounced. Normally, blood pressure rises during  
work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep.  
Can Hypertension Be Controlled?  
In many individuals, hypertension can be controlled by altering  
lifestyle and minimizing stress, and by appropriate medication pre-  
scribed and monitored by your doctor. The American Heart  
Association recommends the following lifestyle suggestions to pre-  
vent or control hypertension:  
Dont smoke.  
Have regular physical  
checkups.  
Monitor your blood  
pressure at periodic intervals.  
Reduce salt and fat intake.  
Maintain proper weight.  
Exercise routinely.

Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home?  
B L O O D  
P R E S S U R E  
R E C O R D  
It is now well known that, for many individuals, blood pressure  
readings taken in a doctors office or hospital setting might be ele-  
vated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is  
commonly called white coat hypertension.One way to deter-  
mine whether this is the case for you is to take your home moni-  
tor to the doctors office and, before the doctor or nurse takes your  
pressure, do it yourself on your home monitor and compare it to  
your record of home readings.  
In any case, self-measurement at home supplements your doctors  
readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure  
history. In addition, clinical studies have shown that the detection  
and treatment of hypertension is improved when patients both  
consult their physicians and monitor their own blood pressure at  
home.

Keys to Successful Monitoring:  
Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day. We recommend that  
you are consistent in your daily measurement routine:  
Measure at the same time every day.  
Sit in the same chair/position.  
Relax for 5 minutes before measurement.  
Sit still during measurement no talking, eating or sudden  
movements.  
Record your measurement in a logbook.  
How Do I Record My Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure readings are typically recorded with the systolic  
pressure written first, followed by a slash mark and the diastolic  
pressure. For example, 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic  
measurements are written as 120/80. Pulse is simply written with  
the letter Pfollowed by the pulse rateP 72, for example.
