Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ProLogic PL100 Digital Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor.
The ProLogic PL100 is a compact, fully automatic blood pressure monitor,
operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and
pulse rate simply and quickly.
Intended Use
This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate of
people within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the instructions in
this instruction manual.
It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the Important
Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the unit.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.
Please keep for future reference.
For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR
DOCTOR.
Important Safety Information
Consult your doctor prior to using in pregnancy or if diagnosed with arrhythmia
or arteriosclerosis.
Please read this section carefully before using the unit.
Warning:
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
(General Usage)
• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and
self-treatment are dangerous.
• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a
doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.
(Battery Usage)
• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean
water. Consult a doctor immediately.
Caution:
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or damage to the equipment or
other property.
(General Usage)
• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express
their consent.
• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result
in incorrect measurement results.
• Make sure that the air tube is not wrapped around other parts of your body
when taking measurements. This could result in injury when the air pressure
in the air tube is increased.
• Do not leave the cuff wrapped on the arm if taking measurements during the
night. This could result in injury.
• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields,
near the unit. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit.
• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
• To inflate the cuff manually, refer to Section 3.3. If the cuff is over inflated, it
can cause internal bleeding.
(Battery Usage)
• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with
plenty of clean water.
• Use only four "AAA" alkaline or manganese batteries with this unit. Do not
use other types of batteries.
• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace all four batteries at
the same time.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.
• Do not use new and used batteries together.
General Precautions
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit and arm cuff.
• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine,
smoking, exercising or eating.
• Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or bend the air tube excessively.
• When removing the air tube, pull on the air plug at the connection with the
main unit not the tube itself.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
• Read and follow the "Important information regarding Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC)" in the Technical Data Section.
• Read and follow the "Correct Disposal of This Product" in the Technical Data
Section when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional
parts.

2. Preparation
2.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries
1.
Remove the battery cover.
2.
Insert four "AAA" batteries
as indicated in the battery
compartment and then
replace the battery cover.
Notes:
• If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn the unit off
then replace all batteries at the same time.
Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the
national regulations for the disposal of batteries.
3. Using the Unit
3.1 Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your
upper arm.
Do not place the cuff over thick clothes.
1.
Insert the air plug into the air jack.
2.
Put your arm through the cuff loop.
3.
Position the arm correctly.
The bottom edge of the cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.
Marker (arrow under tube) is centred on the middle of your inner
arm. Close the fabric fastener FIRMLY.
1 to 2 cm
Notes:
• When you take a measurement on the right
arm, air tube will be at the side of your
elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on
the air tube.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm,
and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be
different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for
measurement. If the values between the two arms differ substantially,
please check with your physician which arm to use for your
measurement.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated, under
comfortable room temperature. No eating,
smoking or exercising 30 minutes before
taking a measurement.
• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• The cuff should be at the same level as your
heart.
3.3 Taking a Reading
Notes:
• To cancel a measurement, press the O/I START button to turn off the
unit and to release the air in the arm cuff.
• Remain still while taking a measurement.
1.
Press the O/I START button.
The cuff will start to inflate automatically.
START INFLATE DEFLATE COMPLETE
If your systolic pressure is more than 140 mmHg
After the cuff starts to inflate, press and hold the O/I START button until the
monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure.
Notes:
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
3.
Remove the arm cuff.
4.
Press the O/I START button to turn the monitor off.
It will automatically turn off after five minutes.
Important:
• Recent research suggests that the following
values can be used as a guide to high blood
pressure for measurements taken at home.
Systolic Blood Pressure Above 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
Note:
Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement.
Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition
prior to taking the blood pressure measurement.
Warning:
Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous.
Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
