A&D Medical A&D Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with NFC

The UA-767NFC fully automatic blood pressure monitor from A&D Medical is a clinically validated device that helps you to track your blood pressure, view data, and determine long-term trends in your fitness using the latest Near Field Communication technology. Using A&D’s own free Android app or Sony Dongle (product reference RC-S360S) and the free Microsoft HealthVault software, you can develop a clear overview of your health, fitness, and progress . By using this Blood Pressure Monitor in conjunction with the UC-324NFC scale and the UW-101NFC activity monitor, you can achieve your weight, walking and blood pressure goals , and contribute to overall effective personal health management. Regularly achieving the 10,000 step a day challenge gives you more chance of reaching and maintaining your correct weight, and both increased activity and a healthy weight give you a much greater chance of reaching and maintaining a healthy blood pressure. First ensure you have an NFC enabled smartphone (such as the Samsung Galaxy S3, Nexus S, Sony Xperia S and HTC One X), and then download the app FREE from the Android Playstore and follow the instructions. You will be asked for your personal information such as name, date of birth, gender and height. There is further good news if you are less technically proficient – there is no pairing, cable or other connection that needs setting up. The only time you will even need a password is when you create a FREE Microsoft HealthVault account to upload your data to your PC. You will then be free to review your data on either the A&D app or on the HealthVault website. Rest assured – none of the information you upload or enter into the app or elsewhere can be used by anyone except for you and those people you choose to share it with. As with any professional-standard medical equipment, it is important that the UA-767NFC is used correctly in order to obtain accurate results. First, ensure that the cuff is fitted correctly. The white dot near the air tube should be aligned on the inside of the arm, about 2-3 cm (one inch) above the elbow. It should be fitted snugly but still with just enough space to slide two fingers between the cuff and the arm. If the cuff fit range shows that you need a larger cuff, these are also available on Amazon.co.uk under the code UA-CUFBOXLA. The next step is simply to press the Start button and the monitor will do the rest. To upload the results, open the app and place your phone on the Wellness Connected logo on the right hand side of the face plate of the BP monitor. If the sound on your phone is switched on, you’ll hear the confirmation sound followed by a beep and you will see the results appear on screen. High blood pressure is known as ‘the silent killer’ due to the lack of symptoms displayed, often until it is doing irreversible damage. With regular monitoring, it is easy to pick up any issues before they fully develop. High blood pressure can affect anyone, regardless of age or general health condition – many outside influences affect blood pressure and they are not always controllable. Factors such as gender, family history and underlying health conditions are areas which we cannot affect, while lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking, weight and stress all play a major role in determining whether we have high blood pressure. Directions Designed for use by over 12s. Fit the cuff correctly as per instruction manual, ensuring correct cuff size is being used. Press the Start button once to take a reading, then upload this to the app on your NFC enabled Android Smartphone by holding the phone to the Wellness Connected logo on the face plate of the monitor.
