This blood pressure monitor was clinically validated by an independent
organization. Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultation method within the limits prescribed by the American National
Standard Institute (ANSI/AAMI SP10) for electronic sphygmomanometers.
The published study was performed by a reviewing committee consisting of
physicians and/or nurses. Among blood pressure manufacturers, A&D Medical
is proud to have the highest number of Clinically Validated monitors with a
positive recommendation from professionals that are available to consumers.

PRELIMINARY REMARKS
PRECAUTIONS
☞
Precision components are used in the construction of this device.
Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, shock or dust should
be avoided.
☞
Clean the device and cuff with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with
water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner or other
harsh chemicals to clean the device or cuff.
.

PRECAUTIONS
☞
The device and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat
and water from soiling the device and cuff.
☞
Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to
televisions, microwave ovens, cellular telephones, X-ray or other
devices with strong electrical fields.
☞
When using the device, confirm that the device is clean.
☞
Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as ordinary
household waste, and must be disposed of according to the
applicable local regulations.
☞
When the AC adapter is used, make sure that the AC adapter
can be readily removed from the electrical outlet when
necessary.
☞
Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to
the device.
☞
To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the
cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the
artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary red mark
to the arm. This condition will appear especially when
measurement is repeated successively. Any pain, numbness, or
red marks will disappear with time.
☞
Do not apply the cuff on an arm in which another medical device is
attached. The equipment may not function properly.
☞
People who have a severe circulatory deficit in the arm must consult a
doctor before using the device, to avoid medical problems.
☞
Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment by
yourself. Always consult your doctor for evaluation of the results and
treatment.

☞
Do not apply the cuff on an arm with an unhealed wound.
☞
Do not apply the cuff on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or
blood transfusion. It may cause injury.
☞
Do not use the device where flammable gases such as
anesthetic gases are present. It may cause an explosion.
☞
Do not use the device in highly concentrated oxygen
environments, such as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an
oxygen tent. It may cause a fire or explosion.
