Intended Use
The product automatically measures human beings Systolic, Diastolic
blood pressure and pulse rate by oscillometric method. The
measurement results are displayed on the LCD. Measurement position
is at human being's wrist. The intended use of this over-the-counter
device is for adults with wrist circumference ranging from 125 mm to
210 mm (Approx.4.9 ~ 8.3 inches) and for home use. When the device
detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement, an
indicated symbol will appear with measuring readings.
This device is designed only for adults.
Contra-indications
Do not use in this case. (e.g. common arrhythmias such as atrial or
ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor
perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, renal diseases,
patient motion, trembling, shivering, handicapped)

CAUTION:
•Beware of blood flow interference and resulting harmful injury to the
patient caused by continuous cuff pressure.
•Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of
monitoring ME equipment simultaneously being used on the same
limb.
•Reading can be affected by the measurement site, the position of the
patient, exercise, or patient's physiologic condition.
•Automated sphygmomanometer can be affected by extremes of
temperature, humidity and altitude.
•Frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood
flow interference.
•Check that operation of the automated sphygmomanometer does
not result in prolonged impairment of patient blood circulation.
•Retake the measurement if unexpected readings are obtained
•Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arteries or

3
veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g., intravascular access or
therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
•This product is suitable for use in the home healthcare environment.
•Keep this device out of the reach of children. Strangulation may result
from baby or child entanglement in cables.
•Please keep this device away from pets, pests, and children.
•Preventing potential allergic reaction, please avoid the device in

•Do not apply the cuff other than the original manufacturer provided.
•Do not use this device other than the intended purposes.
•Do not use in these cases (e.g. Device for use in an ambulance,
helicopter or professional environment)
•Cuff pressure 0 –300 mmHg
•Reduction rate: ≦30S Refer to IEC 80601-2-30

Important Information Before Use
1. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a
physician or a trained health care professional who is familiar with
your medical history. Through regular use of this device and
recording of your measurements, you can keep your physician
informed of the changes in your blood pressure.
2. Perform your measurement in a quiet place. You should be seated in
a relaxed position.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or
physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are
exhibiting signs of stress, avoid taking your measurement until the
feeling subsides.
4. Rest 15 minutes prior to taking a reading.

6
5. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with
the cuff placement.
6. Keep the monitor stable during measurement to achieve an
accurate reading. Remain still; do not talk during the measurement.
7. Record your daily blood pressure and pulse readings on a chart.
8. Take your readings at the same time, each day or as recommended
by your physician to get an accurate indication of change in your
true blood pressure.
9. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the
blood vessels to return to normal. The wait time may vary
depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
10. Although such cases are rare, for those with an extremely weak
pulse or irregular pulse, errors may result which prevent proper

7
measurement. If abnormal variations are noticed, consult with your
physician or trained healthcare professional.
11. This device is intended for adult use. While taking a measurement,
you can stop the inflation or deflation process of the cuff at any
time by pressing the POWER button.
12. If any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device
should be reported to the manufacturer and the competent
authority of the Member State in which the user is established.
For Customer Service, the blood pressure monitor is calibrated when
manufactured; it is recommended that the accuracy should be
maintained and calibrated by manufacture triennially (every 3 years). To
