Intended Use
The product automatically measures human being‟s 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 upper arm. The intended use of this
over-the-counter device is for adults with upper arm circumference
ranging from 220 mm to 420 mm (Approx.8.7 ~ 16.5 inches) and for
home use. When the device detects the appearance of irregular
heartbeats such as atrial or ventricular premature beats during
measurement, an indicated symbol will appear with measuring
readings.
This device is designed only for adults.
Type of Use/ Reuse
Multiple patient multiple use
Intended User
The Arm type blood pressure monitor is intended or both professional
and consumer, and the patient is the intended operator.
Patient selection criteria: Handicapped persons and children are the
exception, as of handicapped persons and children need assistance by
another person to use the device.

ventricular premature beats, atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor
perfusion, diabetes, age, renal diseases, patient motion, trembling,
shivering.

CAUTION:
•Beware of blood flow interference and resulting harmful injury to the
patient caused by continuous cuff pressure.
•While using monitoring ME equipment and blood pressure monitor
simultaneously being used on the same limb, pressurization of the
cuff may cause monitoring ME equipment temporarily dysfunction.
•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.
•Improper operation of automated sphygmomanometer may result in
prolonged impairment of patient blood circulation, please read
manual for proper use, if still not clear, contact professional health
care personnel or local distributor for assistant.
•Retake the measurement if unexpected readings are obtained
•Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arteries or
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
direct contact to patient's wound.

•Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mastectomy.
•Do not apply the cuff over a wound, as this can cause further injury.
•Do not apply the cuff other then the original manufacturer provided.
•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
•No modification of this equipment is allowed.
•High BMI health condition users may result varied.
•Users shall notify serious adverse event to the central competent
authority or its commissioned agency, legal entity, or manufacture.
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.
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.

4
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
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
