INSTRUCTIONS
Signs and symbols
Whenever used, the following signs identify safety
and property damage messages and designate a
level of hazard or seriousness.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE
MANUAL INCLUDING THE SAFETY
SECTION AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS COMPLETELY AND
CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS TO
AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS AND
TO MAKE CORRECT USE OF THIS
PRODUCT.

WARNING WARNING indicates a
hazardous situation
which, if not avoided,
could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a
hazardous situation
which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or
moderate injury.
NOTICE NOTICE addresses
practices not related
to personal injury,
such as product and/
or property damage.
WARNING:
• C onsult your physician or pharmacist before
starting to measure your blood pressure.
• R ead and understand all instructions and
warnings before using this device.
• L ike any oscillometric blood pressure
measurement devices, certain medical
conditions can affect the measurement
accuracy, among others:
– disorder of the cardiac rhythm
– very low blood pressure
– patients in shock
– patients with very low blood perfusion
– diabetes
– vessel anomalities
– people with electrical implants, such as a
cardiac pacemaker
– women who are pregnant.
• Due to their condition the oscillometric
measurement method can produce incorrect
readings. This represents a risk for your

6
health, since values may be interpreted
incorrectly. Always consult your physician to
determine what will be suitable for you.
• This product does not and is not intended to
provide a medical diagnosis. Measurements
results are for reference only. Self-diagnosis
and treatment, e.g. regarding medication,
using measured results represent a risk for
your health. Always consult with a licensed
physician for determination of appropriate
medication and dosage thereof. Follow the
instructions of your physician or licensed
healthcare provider. If you have or suspect
that you have a medical problem, promptly
consult your physician. If you have an
emergency please call 911 immediately.
• Only a physician or a trained health care
professional who is familiar with your medical
history is able to accurately interpret your
blood pressure measurements. Consult your
physician before starting blood pressure
monitoring.
• This product is not intended to serve as a
substitute for the advice of a physician or
medical professional. This product is not
intended to substitute for regular medical
checkups. Contact your physician for specific
information about your blood pressure.
• Please note that technically related measuring
tolerances are possible. Please see section
‘13. Technical Specifications’ for details.
NOTE: A single measurement does not
provide an accurate indication of your true
blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to
measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day for consistency.
• A ny cuff related blood pressure measurement
in high repetition rates, can lead to severe
measurement side effects, e.g.
– any nerv compression with temporary arm/
hand paralysis
– the release of an arterial or venous
thrombus, which can cause a life
threatening situation.

• Please contact your physician about the
specific risks of cuff pressure in your specific
case.
• The ’irregular heartbeat’ function does not
replace a cardiac examination, but may help
to detect potential pulse irregularities at an
early stage. Always consult your physician to
determine what will be suitable for you.
• The ’irregular heartbeat’ function is not
designed for diagnosing or treating an
arrhythmic disorder. Arrhythmia can only be
ascertained by a licensed physician.
• The WHO chart is not intended to replace
a medical diagnosis. This chart is only a
reference for different classifications of blood
pressure.
• If you notice abnormal or suspicious variations
in blood pressure measurements, consult your
physician immediately.
• Women who underwent a breast or axillar
lymph node removal operation should consult
a physician or licensed healthcare provider
before starting blood pressure measurements.
• Prior to use, you have to ensure that the
blood pressure monitor is free of damage.
If in doubt, do not use the unit and contact
customer service at 1-800-536-0366.
• This device is intended only for personal,
non-commercial, adult use in measuring
blood pressure and pulse rate. Do not use the
product for any other purpose. This product is
not intended for use in a hospital, physician’s
office, or any other health care facility.
• The unit must be used in accordance to the
specified ambient conditions, otherwise the
accuracy of readings might be affected.
See section ‘11. Care and Maintenance’ and
section ‘13. Technical Specifications’ for
details.
• Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other
than your wrist. Misuse represents a risk to
your health.

8

another person when using this unit.
• Proper cuff size is important for accurate
measurements. Only use the device
on adults who have the right wrist
circumference for this instrument. See section
‘13. Technical Specifications’ for suitable wrist
circumferences.
• Do not use any cuffs, parts and accessories
other than those explicitly recommended by
the manufacturer for use with this product.
Parts and accessories not approved for use
with the device may cause damage to your
health and to the product.
• Electromagnetic interference: Avoid strong
electrical or electromagnetic fields in the
direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile
telephones, microwave ovens) while it is in

9
operation, as inaccurate measurements may
result. To prevent such interference, use the
unit at a sufficient distance from such devices
or turn the devices off.
• Do not measure your blood pressure while
operating a vehicle or in any situation which
requires your full attention.
• During the blood pressure measurement,
blood circulation must not be stopped for
an unnecessarily long time. If the device
malfunctions, remove the cuff from the wrist.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression
or bending of the cuff.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff
or frequent measurements. The resulting
restriction of the blood flow may cause injury.
• 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.
• Consult your physician if you have any
doubt using the blood pressure monitor
simultaneously with other monitoring medical
equipments on the same limb.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have
undergone a mastectomy.
CAUTION
• The device should not be used when your
arm has been wounded/injuried or when a
catheter has been inserted. Such use may
result in injury.
• Remove any kind of wrist jewelry or the like
before taking a measurement. This could
cause bruises.
• Do not place the cuff over heavy clothing
(e.g. a jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood
pressure monitor will not be able to take a
proper measurement and there is an elevated
danger of acquiring hematoma or skin marks
during the course of the measurement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating,
interrupt the measurement by pressing the
start/stop button and open the cuff at once.

10
• Do not disassemble the unit, it may result in
injuries.
• When applying the cuff, make sure there
are no wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause
bruises.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to
temporary marks on the skin at the site of
the cuff placement. This is especially the
case in high repetition rates, in hypertonic
patients and in patients with weak pulses. In
rare cases a mark may persist for a couple
of days. Please contact your physician about
these specific risks of cuff pressure in your
specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only
for the use by one person.
• It is inappropriate for people with
serious arrhythmia to use this Electronic
Sphygmomanometer.
• Prolonged over-inflation (cuff pressure
exceeds 300 mmHg or maintained above
15mmHg for longer than 3 minutes) of the
bladder may cause ecchymoma of your arm.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions
of the limb in question may be impaired.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may
cause further injury.
• The accuracy of any blood pressure
measurement with this device can be affected
by a multitude of causes. Some can be
avoided some have to be accepted at the time
of measurement. Speak with your physician
about possible causes affecting your blood
pressure.
• Do not inflate the cuff unless wrapped around
wrist.
• Do not touch the unit and cuff and/or press
any buttons when measurement is in progress,
except for stopping the measurement. Doing
so may cause incorrect readings.
• The use of the device may be limited in the
presence of electromagnetic disturbances.
