IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATION
All physical activity, excitement, stress, eating, drinking, smoking, body posture and many
other activities or factors (including taking a blood pressure measurement) will influence blood
pressure value. Because of this, it is mostly unusual to obtain identical multiple blood
pressure readings.
Blood pressure fluctuates continually (day and night). The highest value usually appears in the
daytime and lowest one usually at midnight. Typically, the value begins to increase at around
3:00AM, and reaches to highest level in the daytime while most people are awake and active.
Considering the above information, it is recommended that you measure your blood pressure
at approximately the same time each day.
Please always relax a minimum of 1 to 1.5 minutes between measurements to allow the blood
circulation in your arm to recover. It is rare that you obtain identical blood pressure readings
each time.
CONTENTS AND DISPLAY INDICATORS

INTENDED USE
Fully Automatic electronic blood pressure monitor is for use by medical professionals or at
home and is a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system intended to measure the
diastolic and systolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a
non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. The cuff
circumference is limited to 22cm-48cm (approx. 8 21/32” ~18 29/32”)..
CONTRAINDICATION
It is inappropriate for people with serious arrhythmia to use this electronic blood pressure
monitor.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
