Important Instructions Before Use
1. Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measurements should only be
interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with your medical history.
2. Contact your physician if test results regularly indicate abnormal readings.
3. If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate time
to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed medication without first consulting
with your physician.
4. Individuals with serious circulation problems may experience discomfort. Consult your physician
prior to use.
5. For persons with irregular or unstable circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease, arterio-
sclerosis or other medical conditions, there may be variations in blood pressure values measured
at the wrist versus at the upper arm. Monitoring the trends in your blood pressure taken at either
the arm or the wrist is nevertheless useful and important.
6. People suering from vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetes, people with cardiac
pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are pregnant should consult their physician
before measuring their blood pressure themselves. Dierent values may be obtained due to
their condition.
7. People suering from arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibril-
lation only use this blood pressure monitor in consultation with their doctor. In certain cases
oscillometric measurement method can produce incorrect readings.
8. Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood flow interference.
9. The cu should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.
10. DO NOT attach the cu to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular ac-
cess, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. The cu inflation can temporarily block blood
flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
11. The cu should not be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the case of a double
mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.
12. Pressurization of the cu can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used
monitoring equipment on the same limb.
13. A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cu pressure resulting in
blood flow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient.
14. Check that operation of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation
of the patient.
15. Product is designed for its intended use only. Do not misuse in any way.
16. Product is not intended for infants or individuals who cannot express their intentions.
17. Prolonged over-inflation of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your arm.
18. Do not disassemble the unit device or arm cu. Do not attempt to repair.
19. Use only the approved arm cu for this device. Use of other arm cus may result in incorrect
measurement results.
