Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your purchase of this Life Brand Blood
Pressure Monitor.
Please read and understand these instructions completely
and carefully before using this product and keep them for
later reference. Be sure to make them accessible to other
users and observe the information they contain.
1. Getting to know your instrument
The upper arm blood pressure monitor is used for non-inva-
sive measurement and monitoring of adults’ arterial blood
pressure. This allows you to quickly and easily measure
your blood pressure and to display the last recorded meas-
urement. The values determined are classified and graph-
ically evaluated according to World Health Organization’s
(WHO) guidelines.
Blood pressure measurements determined by this mon-
itor are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer
using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within
4
the limits prescribed by the American National Standard
Institute, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers.
It is recommended the performance should be checked every
2 years or after repair. Please contact customer service.

Advice on use
•
In order to ensure comparable values, always measure
your blood pressure at the same time of day.
•
Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
•
If you want to perform several measurements on the same
person, wait five minutes between each measurement.
•
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eat-
ing, drinking, smoking or exercising.
•
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
5
•
The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measurements with your doctor, and never
base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and
their administration)!
•
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns,
pregnant women or patients with preeclampsia.
•
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pres-
sure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as
well as chills or shaking.
•
The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connec-
tion with a high-frequency surgical unit.
•
Only use the device on people who have the specified
upper arm measurement for the device.
•
Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb
in question may be impaired.
•
During the blood pressure measurement, blood circula-
tion must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time.
If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
•
Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bend-
ing of the cuff line.
•
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.
•
Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
•
Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause fur-
ther injury.
•
You can either use the blood pressure monitor with bat-
teries or with an electricity wall outlet. Please note that
data transfer and data storage is only possible when your
blood pressure monitor is supplied with power. As soon
as the batteries are empty or the electricity cable is dis-
connected from the power supply, the blood pressure
monitor loses the date and time.
•
To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off auto-
matically if no buttons are pressed for one minute.
•
The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper or careless use.
