Important Product and Safety Information
Follow Instructions for Use. This document provides
importantproductoperationandsafetyinformationregarding
this Blood Pressure Monitor. Please read this document
thoroughly before using the device and keep for future
reference.
This blood pressure monitor is an automatic digital blood pressure measur-
ing device for use by adults,on the upper arm athome or in the doctor’s
office.Itenablesaveryfastandreliablemeasurement ofthe systolicand
diastolic blood pressure, as well as the pulse rate, by way of the oscillo-
metric method during cuff inflation. This device detects the appearance of
irregularheartbeatsduringmeasurement andprovides awarning signal
when the irregular heartbeat is detected. The device can be connected via
Bluetooth to a smart mobile device running the App.
This blood pressure monitor IS intended to be used:
• For self-measurement/monitoring of blood pressure and pulse in adults;
whereasthepersonbeing measuredmay be theuser/operator ofthe
device.
• Within a home healthcare environment.
• Withacufflocated upontheuser’supperarm;½inchabovethe elbow
over the artery as indicated on the cuff.
This blood pressure monitor IS NOT intended for use with:
• Pregnancy
• Preeclampsia
• Children under12
• Neonatal patients
WARNING –Potentially hazardous situation that if not
avoided may result in serious injury or death.

DO NOT:
 Use thisdeviceifyouthinkitisdamagedor anythingappearsunusual
(e.g. sporadic operation, open packaging upon purchase).
 Use the displayed pulse for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers
as this device is not suitable for this action.
Open/modify this device; inaccuracy and/or harmful injury may result.
 Conduct many frequent measurements as this may result in harmful
injury due to blood flow interference.
 Place the Cuff over a wound as this may cause further injury.
 Place and pressurize the Cuff over/near any present intravascular access
or therapy, or arteriovenous shunt, as this may cause blood flow interfer-
ence and result in harmful injury.
 Place and pressurize the Cuffover alimbnear theside ofamastectomy
as this may cause harmful injury.
 Use the Blood Pressure Monitor on a limb simultaneously with other medical
equipment on the same limb due to possible interference with such medical
equipment.
 MaintainpressureintheCuffappliedtothelimbforaprolongedamount
of time.Ensure that circulation in the limb is not impaired by checking
circulation if prolonged/repeated exposure to pressure occurs.
 Service the device when being used orwhen power is supplied. When
thedeviceisnot inuse andpoweris removed,cuffassembly,batteries
andacadapter (if applicable)may be replacedby theuserwithMicrolife

electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device
(e.g., mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These can lead to temporary
impairment of the measuring accuracy. Move the device to another
location if interference is determined.
• When not using the Blood Pressure Monitor for extended lengths of
time,removethebatteriesto avoidpotentialbattery leakageand
damage to the monitor.
• Whenreplacingthebatteries,ensureallthebatteriesarereplaced
simultaneously toavoidbattery damageandpotentialdamagetothe
monitor.Microlife USA does not recommend using rechargeable batteries.
• To avoid inaccurate measurements and to lessen any discomfort from
Cuff pressure, ensurethe Cuff isplaced correctly on the limb and fits
correctly when snug (not tight), as indicated by markings with the Cuff.
• Consult your physician in cases of frequent irregular heartbeat
detections.
• This Risk Indicator feature is provided in order to help you understand
