Important Product and Safety Information
Follow Instructions for Use. This document provides important
product operation and safety information regarding 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 mea-
suring device for use by adults on the wrist at home or in the doctor’s
office. It enables a very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure, as well as the pulse rate, by way of the oscillo-
metric method. This device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats
during measurement and provides a warning signal when the irregular
heartbeat is detected.
This blood pressure monitor IS intended to be used:
• For self-measurement/monitoring of blood pressure and pulse in
adults; whereas the person being measured may be the user/operator
of the device.
• Within a home healthcare environment.
• With a cuff located upon the user’s wrist; ½ inch from the hand.
This blood pressure monitor IS NOT intended for use with:
• Pregnancy
•Preeclampsia
• Children under 12
• Neonatal patients
WARNING – Potentially hazardous situation that if not
avoided may result in serious injury or death.
• Self-measuring means monitoring, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual
values must always be discussed with your doctor. Under no circum-
stances should you independently alter the dosages of any drugs pre-
scribed by your physician.

• Consult your physician before using this device if any of the following
or similar conditions are present: arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular
premature beats or atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion
,
diabetes, age, pregnancy, preeclampsia, renal diseases. Motion during
measurement, including trembling or shivering may affect the measurement.
• Though not for use with children under 12, ensure that any children
around this device are supervised; some parts are small enough to be
swallowed.
DO NOT:
Use this device if you think it is damaged or anything appears unusual
(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 interference and result in harmful injury.

Place and pressurize the Cuff over a limb near the side of a mastectomy
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.
Maintain pressure in the Cuff applied to the limb for a prolonged
amount 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 or when power is supplied. When

the device is not in use and power is removed, batteries may be
replaced by the user. No other parts/components are accessible.
CAUTION – Potentially hazardous situation that if not avoided
may result in minor/moderate injury, property damage, and/or
damage to the device
• This device contains sensitive electronics components. void strong
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
loca tion if interference is determined.
• When not using the Blood Pressure Monitor for extended lengths of
time, remove the batteries to avoid potential battery leakage and damage
to the monitor.
• When replacing the batteries, ensure all the batteries are replaced
simultaneously to avoid battery damage and potential damage to the
monitor. Microlife US does not recommend using rechargeable batteries.
• To avoid inaccurate measurements and to lessen any discomfort from
Cuff pressure, ensure the Cuff is placed 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
your potential blood pressure risk. However, this feature is neither a
diagnosis nor a substitute for a medical examination. It is important to
consult with your physician to determine your risk.
DO NOT:
Drop this device or expose it to strong vibrations; sensitive compo-
nents may be affected resulting in inaccuracies and/or operational
issues.
