Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method
of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your
blood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts the
movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not
need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
The HEM 431CAN comes with the following components:
• Monitor • Standard Cuff (9'' 13'' arm circumference)
• Inflation Bulb
• Instruction Manual in English and French
The HEM 431CAN Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor is
intended for home use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should
always be followed including the precautions listed below:
Read all information in the instruction book and any other literature
included in the box before using the unit.
Contact your physician for specific information about your blood
pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.
Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose.
The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse
rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants.
Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in operational
failure.
Changes or modifications not approved by the manufacturer will void
the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or
components.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
5
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for
30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes
before taking the measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4. Remove tight fitting clothing from your left arm.
5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on a
table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your
physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood
pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
8. Wait 2 3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the
arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on
your individual physiological characteristics.

Set the monitor to the current date and time before taking a measurement
for the first time. If the correct date and time is not set, the measurement
values stored in the memory and the average value will not be correct.
The Blood Pressure Monitor automatically stores up to 30
measurement values. The monitor also calculates an average reading
based on the three most recent measurements taken within 10 minutes
of the last reading.
NOTES:
• If only two readings are stored in the memory for the 10 minute
period, the average is based on the two readings.
• If one reading is stored in the memory for the 10 minute period,
this reading is displayed as the average.
