Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the
oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. The monitor detects your blood's
movement through your brachial artery and
converts the movement into a digital reading. An
oscillometric monitor does not need a
stethoscope, so the monitor is simple to use.
Intelligent inflation will reduce the uncomfortable
feeling by incorrect inflation, shorten the
measurement time, and prolong the cuff's usage
lifetime.
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Placing the cuff hose around the neck may
cause suffocation.
Do not use alcohol or any other flammable
cleaning agent on this device. Use only soap and
water.
Do not use the device near a cell phone, as it
may cause incorrect readings.
Do not use the device in direct sunlight.
Do not use the equipment where flammable gas
(such as anesthetic gas, oxygen, or hydrogen)or
flammable liquid (such as alcohol)are present.
Do not touch the output of the AC adapter and
