1. Introduction
Designed for convenient and easy operation, the RexallTM/MC Premium Blood Pressure Monitor provides a simple,
yet accurate method to measure your blood pressure.
Your blood pressure is an important parameter that can be used to monitor your health. This device enables you
to monitor your blood pressure regularly, and maintain a record of your blood pressure measurements. You can
then use this record to assist your physician in diagnosing and maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.
1.1. Features
The monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device with a unique fuzzy logic technology
and a large LCD screen. It can store up to 90 blood pressure readings for each of the 2 users.
It provides a fast and reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate using
the oscillometric measurement method.

The blood pressure monitor meets the accuracy requirements of Hypertension Canada and has been tested for
clinical accuracy.
This device is easy to use and has been proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. Before using the
blood pressure monitor, read this instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place.
