INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Uniden blood pressure monitor. Please read this manual thoroughly before use. Contact
your physician if you have any queries about your blood pressure.
This fully automatic instrument utilizes the non-invasive oscillometric method, which detects your blood
movement through you brachial artery, for measuring your blood pressure and pulse rate, and the result will
display on a digital panel. Without using a stethoscope, you can get the readings promptly and easily.
This device conforms to European Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices. This is made
evident by the CE mark of conformity accompanies by the reference number of the designated authority.

Indication for Use
This device is for use by medical professional or home users. It is intended to measure the systolic and diastolic
blood pressure of an adult individual by using a non-invasive technique, in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped
around the upper arm.
• Proper cuff size is important for accurate measurements. Only use the device on adults who have the right
upper arm circumference for this unit. See “TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION” for suitable arm circumferences.
• Electromagnetic interference: Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device
(e.g. mobile phones, microwave ovens) while it is in operation, an inaccurate measurements may result. To
prevent such interference, use the unit at a sufficient distance from such devices or turn the disturbances off.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated by any other means. The batteries may explode.
• Take extra precaution to keep a leaking battery away from fire as there is a risk of ignition or explosion.
• In case battery fluid leaks and come into contact with your eyes or skin, do not rub and immediately rinse with
plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.
• Do not use the equipment where flammable gas (e.g. anaesthetics gas, oxygen or hydrogen) or flammable
liquid (e.g. alcohol) are present.
• Do not use any cuffs and accessories other than those explicitly recommended by the manufacturer for use with
this product. Cuffs and accessories not approved for use with this device may cause damage to your health and
to the product.
• The tubing presents a strangulation hazard. Keep this product away from children and those who require close
supervision, e.g. people with mental disorders.
• Do not drape tube around neck. This presents a strangulation hazard.
SAFETY NOTES
• Please note that technically related measuring tolerances are possible. Please see the section “TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION”.
• Any cuff related blood pressure measurement in high repetition rates, can lead to severe measurement side
effects, e.g.
- A nerve compression with temporary wrist/ hand paralysis
- The release of an arterial or venous thrombus, which can cause a life threatening situation.
Please contact your physician about the specific risks of cuff pressure in your specific case.
• The “irregular heartbeat” function does not replace a cardiac examination, but may help to detect potential heart
rate irregularities at an early stage. Always consult your physician to determine what will be suitable for you.
• The “irregular heartbeat” function is not designed for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmic disorder. Arrhythmia
can only be ascertained by a licensed physician.
• The “WHO BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION” chart is not intended to replace a medical diagnosis. This
chart is only for reference for different classifications of blood pressure.
• If you notice abnormal or suspicious variations in blood pressure measurements, consult your physician
immediately.
• Women who underwent a breast or axillaries lymph node removal operation should consult a physician or
licensed healthcare provider before starting blood pressure measurements.
• This device must be used in accordance to the specified ambient conditions, otherwise the accuracy of readings
might be affected. See “TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION” for details.
• Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other than your upper left arm. Misuse represents a risk to your health.
• This product is not intended for use by or on children, toddlers and infants or on persons who cannot express
their consent, e.g. persons with mental disorders or the like. Consult your physician for alternative methods of
measuring a child’s blood pressure.
