CARE & SAFETY INFORMATION

6– ENGLISH
It is recommended that you first seek the advice and recommendation of your physician or
healthcare professional when using home diagnostic devices, including blood pressure
monitors.
Semi-automatic digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method to electronically
measure your blood pressure. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in
your arm and converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not
require a stethoscope, making the monitor ideal for home use.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements obtained
by a trained healthcare professional using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the
limits prescribed by the American National Standard for lectronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.
Thank you for purchasing a Semi-Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper
care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.

BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR FEATURES

8– ENGLISH
Before Taking a Measurement
1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or healthcare professional with
access to your individual medical history. Regular use of a home blood pressure monitor will
allow you to track and record your readings for discussion with your physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a relaxed position. Rest for 15
minutes before taking your reading. If an error occurs or you desire to take a second reading,
allow 15 minutes between readings for your blood vessels to return to normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical activity or any other stressful
activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may interfere with the cuff
placement.
5. Keep yourself and the monitor still during measuring; do not talk during the reading.
6. It is recommended that you take your readings as the same time each day to better monitor
any indications in your results.
7. Record your daily measurement on the included chart or some other written document to
share with your physician.
