INTRODUCTION & INDICATIONS FOR USE
It is recommended that you rst seek the advice and recommendation of your physician
or healthcare professional when using home diagnostic devices, including blood pressure
monitors.
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 cu/stethoscope auscultation
method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or
Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Thank you for purchasing a Veridian Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper
care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT.

GETTING STARTED
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 cu
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.
