Veridi n He lthc re recommends th t you rst seek the dvice nd
recommend tion of your physici n or he lthc re profession l when
using home di gnostic 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
cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by
the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.
Th nk you for purch sing Veridi n He lthc re Autom tic Digit l
Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper c re nd use, your monitor will
provide you with m ny ye rs of reli ble re dings.
INTRODUCTION

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.
