INTROD CTION
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT.
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 Healthcare Digital Blood
Pressure Monitor. With proper care and use, your monitor will
provide you with many years of reliable readings.

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.
