IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your blood pressure monitor, basic precautions
should always be followed. Please read and follow all
instructions and warnings before using this product.
Save these instructions for future reference.

health problem or disease. Measurement results are for
reference only. Consult a healthcare professional for
interpretation of pressure measurements. Contact your
physician if you have or suspect any medical problem.
Do not change your medications without the advice of
your physician or healthcare professional.
• Proper cuff size is critical for accurate measurements.
Follow the instructions in this manual and printed on
the arm cuff to ensure the appropriate size of cuff is
being used.

the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method, within the limits
prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual,
electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery
walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure
measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of
the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure
measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back
into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those associated
with high blood pressure are very common. High blood
pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular
diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is
important for identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on page 6 is criteria for hypertension that is
publicly available from the National Heart Lung and Blood
Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings
against these established criteria to determine if they may be
potentially at increased risk.

Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people
who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers
stay above the “normal” range most of the time, you may
be at increased risk and should consult your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood
pressure readings fall on this table, this monitor comes
equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically
compares each reading to this criteria and provides a
helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that
couldpotentiallyindicateincreasedrisk.Seepage21for
more information on this feature.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only
intended to assist you in using this table. The table and
cues are only provided for convenience to have access to
the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical
examination by your physician. It is important for you to
consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will
tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the
point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your
blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for
each individual. With one touch of a button, the cuff will
automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your
artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Please note that
any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause
measurement error. When measurement is complete, the
monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,
and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement
results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood
Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk.
