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.
• Pleasenotethatthisisahomehealthcareproductonlyand
it is not intended to serve as a substitute for the advice of a
physician or medical professional.
• Thisdeviceusestheoscillometricmethodtomeasure
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate.
• Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any
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.
• Thisproductisnotsuitableforpeoplewitharrhythmias.This
device may have difficulty determining the proper blood
pressure for pregnant women and for users with irregular
heartbeat, diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney
problems or for users who have suffered from a stroke.

• Excessive use may result in blood flow interference, which
is likely to cause uncomfortable sensations, such as partial
subcutaneous hemorrhage, or temporary numbness to
your arm. In general these symptoms should not last long.
However, if you do not recover in time, please seek advice
from a medical professional.
• Thepulsedisplayisnotsuitableforcheckingthefrequency

• Electromagneticinterference:Thedevicecontains
sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or
electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g.
mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These may lead to
temporary impairment of measurement accuracy.
• Considertheelectromagneticcompatibilityofthedevice
(ex.powerdisturbance,radiofrequencyinterferenceetc.)
Please use this device indoors only.
• Usebloodpressuremonitoronlyforitsintendeduse.
• Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other than your arm.
•Do not use this device on infants, children, or those who

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 contains defined levels for hypertension
that are 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 defined levels to determine if they may be
potentially at increased risk.
Thistableisapplicabletomostadultsaged18andolder.

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 the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if
your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicateincreasedrisk.Seepage19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 help you understand
your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates 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.

irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected
