Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Welby® Wrist Blood
Pressure Monitor. This fully automatic device
measures blood pressure and pulse rate and checks
detects irregular heart beat fast and easily and then
displays the results on the LCD screen. It works
using the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects your
blood’s movement through your brachial artery and
converts the movements into a digital reading. An
oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope
so the monitor is simple to use by oneself. Please
read this manual thoroughly before use and
save them for future reference. We also highly
recommend that you consult with your physician
or licensed healthcare professional if you have any
questions about your blood pressure either before or
as a result of using this monitor.
Please also save your original receipt as proof
of purchase. It may be required to validate your
warranty in case you need service for this device.
