Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Welby® Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. This
fully automatic device quickly measures blood pressure and pulse rate
and then displays the results on the LCD screen. The device also warns
if an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) is detected. 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 it 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.

Proper use
The device is intended for taking comparative measurements of blood
pressure and pulse rates on the wrists of healthy adults in a home
environment. It can store 60 measurement readings in each of its two
memories.
This device is intended for use in dry, indoor areas only. The device is only
intended for home use and not for clinical or professional use. Use under
extreme environmental conditions may result in damage to the device.
If the readings obtained give you cause to be concerned about your
health, seek medical advice from your physician or other licensed health
care provider. Do not change any treatments or medication dosage as
a result of the readings without first discussing with your physician or
other licensed health care provider.
Persons with cardiac arrhythmia, diabetes, blood circulation issues or
problems with apoplexy should only use the device on the instruction of
their physician.
Blood pressure measurements taken with the device are equivalent
to those obtained by a trained examiner using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultation method within the limits prescribed by the American
national standard for manual, electronic or automated blood pressure
monitors.

Safe handling of batteries
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to improper handling.
Batteries may contain combustible materials. If not handled
correctly, batteries can leak, become very hot, ignite or even
explode, which could damage your device and/or cause injury.
It is very important that you follow the instructions below:
− Keep batteries away from children. If batteries are
mistakenly swallowed, consult your physician and/or your
local poison control center immediately.
− Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in
the device and on the batteries are clean and, if necessary,
clean them.
− Never charge batteries (unless they are designed to be
recharged). There is a risk of explosion!
− Never short-circuit the batteries.
− Do not dismantle or deform the batteries. You could injure
your hands or fingers, or battery fluid could come into
contact with your eyes or skin. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas with plenty of clean water and contact your
physician immediately.
− Never expose the batteries to excessive heat (such as
direct sunlight, fire or similar).
− Always observe the correct polarity. Make sure that the
plus (+) and minus (−) poles are correctly inserted to avoid
short-circuits.
− Remove discharged batteries from the device
immediately.
− Remove the batteries from the device if you do not intend
to use it for an extended period.
− Replace all of the old batteries in a device with new
