1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Welby® Upper Arm 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.
NOTE
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.
