Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Welby® Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor. This fully
automatic device measures blood pressure and pulse rate and detects an irregular
heart beat (arrhythmia) 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 it for future reference.
PQVG
We 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.
