this instruction manual.

DO NOT use this device on newborns, infants, children, 

toddlers or persons who cannot express their intentions.  The 

device is designed for use on adults only.

DO NOT self-diagnosis from the measurement results and 

start treatment by yourself.

DO NOT adjust medication based on the measurement results.

Consult your physician for specific information about your 

blood pressure.

The Irregular Heartbeat detection function may help to detect 

potential cardiac arrhythmia at an early stage but it is not 

intended to replace cardiac examination.

The “WHO Blood Pressure Classification” chart is a guide for 

reference and is not intended to replace medical diagnosis.

Use the device only as intended.  Do not use the device for 

any other purpose.

Do not apply the device on an arm with an unhealed wound or 

under medical treatment.

Do not take measurements more than necessary. High 

measurement repetition rates may cause pain, numbness, 

temporary red marks or bruising to the arm due to blood flow 

interference.
