CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To protect your unit from damage, please AVOID washing or
moistening the cuff or dropping the gauge.
Your new blood pressure unit has been carefully checked to
assure reliability and accuracy prior to shipment and use.
However, as with any sensitive instrument subjected to
repeated use, we recommend that your blood pressure
gauge be cheeked periodically. When the cuff is fully
deflated, the gauge needle must stay within the accuracy
indicator zone. If the needle points outside of the accuracy
indicator zone, the gauge will give inaccurate readings.
In
this case you have to bring the device to the nearest service centre
for calibration (address mentioned in warranty card).
