Congratulations on your purchase and thank you for choosing our unit.
Carefully read these instructions and keep them in a safe place for future reference.
Use the unit only as described in this instruction manual.
For specific information on your own blood pressure, contact your physician.
This Blood Pressure Monitor bears the CE mark “CE 0051” and is manufactured in
compliance with the essential requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical
devices, as well as the EMC directive 89/336/EEC:
• UNI EN 1060-1 (Dec. 1995)
Non-invasive sphygmomanometers General
requirements
• EN 1060-3 (Feb. 1997) Non-invasive sphygmomanometers Supplementary
requirements for electro-mechanical blood pressure measuring systems
Blood pressure measurements determined with this blood pressure monitor are equivalent
to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within
the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.
Disposal:
In conformity with Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), at the end of its life the unit should be taken to an electrical
appliance collection point for its environmentally friendly disposal.

1. How the unit works
This Blood Pressure Monitor uses oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the
cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure, which is equivalent to the
air pressure. The measurement of your blood pressure is based on this baseline pressure. After
the cuff inflates to block your blood in the artery, the deflation process starts. During the
deflation of the wrist cuff, the monitor is detecting the pressure oscillations generated by the
beat-to-beat pulsatile. Any muscle movement during this period of time will cause measurement
error. After detecting the amplitude and the slope of the pressure oscillations during the deflation
process, the unit will determine the systolic (highest) and diastolic (lowest) pressures for you,
and your pulse rate is detected at the same time.
2. About Blood Pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries.
The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic
(highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back
into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
