The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pressure over
a whole day with measurement taken every five minutes.
The thick line represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM
(A in the graph) and 12 AM (B in the graph) correspond to an at
-
tack of pain.

PRECAUTIONS
• Read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before measuring and
keep it at hand for your reference at any time.
• The device is designed for home use and not suitable for clinical use.
• The patient is an intended operator, who can operate the device
by himself or herself, not necessarily by a physician or operator.
• This monitor is not intended for use in the MR environment.
– The device should not be used to either self-diagnose Hyper
-
tension or exclude the diagnosis of Hypertension. If your blood
pressure reading is out of normal range, please consult your phy
-
sician. Even your blood pressure reading is within the „normal”
range, the device cannot exclude the diagnosis of Hypertension.
– Do not take a measurement in a low (less than 41°F/5°C) and high
(more than 104°F/40°C) temperature, nor in a place outside hu
-
midity ranges (15 % ~ 93 % R.H.), and atmospheric pressure ran
-
ges (700 ~ 1060 hPa), or you may get inaccurate readings.
