Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation
1. Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks.
2. Do not insert foreign objects into any openings.
3. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
4. Do not crush the pressure cuff.
5. If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0°C, leave it in a warm
place for about 15 minutes before using it. Otherwise, the cuff may not
inflate properly.
6. Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity or dust.
IMPORTANT:
• WHO does not define a low blood pressure area.
For reference, systolic pressure readings of less than 90 mmH
g
are
considered to indicate low blood pressure regardless of the diastolic
pressure.
• Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because
fluctuations in a person’s blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible,
measure and record your blood pressure at the same time every day, and
consult your physician if you have questions or concerns.
• If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement,
please consult your physician.
Easily Check Your Blood Pressure Readings Against
the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines
If your systolic pressure falls in one category but your diastolic pressure in
another, your level is classified in the higher of the two categories.

Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)
Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)
The blood flow (pulse wave) which influences blood pressure monitors
varies according to the conditions of the blood vessels and the structure of
the arm, making measurements by conventional methods difficult in some
cases. For more consistent, accurate results, this device employs a Precise
Logic™ measurement system that verifies both the height and width of the
pulse wave in order to reliably measure blood pressure.
By using the Precise Logic™ measurement system, measurement reliability
and accuracy have been improved.
