IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ATTENTION
•
• This device is intended for adult use only.
• This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring
of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended for use on extremities
other than the arm or for functions other than obtaining a blood
pressure measurement.
• Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit
allows you to monitor your blood pressure. Do not begin or end
medical treatment based solely on readings obtained from this
device. Always consult a physician before starting any treatment.
• If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine
the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. Never
change a prescribed medication without consulting your physician.
• If the cuff pressure exceeds 37.24 kPa (280 mmHg), the unit will
automatically deflate. Should the cuff not deflate when pressure
exceeds 37.24 kPa (280 mmHg), detach the cuff from the arm and
press the (ON / OFF) button to stop inflation.
• To avoid measurement errors, carefully read this manual before
using the product.
This Blood Pressure Monitor does not replace examination by a
physician.
As your doctor is the one person best qualified to interpret your
results, we recommend that you keep a blood pressure journal to
bring to your visits to your healthcare professional.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood Pressure Standard
The Joint National Committee on prevention, detection, evalua-
tion, and treatment of high blood pressure has developed a blood
pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high risk
blood pressure are identified. This standard is a guideline as blood
pressure varies among different people and different age groups.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly.
Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range
as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.
