Transfer of information to pc (optional)
The DATACHECK kit is sold separately from the sphygmomanometer and includes software on a CD ROM,
USB connection lead and user manual. DATACHECK allows you to transfer pressure readings from the
sphygmomanometer to your PC and analyse them with specific calculation tools. You can also send this
information to a remote PC, for example to your doctor’s computer. All you need to do is download the
software and follow the DATACHECK instructions.
Note: the software provides no diagnosis.
