1.2 Important Information
Refer to the following sections to learn about important safety instructions and how to take care of the

Premium Blood Pressure Monitor.
1.2A Safety Information
• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed with
your doctor or a physician who is familiar with your family history.
• If you are undergoing medical treatment and receiving medication, consult your doctor to determine the
most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. Never alter the dosages of any medication without
direction from your doctor.
• Your blood pressure depends on several factors, such as age, gender, weight and physical condition. It also
depends on the environment and your state of mind at the time of measurement. In general, your blood
pressure is lower when you are asleep and higher when you are active. Your blood pressure may be higher
when recorded at a hospital or a clinic and may be lower when measured in the relaxing comfort of your
home. Due to these variations, we recommend that you record your blood pressure regularly at home as
well as at your doctor’s clinic.
• Try to record your blood pressure regularly at the same time of the day and under the same conditions. This
will help your physician detect any extreme variations in your blood pressure and thus treat you accordingly.
• Morning Hypertension (> 135 / 85 mm Hg): Recently, several studies have identified elevated cardiovascular
risks (heart failure, stroke, angina) associated with “morning hypertension”. There is a typical rise in blood
pressure during the physiological changes from sleep to arising for the day.
