SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a physician or a trained
health care professional who is familiar with your medical history. Through regular use of
this device and recording of your measurements, you can keep your physician informed of
the changes in your blood pressure.
• Perform your measurement in a quiet place.You should be seated in a relaxed position.
• Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical activity 30
minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are exhibiting signs of stress, avoid taking your
measurement until the feeling subsides.
• Rest 15 minutes prior to taking a reading.
• Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with the cuff placement.
• Apply the cuff to the proper position on the left wrist. The unit should be located on the
inside of your left wrist with the display panel in view.
• Keep the monitor stable during measurement to achieve an accurate reading. Remain still;
do not talk during the measurement.
• Record your daily blood pressure and pulse readings on a chart.
• Take your readings at the same time, each day (or as recommended by your physician) to
get an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.
• Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood vessels to return
to normal. The wait time may vary depending on your individual physiological
characteristics.
• Although such cases are rare, for those with an extremely weak pulse or irregular pulse,
errors may result which prevent proper measurement. If abnormal variations are noticed,
consult with your physician or trained healthcare professional.

• While taking a measurement, you can stop the inflation or deflation process of the cuff at
any time by pressing the ON/OFF button.
