Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause
apprehension and produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher
than that measured at home, Home measurement reduces the effects of
outside influences on the blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's
readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.
WHO blood pressure classification
Standards for assessment of high blood pressure, without regard to age,
established by the World Health Organization (WHO), and

Blood pressure variations
An individual's blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis.
It may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In
hypertensive individuals, variations are even more pronounced.
Normally, the blood pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest
levels during the sleep. So, do not be overly concerned by the results of one
measurement.
Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure
described in this manual, and know your normal blood pressure. Many
readings give a more comprehensive blood pressure history.
Be sure to note the date and time when recording your blood pressure.
Consult your doctor to interpret your blood pressure data.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
1. If you are taking medication, first consult with your doctor to determine
the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change
a prescribed medication without first consulting with your doctor.
2. For people with an irregular -, or unstable peripheral circulation problems
due to diabetes, liver disease, hardening of the arteries, etc., there may be
fluctuation in blood pressure values measured at the upper arm versus at
the wrist.
3. Measurements may be impaired if this device is used near televisions,
microwave ovens, X-ray equipment, mobile phone equipment or other
devices with strong electrical fields.
To prevent such interference, use the monitor at a sufficient distance from
such devices or turn them off.
4. Before using, wash your hands.
5. Do not measure on the arm which simultaneously used monitoring ME
Equipment, otherwise it could cause loss of function.
6. Consult your doctor if the unexpected readings are obtained, also
please refer to “Trouble shooting” in this manual.
7. The reading is probably a little lower than measured in the hospital due
to the steady mood at home.
8. Cuff pressure range 0-299mmHg
