1. 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.
2. Perform your measurement in a quite place. You should be
seated in a relaxed position.
3. 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.
4. Rest 15 minutes prior to taking a reading.
5. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with the cuff placement.
6. 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 digital
display panel in view.
7. Keep the monitor stable during measurement to achieve an
accurate reading. Remain still; do not talk during the
measurement.
8. Record your daily blood pressure and pulse readings on a chart.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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 physician.
12. This device is intended for adult use.
While taking a measurement, you can stop the inflation or deflation
process of the cuff at any time by pressing the PWR button.
