INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing an Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper care and
use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.
To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we recommend that
you first consult with your physician or trained health care professional.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Monitor uses is called the oscillometric
method. The monitor detects your blood's movement through the artery in your wrist and
converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require
a stethoscope, making the monitor easy-to-use. The preformed cuff requires little effort to
apply and is comfortable to wear.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the wrist
and blood pressure in the arm. Because the arteries in the wrist and arm are connected,
changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure. Frequent wrist
blood pressure measurements will provide you and your physician with an accurate
indication of change in your true blood pressure.
People with severe hypertension, severe arteriosclerosis or severe diabetes should
consult their physician about monitoring blood pressure at the wrist.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements
obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within
the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.
Read all of the information in the operation guide and any other literature in the box before
operating the unit.
