4-3. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

- Do not confuse personal blood pressure measurement and self-diagnosis. Blood pressure
readings should be interpreted only by a medical professional, who has knowledge of your
medical condition. The readings do not replace a treatment or a regular examination per-
formed by your physician.
- In the event of medical treatment, consult a physician to find out the best time to take your
blood pressure.
- Do not use this unit on children and elderly people without medical advice.
- This product should not encourage self-medication or changes to your treatment.
- If the cuff pressure is too high or in the event of discomfort, immediately press the ON/
START button to deflate the cuff.
- Do not use the unit in a moving vehicle. This can result in inaccurate readings.
- The blood pressure readings detected by this monitor are equivalent to those obtained by
a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits pre-
scribed by the American National Standards Institute for electronic or automated sphyg-
momanometers.

ted sphygmomanometers ANSI/AAMI SP10-2002.

4-4. SUGGESTIONS BEFORE MEASURING

- Choice of the arm for the blood pressure measurement:
The first time, it's recommended to take the measurement in both arms. If one arm
consistently has higher blood pressure than the other (> 10 mmHg), that arm should be
used to measure your blood pressure except in the event of contraindications in this arm
(You should discuss differences higher than 10 mm Hg with your doctor). If there is no
difference, the readings are often more easily taken in the non-dominant arm ( left for
right-handed, right for left-handed).

- When first using the unit, be sure to charge the battery using the USB port provided for this
purpose. Connect the USB cable from the unit to a computer to charge the product. Once

- Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising 30 minutes before measurement. Stay calm in the 15
minutes before taking your blood pressure.
- Stress raises your blood pressure. Avoid taking blood pressure readings during stressful times.
- The blood pressure reading should be taken in a quiet place, you must be relaxed and
seated, resting your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart
- Sit still and do not talk as the blood pressure reading is taken.
