READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL, THE SAFETY
SECTION AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS AND
TO MAKE CORRECT USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE NOTICE addresses practices not
related to personal injury, such as
product and/or property damage.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or serious personal injury:
• For consistency, always measure your blood pressure
at the same time each day.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before each measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• When performing multiple measurements on
an individual, wait five minutes between each
measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
results.
• Measurements are for your information only – they are
no substitute for a medical examination. Discuss the
measurements with your doctor and never base any
medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration).
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home
environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling
in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking
physical activity such as playing sport) can influence
the measurement accuracy and cause incorrect
measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or
patients with pre-eclampsia. Consult your doctor before
using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
