Introduction

To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we
recommend that you first consult with your physician or trained health care
professional.
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.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Monitor uses is called the
oscillometric method. The monitor detects your bloodʼs 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.
