Important Instructions Before Use
1. Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measure-
ments should only be interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with
your medical history.
2. Contact your physician if test results regularly indicate abnormal readings.
3. If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most
appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed
medication without first consulting with your physician.
4. Individuals with serious circulation problems may experience discomfort.
Consult your physician prior to use.
5. For persons with irregular or unstable circulation resulting from diabetes, liver
disease, arteriosclerosis or other medical conditions, there may be variations in
blood pressure values measured at the wrist versus at the upper arm. Monitoring
the trends in your blood pressure taken at either the arm or the wrist is never-
theless useful and important.
6. People suffering from vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetes, people
with cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are pregnant should
consult their physician before measuring their blood pressure themselves.
Different values may be obtained due to their condition.
7. People suffering from arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats
or atrial fibrillation only use this blood pressure monitor in consultation with
your doctor. In certain cases oscillometric measurement method can produce
incorrect readings.
8. Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood flow
interference. 9.The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause
further injury.
10. DO NOT attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intra-
vascular access, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inflation can
temporarily block blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
11. The cuff should not be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the
case of a double mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.
12. Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simulta-
neously used monitoring equipment on the same limb.
13. A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cuff pressure
resulting in blood flow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient.
