CHECKING FOR ACCURACY

How to Check your Home Blood Pressure Kit for
Accuracy
1. Detach manometer from bladder tube. Hold manometer in a
vertical position.
If the needle on the dial rests within the zero indicator on the
2.
face plate, your unit is guaranteed to be accurate.
3. If the needle rests outside the zero indicator, it should be
recalibrated.
4. To recalibrate, insert the small screwdriver into the hose
connector end of the manometer. Turn the screw driver in either
direction without going all the way around the dial to get the
needle back to the zero indicator.
5. If the unit cannot be recalibrated using this method, please
contact A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966.
Two-Year Calibration Warranty
A&D Medical warrants, to the first retail purchaser of the Manometer
(the Product), free accuracy adjustment for a period of two years if
the Product becomes inaccurate under normal conditions of use. See
