IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Readings taken by the Physio Logic EssentiA are equivalent
® +
to those obtained by a trained healthcare professional using the
cuff and stethoscope auscultation method. This manual contains
important safety and care information, and provides step by step
instructions for using the product. Read this manual thoroughly
before using the device.
Your physician's reading may sometimes differ from your home
readings. This could be related to a phenomenon known as
"white coat syndrome". You should not assume that any
single reading taken is your usual blood pressure.
In fact, blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day.
Common activities affect your level of heart activity and stress,
thereby influencing your blood pressure.
Note: This product is designed for home blood pressure monitoring
and does not require the assistance of a healthcare professional.
The device is intended for usage by one person. It is important that
you take home readings regularly, and that you follow the procedures
and precautions mentioned in the instruction manual. Consistently
recording/charting your readings, along with regularly consulting
a health professional, is an important aspect of your overall blood
pressure management program.
