Introduction

1.1. Features

The blood-pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood-pressure
measuring device for use on the wrist, which enables very fast and reliable
measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood-pressure as well as the pulse
frequency by way of the oscillometric method of measuring.
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to
those obtained by a trainer observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation
method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard.
The device is validated against Korotkoff phase 5.
This device is easy to use and is proven in clinical studies to provide excellent
accuracy.
Before using, please read through this instruction manual carefully and then
keep it in a safe place. For further questions on the subject of blood-pressure
and its measurement, please contact your doctor.
Attention!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

• Self-measurement means Control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your
values must always be discussed with your doctor. You should never
alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your doctor.
• Clinical trials have shown that wrist measurements can reach similar
accuracy to upper arm measurements. However, some individuals may
get a different result between both methods. Therefore, we generally
recommend to compare the readings of this device to data obtained by
your doctor. If there is a difference, always consider the variance into
your final reading.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart
pacemakers!
• If you have been diagnosed with a severe Arrhythmia or irregular
heartbeat, measurements made with this instrument should only be
evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
