the result storage. The design provides you with two years of reliable
service.
Readings taken by the EI-B5000 are equivalent to those obtained by a
trained observer using the cuff and stethoscope auscultation method.
This manual contains important safety and care information, step-by-step

Indications for Use

The SAMSUNG ARM BPM is digital monitors intended for use
in measuring blood pressure and heartbeat rate with arm circumference
ranging from 22cm to 42cm(about 8¾˝-16½˝).
It is intended for adult indoor use only.

Contraindications

1.The device should not be used by any person who may be suspected of, or

2.The device is not suitable for use on patients with implanted, electrical devices,
such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators.

Measurement Principle

This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring Method to detect blood pressure.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a "zero point" equivalent to the
atmospheric pressure. Then it starts inflating the cuff. Meanwhile, the unit detects
pressure oscillation generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to deter-
mine the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure as well as pulse rate.
