INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientifi c Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientifi c Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientifi c
Type Blood Pressure Monitor (BPW810N). The (BPW810N)
features voice announcement and playback of blood
pressure measurements for added convenience and has been
designed to provide you with many years of reliable service.
The unit can help you measure and track the following metrics:
• Systolic pressure
• Diastolic pressure
• Mean arterial pressure
• Pulse rate
• Historic record of up to 30 measurements per user
(maximum 2 users)
Readings taken by the blood pressure monitor are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using
the cuff and stethoscope auscultation method. Clinical
performance were successfully done against ANSI/
AAMI SP10 and international protocol, and the B.H.S.
(British Hypertension Society) has rated this product
"recommended for clinical and home use", the highest
grading available for blood pressure monitors.

to determine the most appropriate time to measure
your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed
medication without consulting your physician.
• This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring
during medical emergencies or operations.
• If the cuff pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg),
the unit will automatically defl ate. Should the cuff not
defl ate when pressures exceeds 40 kPa (300mmHg),
detach the cuff from the wrist and press the
to stop infl ation.
• To avoid measurement errors, carefully read this
manual before using the product.
