Panasonic Oscillometric Automatic Arm Blood Pressure Monitor Model EW-BU04 is a
device intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an
adult individual by using a pressurized cuff on the arm. The device is not intended for use
on neonatal, infants and children. The device is designed for home use only, not for
ambulatory measurement (measurement recorded continuously during the day).
Specifications of this device are listed in page 21.
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those
obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the
limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual, Electronic or automated
sphygmomanometers.
If you suffer from disorder of heart rhythm, known as arrhythmia only use this blood
pressure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In certain cases oscillometric
measurement method can produce incorrect readings.
Flashing System for hypertensive readings are based on blood pressure values classified
in the paper: "JNC 7 Express; The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on
Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure; U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES; National Institute of Health;
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; National High Blood Pressure Education
Program; NIH Publication No. 03-5233; May 2003." The display values are generally
known, but not proven, to be an indicator of your blood pressure.
The EW-BU04 is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. Contact your physician
if prehypertensive or hypertensive values are indicated.
