IMPORTANT ADVICE - RETAIN FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE
For meaningful comparisons, it is suggested to measure the blood
pressure under similar conditions. For example, daily measurements
should be taken at approximately the same time or as suggested by
a medical professional. Physical activity may affect blood pressure;
rest about 5 minutes before obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
Blood pressure measurements are not a treatment. Initiating treatment
or making changes to a treatment regime should not be implemented
without first consulting a physician.
Measurement error will be indicated on the display. Check the cuff
and tubing for possible kinks or air leaks. Before attempting a
measurement again,ensure that the cuff is properly attached, the arm
is in the proper position and that movement has been minimized
during the measurement process.
If the device does not function:
- Check that the unit is on. After about 3 minutes of inactivity,
the unit will automatically turn off.
- Ensure that batteries are properly inserted. Batteries may be
exhausted and require replacement. A battery-low indicator
[ ] will display to indicate that batteries are low and need
changing.
Measurement errors may occur in persons with very low blood
pressure or heart-rhythm irregularities. For individuals with special
health conditions consult a physician.
Note:
This device is intended for adult use only. Do not use
this unit on children without first consulting a physician.
