Before using the unit

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the HEM-6052 Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor.
This remarkable, compact and easy to use instrument is ideal for
people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure. The
small, pre-formed wrist cuff is very convenient and easy to apply.
With the push of a button the HEM-6052 measures your blood
pressure and pulse and displays the reading on a clear digital
panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at work, and
while travelling. It also stores up to 100 sets of measurements in
memory and displays an average reading based on the three
most recent measurements.
The HEM-6052 uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects the pulse wave
vibrations in the artery of your wrist and converts the oscillations
into a digital reading.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood
pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in
wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure
because the arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected.
Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will
provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication of
changes in your true blood pressure.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly
before using the unit. For specific information about
your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
