Introduction

To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor,
we recommend that you first consult with your physician or trained
health care professional.
Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor. With proper care and use, your monitor will provide you
with many years of reliable readings.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Wrist Monitor
uses is called the oscillometric method. The monitor detects your
blood's movement through the artery in your wrist and converts the
movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not
require a stethoscope, making the monitor easy-to-use. The pre-
formed cuff requires little effort to apply and is comfortable to wear.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood
pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Because the
arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected, changes in wrist
blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure. Frequent
wrist blood pressure measurements will provide you and your
physician with an accurate indication of change in your true blood
pressure.
People with severe hypertension, severe arteriosclerosis, or
severe diabetes, should consult their physician about
monitoring blood pressure at the wrist.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent
to measurements obtained by a trained observer using the
cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed
by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.
