Please read and follow all instructions and warnings before using this product. Save these instructions for future reference. • Please note that this is a home healthcare product only and it is not intended to serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional. • Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of pressure measurements. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any medical problem. Do not change your medications without the advice of your physician or healthcare professional. • Proper cuff size is critical for accurate measurements. Follow the instructions in this manual and printed on the arm cuff to ensure the appropriate size of cuff is being used. • This product is not suitable for people with arrythmias. This device may have difficulty determining the proper blood pressure for individuals with diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney problems or for users who have suffered from a stroke. 3 • The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers. • Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These may lead to temporary impairment of measurement accuracy. • Use blood pressure monitor only for its intended use. • Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other than your arm. • This unit is intended for use in measuring the blood pressure and pulse rate of adults. Do not use this device on infants or those who cannot express their own consent. This unit should not be operated by children. • Do not plug or unplug the adapter power cord with wet hands. Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope ausculatory method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual, electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers. 4 ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure. Why Measure Your Blood Pressure? Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for identifying those at risk. BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health have developed a blood pressure standard that identifies areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure. This standard, however, is a general guideline as an individual’s blood pressure varies among different people, age groups, etc. 5 Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood pressure, are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not have other conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease. To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification. There is an exception to the above def...
