IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES
AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your blood pressure monitor, basic precautions should
always be followed. Please read and follow all instructions and warnings
before using this product. Save these instructions for future reference.
• This is a home health care product only and it is not intended to serve
as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional.
• This device uses the oscillometric method to measure systolic and
diastolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate.
• DO NOT use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health
problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only.
Consult a health care 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 health care 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 cuff is being used.
• For those who have undergone mastectomy surgery (especially those
who have had lymph nodes removed), it is recommended to take a
measurement on the unaffected side.
• When using medical electronic equipment(s) on the same limb,
pressurization of the cuff may cause temporary malfunction to the
other devices.
• Wearing the arm cuff properly is critical for accurate measurements.
If the circumference of the upper arm differs largely from the
circumference of the forearm, an excessive gap may occur between
the arm and the arm cuff, which could result in an inaccurate
measurement. Please consult your healthcare professional if you have
questions on how to properly wear the arm cuff.
• This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias, those
undergoing intravenous injections on any limb, or those currently on
dialysis treatment. This device may have difficulty determining the
proper blood pressure for users with irregular heartbeat, diabetes, poor
circulation of blood, kidney problems, or for users who have suffered
from a stroke.
