This chart is only a general guideline. Please contact your physician to
determine your NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure can be influenced by many factors. This change can occur
from moment to moment. Normally, blood pressure is lowest during the
sleeping period and rises during the day. The graph below represents the
variations in blood pressure shown over a day with measurements taken
every 5 minutes.

Important Information Before Use

1. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a physician or
a trained health care professional who is familiar with your medical history.
Through regular use of this device and recording of your measurements,
you can keep your physician informed of the changes in your blood pres-
sure.
2. Perform your measurement in a quiet place. You should be seated in a
relaxed position.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical
activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are exhibiting signs of
stress, avoid taking your measurement until the feeling subsides.
4. Rest 15 minutes prior to taking a reading.
5. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with the cuff
placement.
6. Apply the cuff to the proper position on the left wrist. The unit should be
located on the inside of your left wrist with the display panel in view.
7. Keep the monitor stable during measurement to achieve an accurate
reading. Remain still; do not talk during the measurement.
8. Record your daily blood pressure and pulse readings on a chart.
9. Take your readings at the same time, each day (or as recommended by
your physician) to get an accurate indication of change in your true blood
pressure.
10. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes between readings to allow for the blood
vessels to return to normal. The wait time may vary depending on your
individual physiological characteristics.
11. Although such cases are rare, for those with an extremely weak pulse or
irregular pulse, errors may result which prevent proper measurement. If
abnormal variations are noticed, consult with your physician or trained
healthcare professional.
12. This device is intended for adult use.
While taking a measurement, you can stop the inflation or deflation process of the
cuff at any time by pressing the POWER button.
