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 a mastectomy surgery (especially those
who have had lymph nodes removed), it is recommended to take a
measurement on the unaffected side.
• 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 health care 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.
• This monitor is clinically validated for use in pregnancy and preeclampsia.
If you experience unusual readings, even after the recommended rest
period, please consult your medical professional.
