Dear Customers

Congratulations on purchasing a state-of-the-art A&D blood pressure monitor, one of the most advanced monitors
available today. Designed for ease of use and accuracy, this device will facilitate your daily blood pressure regimen.

We recommend that you read through this manual carefully before using the device for the first time.

Preliminary Remarks

This device conforms to the European Directive 93/42 EEC for Medical Products. This is made evident by the

mark of conformity. (0123: The reference number to the involved notified body)

The device is designed for use on adults only, not newborns or infants.
Environment for use. The device is for use in the home healthcare environment.

This device is designed to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of people for diagnosis.

Precautions

Precision components are used in the construction of this device. Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct

sunlight, shock or dust should be avoided.

Clean the device with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol,

benzene, thinner or other harsh chemicals to clean the device.

Avoid tightly folding the cuff for long periods, as such treatment may shorten the life of the components.
The device is not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and water from soiling the device.

Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to televisions, microwave ovens, X-ray or other devices

with strong electrical fields.

Wireless communication devices, such as home networking devices, mobile phones, cordless phones and their base

stations, walkie-talkies can affect this blood pressure monitor.

Therefore, a minimum distance of 3.3 meters (11 feet) should be kept from such devices.

English 2

Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as ordinary household waste, and must be disposed of

according to the applicable local regulations.

When reusing the device, confirm that the device is clean.

Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to the device.
To measure blood pressure, the wrist must be squeezed by the cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood flow

through the artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary red mark to the wrist. This condition will appear

especially when measurement is repeated successively. Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.

Measuring blood pressure too frequently may cause harm due to blood flow interference. Check that the operation

of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of blood circulation, when using the device repeatedly.

If you have had a mastectomy, please consult a doctor before using the device.
Do not let children use the device by themselves and do not use the device in a place within the reach of infants.

There are small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by mistake by infants.

Contraindications

The following are precautions for proper use of the device.

Do not apply the device to a wrist with other medical electrical equipment attached. The equipment may not

function properly.
People who have a severe circulatory deficit in the arm must consult a doctor before using the device to avoid

medical problems.
Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment by yourself. Always consult your doctor for evaluation of

the results and treatment.
Do not apply the device on a wrist with an unhealed wound.
Do not apply the device on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood transfusion. It may cause injury or

accidents.
Do not use the device where flammable gases such as anesthetic gases are present. It may cause an explosion.
Do not use the device in highly concentrated oxygen environments, such as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an oxygen tent.

It may cause a fire or explosion.
