GENERAL REMARKS

General remarks on blood pressure and blood pressure
measurement

1. To defl ate the cuff quickly, press the “START/STOP” switch.

2. Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the
appropriate size cuff:
Cuff (model: SCN-003) fi ts arm circumference: 22-32cm

[OPTION]

Large Cuff (model: SCL-005) fi ts arm circumference: 32-42cm

3. When attaching the cuff, adjust the position of the cuff so that the blue marker
is located in the center of your arm and the hem of the cuff is 1-2 cm for Cuff /
2-3 cm for Large Cuff above your elbow.

4. The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device, because it is intended for
home use.

5. Self measurement is not therapy! In no event should you change the dosage of
your medication prescribed by your physician.

6. As preparation for measuring your blood pressure, you should urinate and then
remain relatively still for 10 to 15 minutes prior to measurement.

7. Exercising, eating, drinking, smoking, etc., prior to measurement may affect the
results.

8. Your blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day. Measurements
should be taken regularly at the same time each day.

9. DO NOT place too much emphasis on the results of one measurement. Keep a
continuing record of your blood pressure variations. A complete picture can only
be obtained from a large number of readings.

10. Emotional stress tends to cause your blood pressure to rise.

To obtain correct blood pressure measurements

1.

Take fi ve or six deep breaths and then relax before measuring your blood pressure.
If you are tense when taking the measurement, you will not get a valid reading.

2. Your blood pressure will be elevated if you are anxious or irritated, suffering from
lack of sleep or constipation, or have just taken some exercise or eaten a meal.

3. Wrap the cuff around your arm and tighten it so that one fi nger can be inserted
between the cuff and arm. (

4. DO NOT measure your blood pressure after bathing or drinking.

5. If you feel the need to urinate, do so before measuring your blood pressure.

6. Measure your blood pressure where the room temperature is around 20°C. DO
NOT measure your blood pressure when it is too cold (below 10°C) or too hot
(above 40°C) in the room.

7. DO NOT try to measure your blood pressure immediately after drinking coffee or
tea or after smoking.

GENERAL REMARKS

8. Measure your blood pressure when you are relaxed and still. Keep the center of

English

the cuff at the level of your heart and DO NOT move your arm or talk.

9. DO NOT measure blood pressure when the cuff has been on your arm for a few
minutes or more. During this time, your arm will have built up a higher blood
pressure and you will not get valid reading.

10. If the Body Movement Indicator or Irregular Heartbeat (IHB)Indicator is
displayed, relax and measure your blood pressure again. If the Irregular
Heartbeat (IHB) Indicator appears frequently, you are advised to consult a
doctor about your health condition. (

11. The fi gure below shows the blood pressure classifi cations under the WHO
standards.

Defi nitions and Classifi cations of Blood Pressure Levels

12. Intended Use

• This device is noninvasive blood pressure monitor by oscillometric method.

This device can measure the systolic blood pressure (SYS), the diastolic blood
pressure (DIA) and the pulse rate automatically.

• This device is intended to be used for checking personal health condition at

home under the direction of a physician and is not intended to be a diagnostic
device.

• This device is not intended for use with neonates or infant, and not intended

for automatic cycling measurement.

See page 19)

Remarks:

The graph is not exact, but
may be used as a guide in
understanding non-invasive
blood pressure measurements.
The device is only intended for
use by adults.

Measure your blood pressure at the same time each day.

* Your blood pressure changes all the time. This means that data gathered over

中文

a long period has far more signifi cance than data from just one measurement.
For this reason, you must measure your blood pressure on a daily basis. Ideally,
you should measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, wherever
possible.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

Precautions for use

1. If you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure or other circulatory disease,
consult your physician before using the monitor.

2. Infl ating to a higher pressure may result in bruising where the cuff is applied.
If the cuff pressure feels abnormal or you experience any other irregularity while
using the cuff, reduce the pressure immediately by pressing the “START/STOP”
switch, detach the cuff or unplug the air hose connector from the monitor and
then consult the sales outlet where you purchased the monitor.

3. If you think the measurement is abnormal or if measurement makes you feel
unwell, discontinue use and consult your physician.

4. Blood pressure measurement may not be possible for anyone with a weak pulse
or arrhythmia.

5. Repeated blood pressure measurement and prolonged overinfl ation may cause
problems such as congestion or swelling in some people.

6. Frequently repeated blood pressure measurements will not give accurate
results. Allow an interval of about 1 minute between measurements.

7. If you suffer from a severe problem with blood circulation in your arms, consult
your physician before using the monitor. Failure to do so could be hazardous to
your health.

8. Measurement may not be possible for anyone with insuffi cient blood fl ow to the
area where measurements will be taken or who suffers from a frequent irregular
heartbeat. Consult your physician for advice on whether to use the monitor.

9. DO NOT wrap the cuff around an injured arm.

10. DO NOT wrap the cuff around an arm in which a drip (intravenous infusion)
is inserted or which is being used for blood transfusion as part of medical
treatment. Doing so could result in an injury or a serious accident.

11. DO NOT use the monitor in the vicinity of fl ammable gases such as those used
for anaesthesia. Doing so could ignite the gases and cause an explosion.

12. DO NOT use the monitor in enriched oxygen environments such as a hospital’s
hyperbaric chamber or oxygen tent. Doing so could ignite the oxygen and
cause a fi re.

DO NOT use mobile phones near the monitor as this could result in a malfunction.

13.

14. If you use a cardiac pacemaker, consult your physician before using the monitor.

15. Be sure to use this unit only for measuring blood pressure. DO NOT use it for
any other purpose.

16. Be sure to use only our authorized parts and accessories. Parts and
accessories not approved for use with the device may damage the unit.

17. DO NOT use this unit on infants.

18. Blood pressure measurement may not be possible for anyone with common
