Safety NoticeContents

Thank you for purchasing the BP3600 Blood Pressure Monitor. The unit has been constructed using reliable circuitry and durable materials. Used properly, this unit will provide years of satisfactory use.

The device is intended for use by individuals 12 years and older to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. All values can be read out in one LCD DISPLAY. Measurement position is on adult upper arm only.

Blood pressure measurement determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/ stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard (ANSI/AAMI Sp10) for electronic sphygmomanometers.

Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation

1. Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks.

2. Do not insert foreign objects into any openings.

3. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.

4. Do not crush the pressure cuff.

5. If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0°C, leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes before using it. Otherwise, the cuff may not inﬂate properly.

6. Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity or dust.

7. To avoid any possibility of accidental strangulation, keep this unit away from children

and do not drape tubing around your neck.

8. Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsupervised; some parts are small

enough to be swallowed.

9. Some may get a skin irritation from the cuff taking frequent readings over the course

of the day, but this irritation typically goes away on its own after the monitor is removed.

Safety Notice

Important Instructions Before Use

1. Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with your medical history.

2. Contact your physician if test results regularly indicate abnormal readings.

3. If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed medication without ﬁrst consulting with your physician.

4. Individuals with serious circulation problems may experience discomfort. Consult your physician prior to use.

5. For persons with irregular or unstable circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease, arteriosclerosis or other medical conditions, there may be variations in blood pressure values measured at the wrist versus at the upper arm. Monitoring the trends in your blood pressure taken at either the arm or the wrist is nevertheless useful and important.

6. People suffering from vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetes, people with cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are pregnant should consult their physician before measuring their blood pressure themselves. Different values may be obtained due to their condition.

7. People suffering from arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial ﬁbrillation only use this blood pressure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In certain cases oscillometric measurement method can produce incorrect readings.

8. Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood ﬂow interference.

9. The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.

10. DO NOT attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inﬂation can temporarily block blood ﬂow, potentially causing harm to the patient.

11. The cuff should not be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the case of a double mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.

12. Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used monitoring equipment on the same limb

13. A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cuff pressure resulting in blood ﬂow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient.

14. Check that operation of the unit does not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation of the patient.

15. Product is designed for its intended use only. Do not misuse in any way.

16. Product is not intended for infants or individuals who cannot express their intentions.

17. Any hazards associated with prolonged overinﬂation of the bladder.

18. Do not disassemble the unit or arm cuff. Do not attempt to repair.

19. Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect measurement results.

20. The system might produce incorrect readings if stored or used outside the manufacturer’s speciﬁed temperature and humidity ranges.

21. Do not use cell phones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic ﬁelds, near the device, as they may cause incorrect readings and interference or become interference source to the device.

22. Do not mix new and old batteries simultaneously

23. Replace batteries when Low Battery Indicator appears on screen. Replace both batteries at the same time.

24. Do not mix battery types. Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended.

25. Remove batteries from device when not in operation for more than 3 months.

26. Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

27. Dispose batteries properly; observe local laws and regulations.

28. Only use a recommended AC adapter complying with EN 60601-1 and EN 60601-1-2. An unauthorized adapter may cause ﬁre and electric shock.

3. Arm Cuff 4. Storage Bag

1. Avoid eating, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes prior to testing.

2. Sit in a calm environment for at least 5 minutes prior to testing.

3. Do not stand while testing. Sit in a relaxed position while keeping your arm level with your heart.

4. Avoid speaking or moving body parts while testing.

5. While testing, avoid strong electromagnetic interference such as microwave ovens and cell phones.

6. Wait 3 minutes or longer before re-testing

7. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

8. Test comparisons should only be made when monitor is used on the same arm, in the same position, and at the same time of day.

9. This blood pressure monitor is not recommended for people with severe arrhythmia.

10. Do not use this blood pressure monitor if the device is damaged.

Any blood pressure recording can be affected by the following factors:

1. The position of the subject, his or her physiologic condition;

2. The performance and accuracy of the device;

3. Cuff size: too small cuff (bladder) will produce a higher blood pressure value than usual, too big cuff (bladder) will produce a lower blood pressure value;

4. Measuring position does not keep level with your heart;

5. Speaking or moving body parts while testing;

6. Not relaxing for about 5 minutes before taking the measurement.

5. Medical AC Adapter(DC6.0 V, 600mA) (recommended, not provided)

1. Install batteries. (See Figure A )

2. Insert cuff air plug into the left side of monitor unit. (See Figure B)
