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.
• Excessive use may result in blood flow interference, which is likely
to cause uncomfortable sensations, such as partial subcutaneous
hemorrhage, or temporary numbness to your arm. In general, these
symptoms should not last long. However, if you do not recover in
time, please seek advice from a medical professional.
• Please note that this is a home healthcare 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.
• Consider the electromagnetic compatibility of the device (ex. power
disturbance, radio frequency interference etc.) Please use this
device indoors only.
• Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive
electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic
fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones,
microwave ovens). These may lead to temporary impairment of
measurement accuracy.
• Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health
problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only.
Consult a healthcare 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 healthcare 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 of cuff is being used.
• This device is not suitable for people with arrhythmias. This device
may have difficulty determining the proper blood pressure for
pregnant women and for users with diabetes, poor circulation of
blood, kidney problems or for users who have suffered from a stroke.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart
pacemakers.
• Do not use this device on infants, children, or those who cannot
express their own intention.
• Not for use by or on persons under the age of 18.
• Use blood pressure monitor only for its intended use.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery
walls while blood flows through the arteries. The
pressure measured when the heart contracts and
sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest)
blood pressure. The pressure measured when the
heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is
called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those
associated with high blood pressure are very common.
High blood pressure dangerously correlates with
cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension
that are publicly available from the National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings
against these defined levels to determine if they may be
potentially at increased risk.
This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people
who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay
above the “normal” range most of the time, you may be at
increased risk and should consult your physician.
Category
Normal Less than 120 and Less than 80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
High Blood Pressure
Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99
Stage 2 160 or higher or 100 or higher
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure
readings fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with
a Risk Category Index that automatically compares each
reading to the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if
your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. See page 23 for more information on
this feature.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only
intended to assist you in using this table. The table and cues
are only provided for convenience to help you understand
your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to
the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical
examination by your physician. It is important for you to
consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell
you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at
which you may actually be considered to be at risk
Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect
your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and
pulse. This technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate
level for each individual. With one touch of a button,
the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood
flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process
starts. Please note that any muscle movement
during inflation or deflation will cause measurement
error. When measurement is complete, the
monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic
pressure, and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your
measurement results fall on the NIH’s National Heart
Lung and Blood Institute’s table and provides a cue
if your reading falls into one of the stages that could
potentially indicate increased risk. Please refer to page
23 for more information on this feature.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and
other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after
exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol
or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for
15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state
will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired
or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or
hand muscles.
• See page 29 for additional notes regarding your blood
pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
