CAUTION

!

This device is for adult use only.

This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not
intended for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure
measurement and pulse rate.

Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your blood pressure. Do
not begin or end medical treatment based solely on self-monitoring, consult a physician for treatment advice.

If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your
blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting your physician.
This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.

If the cuff pressure exceeds (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deate. Should the cuff not deate when

pressures exceeds (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the arm and press the START/ST OP button to stop

ination.

To avoid measurement errors, carefully read this manual before using this device.

This device is not AP/APG equipment and not suitable for use in the presence of a ammable anesthetic

mixture with air, or with oxygen, or nitrous oxide.

Please avoid strong electromagnetic elds as they may interfere with or damage this device.

Always check this device to make sure that it is in proper working condition before use.
