INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientific™ Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (BPW129) as your health product of choice. This product has been designed to provide you with many years of reliable service provided it is used correctly, and can help you measure and track the following metrics:
· Systolic pressure
· Diastolic pressure
· Mean arterial pressure
· Pulse rate
· A historic record of up to 8 measurements

SAFETY AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Safety precautions
Please observe the following safety precautions when setting up and using your blood pressure monitor.
· This device is intended 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 wrist or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
· 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 the measurements of this device. 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 300mmHg, the unit will automatically deflate. Should the cuff not deflate when pressures exceeds 300mmHg, detach the cuff from the wrist and press the ON button to stop inflation.
· T o avoid measurement errors, carefully read this manual before using the product.

Caring for your blood pressure monitor
To ensure you receive the maximum benefit from using this product, please observe the following care guidelines.
· When not in use, store the main unit in the protective plastic container that came with it.
· Do not immerse the main unit in water. If it comes in contact with water, dry it immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
· Use a soft, slightly moistened cloth to wipe off the main unit casing and cuff. Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, as these may cause damage.
· Remove the batteries whenever you are planning to store the main unit for a long period of time.
· When replacing batteries, use new batteries as specified in this user manual. Do not mix new and old batteries.
· Do not place objects such as stickers on the wrist cuff or main unit, as these may impair the measurement.
· Do not subject the main unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature changes, or humidity. Such treatment may result in malfunction, a shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries, or distorted parts.
· Do not tamper with the internal components. Doing so will terminate the product warranty and may cause damage. The main unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
· If you no longer need to use this product, protect the environment by bringing it to your dealer or designated collection point for proper disposal.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force generated by the blood against the walls of arteries during cardiac contraction and relaxation (e.g., the pumping action of the heart).
What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, blood pressure reaches its maximum value. This highest pressure in the cycle is known as systolic pressure. When the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest blood pressure is diastolic pressure.
What is mean arterial pressure (MAP)?
The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average pressure that forces blood through the arteries. It is not the average of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure; rather, MAP corresponds to a state of balance between the compressive and expansive forces acting on the arterial wall when there is no distension outward or inward. MAP is an excellent way to evaluate the stress on the walls of your blood vessels, and can be used to evaluate excessive load on the cardiovascular system. Show your MAP history to your doctor to provide additional information that may help him or her understand your situation.
Why measure your blood pressure?
Blood pressure measurement can highly reflect one’s health condition. High blood pressure is potentially linked to serious illnesses such as stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Since there is no symptom most of the time, many
