Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an Ozeri Fully
Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.
The device uses the oscillometric method of
blood pressure measurement. This method
detects the movement of your blood through
your brachial artery, and converts your blood
pressure into a digital reading. The unit is
simple to use because no stethoscope is
needed while using an oscillometric monitor.
This device automatically stores 1197 sets of
measurement values with date and time data
for 3 users (1197 measurements total). You can
access the stored data simply by pressing the
MEMO button.

Suggestions before Measuring Blood

Pressure

1. Rest for at least 5-10 minutes before taking

your blood pressure.

2. Avoid eating, smoking, exercising, bathing

and drinking (especially alcohol, caffeine or
tea) for at least 20-30 minutes before taking
a measurement, and avoid talking while
measuring your blood pressure.

3. Make sure the wrist cuff is at heart level.

4. Stress raises blood pressure. Try to keep

calm before and during the measurement
process.

5. Wait 2-3 minutes before retaking your blood

pressure measurement.

6. Keep the records for your physician and

refer to your physician for guidance.

Remember that one reading does not
provide a true blood pressure value;
only long-term records will reveal a more
accurate picture of your blood pressure. Try
to take your measurement at the same time

each day to stay consistent.
