BEFORE USE

Intended use

Panasonic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor Model EW-BU15 is a device intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a pressurized cuff on the arm. The device is designed for people who have an intention of measuring blood pressure value periodically by self measurement and not intended for continuous BP measurement (e.g. 24h measurement).

In case the device repeatedly detects irregularities, please consult your doctor.

People with cardiac pacemakers, cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetics should consult their doctor as different values may be measured in such cases. The same also applies during pregnancy.

Contact health professionals if prehypertensive or hypertensive values are indicated.

Important safety instructions

BEFORE USE

Inserting batteries

*Always use alkaline batteries. (4 AA-size LR6 alkaline batteries)

*When replacing batteries, always use 4 fresh alkaline batteries of the same type from the same manufacturer, and replace them simultaneously.

*If the product will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries.

is pressed.

CAUTION:

Always follow the cautions printed on the batteries.

Check the polarities of the batteries and install them correctly.

Remove exhausted batteries promptly.

If the product will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries.

Batteries should be used before their expiration date.

Use after the expiration date may result in injury or staining of the surrounding area due to generation of heat, bursting, or leakage.

For Batteries

Batteries last for approx. 500 times, which is 3 times/day for 5 months (when using

Panasonic alkaline batteries AA cell LR6). (Under the condition that the room temperature is 23°C, 170mmHg pressured, and the length of upper arm is 30cm.)

If batteries other than alkaline batteries are used or batteries are used in a cold room, or measuring a person with high blood pressure, battery life may be dramatically shorter.

*Use alkaline batteries. (Panasonic Oxyride batteries can also be used.)

Be sure to replace batteries once a year to prevent battery leakage.
