BEFORE USE
Panasonic Oscillometric Automatic Arm Blood Pressure Monitor Model EW-BU35 is a
device intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an
adult individual by using a pressurized cu on the arm. The device is not intended for
use on neonatal, infants and children. The device is designed for home use only, not
for ambulatory measurement (measurement recorded continuously during the day).
Specications of this device are listed in page 21.
English
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those
obtained by a trained observer using the cu/stethoscope auscultation method,
within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual, Electronic or
automated sphygmomanometers.
If you suer from disorder of heart rhythm, known as arrhythmia only use this blood
pressure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In certain cases oscillometric
measurement method can produce incorrect readings.
Flashing System for hypertensive readings are based on blood pressure values
classied in the paper: “JNC 7 Express; The Seventh Report of the Joint National
Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood
Pressure; U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES; National Institute
of Health; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; National High Blood Pressure
Education Program; NIH Publication No. 03-5233; May 2003.” The display values are
generally known, but not proven, to be an indicator of your blood pressure.
The EW-BU35 is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. Contact your
physician if prehypertensive or hypertensive values are indicated.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Automatic Arm Blood Pressure Monitor EW-BU35.
Measuring your own blood pressure is an important way of monitoring your health. High
blood pressure (hypertension) is a major health problem which can be treated eectively
once detected. Measuring your blood pressure between doctor visits on a regular basis
English
in the comfort of your home, and keeping a record of the measurements, will help you
monitor any signicant changes in your blood pressure. Keeping an accurate record of
your blood pressure will help your doctor diagnose and possibly prevent any health
problems in the future.
Basics of Blood Pressure
Your heart acts like a pump, sending blood surging through your blood vessels each
time it contracts. Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood pumped from the
heart on the walls of blood vessels. Systolic pressure is the pressure exerted when the
heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. Diastolic pressure is the pressure
exerted when the heart expands, or relaxes. When you or your doctor take your blood
pressure, both your systolic and diastolic pressures are measured. If your blood pressure
measurement is 120 mmHg over 80 mmHg (120/80), for example, your systolic pressure
is 120 mmHg while your diastolic pressure is 80 mmHg.
Important Instructions Before Use
Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measurements 1.
should only be interpreted by a health care professional who is familiar with your
medical history.
If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most 2.
appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed
medication without rst consulting with your physician.
Blood pressure can vary based on many factors, including age, gender, weight and 3.
physical condition. In general, a person’s blood pressure is lower during sleep and
higher when he or she is active. Blood pressure can change easily in response to
physiological changes. The setting in which a person’s blood pressure is measured
can also aect the results.
Having one’s blood pressure measured by a healthcare professional in a hospital
or clinic can cause nervousness and may result in a temporarily elevated reading.
Because blood pressure measurements taken in a clinical setting can vary
considerably from those taken at home, a person’s blood pressure should be
measured not only occasionally in the doctor’s oce, but also on a regular basis at
home. Also, if you nd that your blood pressure is lower at home, this is not unusual.
To accurately compare with your physician’s reading, take your Panasonic blood
pressure monitor to your doctor’s oce and compare readings in this setting.
People suering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, liver disorders or 4.
diabetes, people with cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are
pregnant should consult their physician before measuring their blood pressure
themselves. Dierent values may be obtained due to their condition.
3
Page 5
BEFORE USE
Try to take your blood pressure measurements at the same time and under the same 5.
conditions every day.
The ideal time to measure your blood pressure (to obtain your so-called “base
●
blood pressure”) is in the morning just after waking up, before having breakfast
and before any major activity or exercise. If this is not possible, however, try to take
measurements at a specied time prior to breakfast, and before you have become
active. You should relax for about 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
The following situations may cause substantial variations in blood pressure
readings and should therefore be avoided at least 30 minutes prior to taking your
blood pressure.
Blood pressure will be higher than usual:
- when you are excited or tense
- when you are taking a bath
- during exercising or soon after exercising
- when it is cold
- within one hour after eating
- after drinking coee, tea or other beverages containing caeine
- after smoking tobacco
- when your bladder is full
- when in a moving vehicle
Blood pressure will be lower than usual:
- after taking a bath
- after drinking alcohol

HOW TO USE
About each indicators
To perform a correct measurement, this unit provides a movement detection
function and an irregular pulse warning function. When the indicators appear, the
correct measurement might not have been obtained. If any indicator appears, it is
recommended to repeat the measurement. Stay calm and relax for four to ve minutes,
before perfoming a new measurement.
English
The " * " and " " indicator will be recorded together with the measurement
value.
Movement detection function
The movement detection function is to indicate, with
, extra pressure on the cu caused by movements
of the arm during the measurement. When movement is
detected and the measurement is completed, the indicator
is displayed after ashing for approx. 6 seconds.
If the movements exceed acceptable levels, no reliable
measurement can be performed and the error message "U

Advice:
In general, blood pressure measurements are lower for the second measurement
because you are less nervous and are more tranquil. For people who easily get tense,
measuring twice each time is very eective. It is recommended to store all values
when performing two measurements or more. When taking two measurements,
always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the rst measurement before taking the

Q&A
Q Why are the blood pressure values measured at home dierent from those measured at
the doctor’s oce?
A Blood pressure varies 24 hours a day.
In addition, it can change greatly depending on the weather, your mental state, exercise, etc. .
English
In particular, there is the phenomenon of “White coat hypertension” at doctor’s oces, where
the blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce is higher because of stress or worry.
In addition, if the blood pressure measured at home is sometimes higher and sometimes
lower than the blood pressure measured at the doctor’s oce, the following can be
considered. Please pay attention to these points when taking measurements.
1. Is the cu wrapped rmly?
Make sure that the cu is not wrapped too loosely or too tightly.
●
Is the cu wrapped around the upper arm? Make sure it is not partly covering the elbow.
●
See page 8 for how to wrap the cu correctly.
2. Were you worried or upset during measurements?
Before taking measurements, take 2 or 3 deep breaths and relax, so that your blood pressure
stabilizes.
Q When should I measure my blood pressure?
A We recommend three measurements a day.
First .......... Upon Waking (Because, with almost no inuence from body movement, the
Second ... Before Lunch (Because, with no inuence from the meal, it provides blood
