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 cuff 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).
Specifications of this device are listed in page 21.
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers.
If you suffer 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 classified 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 effectively once detected. Measuring your blood pressure between doctor visits on a regular basis in the comfort of your home, and keeping a record of the measurements, will help you monitor any significant 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
111Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a health care professional who is familiar with your
medical history.
222If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed
medication without first consulting with your physician.
333Blood pressure can vary based on many factors, including age, gender, weight and 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 affect 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 office, but also on a regular basis at
home. Also, if you find 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 office and compare readings in this setting.
444People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetes, people with cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are pregnant should consult their physician before measuring their blood pressure themselves. Different values may be obtained due to their condition.

BEFORE USE
555 Try to take your blood pressure measurements at the same time and under the same |
|
|
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 specified 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 |
English |
|
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 coffee, tea or other beverages containing caffeine |
|
|
- 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 |
|
|

IMPORTANT:
●● Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because fluctuations in a person’s blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible, measure and record your blood pressure at the same time every day, and consult your physician if you have questions or concerns.
●● If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement, please consult your physician.
