• This device is intended for adult use only and for noninvasive 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

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 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit
will automatically deflate. If it does not deflate when
pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300mmHg), detach the cuff from
the wrist and press the power button to stop inflation.
