IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your blood pressure monitor, basic precautions should
always be followed. Please read and follow all instructions and
warnings before using this product. Save these instructions for future
reference.
• Please note that this is a home healthcare product only and it is
not intended to serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician
or medical professional.
• This device uses the oscillometric method to measure systolic
and diastolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate.
• Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health
problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only.
Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of pressure
measurements. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any
medical problem. Do not change your medications without the
advice of your physician or healthcare professional.
• Proper cuff size is critical for accurate measurements. Follow the
instructions in this manual and printed on the arm cuff to ensure
the arm cuff is used properly.
• This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias. This device
may have difficulty determining the proper blood pressure for
pregnant women and for users with irregular heartbeat, diabetes,
poor circulation of blood, kidney problems or for users who have
suffered from a stroke.
• Excessive use may result in blood overflow interference,
which is likely to cause uncomfortable sensations, such as
partial subcutaneous hemorrhage, or temporary numbness to
your arm. In general, these symptoms should not last long.
However, if you do not recover in time, please seek advice from
a medical professional.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of
heart pacemakers.
• Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive
electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic
fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones,
microwave ovens). These may lead to temporary impairment of

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood
flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart
contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood
pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood
flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high
blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously
correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.
Why Do My Readings Vary?
Blood pressure is a body parameter that is subject to normal
variations throughout the day. A single reading that is different from
yours or your doctor’s readings are not necessarily inaccurate. The
average of several readings, taken under similar conditions, using the
same arm is preferred for accurate blood pressure readings.
Why Are My Readings Different Than Those Taken at My
Doctor’s Office?
Many experience a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension”
when measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to blood
pressure that rises above its usual level when measured in a clinical
setting, such as a doctor’s office.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension that
are publicly available from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute
at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html).
5 6
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings against these
defined levels to determine if they may be potentially at
increased risk.
This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.
Category
Normal Less than 120 and Less than 80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
High Blood Pressure
Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99
Stage 2 160 or higher or 100 or higher
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who
normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay above the
“normal” range most of the time, you may be at increased risk and
should consult your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure
readings fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk
Category Index that automatically compares each reading to the
defined levels and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. See
page 29 for more information on this feature.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to
assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided
for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood
pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are
not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician. It is
important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your
physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as
the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative GentleInflate™ technology to detect
your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the monitor
automatically takes the reading during inflation, then deflates,
delivering a quick, comfortable and quiet measurement every time.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation will cause
measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor
will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse
readings.

Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15
minutes before measurement as measurements taken in a relaxed
state have greater accuracy. The Rest Assure Function provides
a helpful countdown of the last 5 minutes of this suggested time*.
Refer to page 16 for more information on this feature.
The Triple-Check (Multi-Read) Function automatically takes and
averages three readings for accuracy you can trust. Refer to page
16 for more information on this feature.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results
fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood Institute’s table
and provides a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that
could potentially indicate increased risk. Please refer to page 29
for more information on this feature.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity
consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during
measurement. Refer to page 30 for more information on the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector.
