• 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 blood 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.

• This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias. This device may have difficulty determining the proper blood pressure for pregnant women, individuals with irregular heartbeat, diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney problems or for users who have suffered from a stroke.

• Use blood pressure monitor only for its intended use.

• Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other than your wrist.

• Consult your physician before measuring blood pressure at the wrist if you have any of the following conditions: severe hypertension, severe diabetes, severe arteriosclerosis, severe kidney disease or vascular disease that may compromise circulation.

• Do not use this device on infants, children, or those who cannot express their own intention.

• 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. microwave ovens). These may lead to temporary impairment of measurement accuracy.

• Not for use by or on persons under the age of 18.

• Use only 1.5v “AAA” alkaline batteries for power supply.

• Excessive use may result in blood flow interference, which is likely to cause uncomfortable sensations, such as partial subcutaneous hemorrhage, or temporary numbness to your wrist. In general these symptoms should not last long. However, if you do not recover in time, please seek advice from a medical professional.

Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual, electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.

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.

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. 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.

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 21 for more information on this feature.

Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg) 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

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 technology to detect your blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for each individual. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. After taking your measurement, the cuff will automatically deflate.

Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.

The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results fall on the NIH’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 21 for more information on this feature.

The appearance of the irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Refer to page 22 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
