Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Welby® Wrist Blood
Pressure Monitor. This fully automatic device
measures blood pressure and pulse rate and checks
detects irregular heart beat fast and easily and then
displays the results on the LCD screen. It works
using the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects your
blood’s movement through your brachial artery and
converts the movements into a digital reading. An
oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope
so the monitor is simple to use by oneself. Please
read this manual thoroughly before use and
save them for future reference. We also highly
recommend that you consult with your physician
or licensed healthcare professional if you have any
questions about your blood pressure either before or
as a result of using this monitor.
Please also save your original receipt as proof
of purchase. It may be required to validate your
warranty in case you need service for this device.

Safe handling of batteries
Batteries may contain combustible materials. If not
handled correctly, batteries can leak, become very
hot, ignite or even explode, which could damage
your device and/or your health. It is very important
that you follow the instructions below:
• Keep batteries away from children. If batteries
are mistakenly swallowed, call poison control or
911 immediately.
• Before inserting the batteries, check that the
contacts in the device and on the batteries are
clean and, if necessary, clean them.
• Never charge batteries (unless it is expressly
specified). Risk of explosion!
• Never short-circuit the batteries.
• Do not dismantle or deform the batteries. You
could injure your hands or fingers or battery
fluid could come into contact with your eyes
or skin. If this happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with a large amount of clean water
and contact your doctor immediately.
• Never expose the batteries to excessive heat
(such as direct sunlight, fire or similar).
• Always observe the correct polarity. Make sure
that the plus (+) and minus (-) poles are correctly
7
inserted to avoid short circuits.
• Remove discharged batteries from the device
immediately.
• Remove the batteries from the device if you do
not intend to use it for an extended period.
• Replace all of the old batteries in device with
new batteries of the same type.
Service & Repairs
Please contact the the Customer Care line if you have
questions about the device or experience technical
problems.
Never try to open or repair the device yourself. There
are no user serviceable parts inside and it will void
your warranty.

About this device
The device is used to measure blood pressure at the
wrist and can save 60 measurement values in each of
two memory spaces.
Proper use
This device is intended for use in dry, indoor areas
only. The device is only intended for private use and
not for clinical or commercial use. Using the device
under extreme environmental conditions may
damage it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against
the walls of the aterties as blood is pumped through
the circulatory system and is measured in millimeters
of mercury (mmHg). The higher the pressure, the
harder the heart has to work to supply blood to the
vital organs in the body.
What are systolic and diastolic
values?
With every heartbeat, blood pressure uctuates
between a maximum value (systolic), when the heart
contracts and pumps blood into the circulatory
system, and a minimum value when the heart
expands and lls up with blood again (diastolic).
10
What is High Blood Pressure and how
is it controlled?
High Blood Pressure, also called by its medical term
Hypertension, is an abnormally high arterial blood
pressure. If left unattended, it can cause many
health problems including stroke and heart attack.
Blood pressure can be higher than usual if parts of
the circulatory system are restricted, diseased or
abnormal in other ways High Blood Pressure can be
controlled by altering one’s lifestyle, avoiding stress,
and with medication under a doctor’s supervision. To
prevent hypertension or to keep it under control:
• Do not smoke
• Exercise regularly
• Reduce salt and fat intake
• Have regular physical checkups
• Maintain proper weight

How does the blood pressure
monitor work?
Your blood pressure monitor contains high quality
components for measuring and to display the results
on the display using the oscillometric method of
blood pressure measurement. It also measures and
displays your pulse.
The device measures blood pressure indirectly using
a cu around the wrist. In ating the cu presses
the arteries together so that no more blood can
ow through them. If the pressure in the cu is then
reduced, this creates a relationship between the
sleeve pressure and the blood pressure.
The device has electronic step valves that can detect
even slight changes during the measurement,
which can be evened out using the cu pressure. By
reducing the pressure step-by-step, uctuations in
the cu are recorded by the device and included in
the assessment. If no uctuations are recorded for a
step, the air pressure is reduced. Existing uctuations
are assessed at the corresponding step level until
they can be determined precisely.
12
Measuring range
The blood pressure monitor shows your blood
pressure (SYS. = systolic and DIA. = diastolic value),
pulse and the time and date on the display. Blood
pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of
mercury).
This devices classi es blood pressure measurements
based on the de nition and standards set by the
World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO de nes high
blood pressure as any measurements above 140
mmHg (systolic) and 90 mmHg (diastolic).
Your blood pressure monitor is tted with a
color indicator that makes it easier to assess your
measurements.
The following summary can further help you to
assess the values of your own results:
