Introduction
The Welch Allyn Home™ blood pressure monitor is indicated for adult use in the home or domestic setting only.
The Welch Allyn Home blood pressure monitor features blood pressure measurement via SureBP® Technology, pulse rate measurement, and data management using Bluetooth® Smart technology.
SureBP Technology is an
advanced blood pressure measurement technology that obtains a blood pressure
reading during the inflation cycle (as the cuff pumps up). This technology allows for a faster, more comfortable reading. If on inflation, SureBP Technology is unable to determine a blood pressure due to excessive patient movement or any arrhythmia, it will inflate the cuff to a slightly higher pressure, then measure the blood pressure while deflating the cuff, providing an accurate reading with less chance of a reading failure.
The design provides you with two years of reliable service. Readings taken by the monitor are equivalent to those obtained

by a trained observer using the cuff and stethoscope auscultation method.
This Directions for use contains important safety and care information and provides step by step instructions for using the monitor. Read the manual thoroughly before using the monitor.

Contraindications

Warnings and cautions
WARNING Injury risk. The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of neonatal infants or children.
WARNING Injury risk. The device is not suitable for use on pregnant women, users with implanted electrical devices, users with preeclampsia, premature ventricular beats, atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, and users undergoing intravascular therapy or arteriovenous shunt or people who received a mastectomy. Consult your doctor prior to using the unit if you suffer from any of these illnesses or conditions.
WARNING Injury risk. Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self measurement. Never alter the dose of a medicine prescribed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any question about your blood pressure.
WARNING Injury risk. Keep the unit out of reach of infants, children, or pets, since inhalation or swallowing of small parts is dangerous or even fatal.
10 Welch Allyn Home Blood Pressure Monitor
WARNING Injury risk. The device is not intended to be a selfmeasurement station used in a public place or center. Use the device only in your home or temporary residence.
WARNING Injury risk. Do not burn batteries. Batteries may leak or explode.
WARNING Injury risk. If you experience discomfort during a measurement, such as pain in the arm or other complaints, press the power button immediately to release the air from the cuff. Loosen and remove the cuff from your arm.
WARNING Injury risk. On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during measurement, open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure applied to the arm (cuff pressure >300mmHg or constant pressure >15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) might lead to bruising and discolored skin.
WARNING Injury risk. This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.
WARNING Injury risk. Taking blood pressure measurements too frequently could disrupt blood circulation and cause injuries.
Directions for use 11
WARNING Injury risk. Do not kink the connection tube during use. The cuff pressure might continuously increase, which could prevent blood flow and result in injury.
WARNING Injury risk. Never apply the cuff over damaged skin. This can cause further injury.
WARNING Injury risk. If applying to someone else, do not touch output of the batteries/adapter and the user simultaneously.
WARNING Injury risk. Do not use the unit if you are allergic to polyester or synthetic materials.
WARNING Injury risk. Excessive tube lengths could cause strangulation if you don't manage them properly.
WARNING Injury risk. Do not connect the air tube to other medical equipment. This could cause air to be pumped into intravascular systems or high pressure, which could lead to serious injuries.
WARNING Injury risk. Dispose of accessories, detachable parts, and the device according to the local guidelines.
12 Welch Allyn Home Blood Pressure Monitor
WARNING Injury risk. Do not service or perform any maintenance while using the device.
WARNING Injury risk. Use only accessories approved by the manufacturer. Using unapproved accessories might cause damage to the unit and injure users.
WARNING Injury risk. No modification to this equipment is allowed. Modifying the equipment could damage the unit or endanger the user.
Directions for use 13
Caution This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended for use on extremities other than arm or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
Caution Do not wrap the cuff on the same arm to which another monitoring device is applied. One or both devices could temporarily stop functioning if you try to use them on the same arm at the same time.
Caution To avoid measurement errors, avoid taking blood pressure measurements near a strong electromagnetic field radiated interference signal or electrical fast transient/burst signal.
Caution The materials of the cuff have been tested and found to comply with requirements of ISO 10993-5:2009 and ISO 1099310:2010. It will not cause any potential sensitization or irritation reaction.
Caution Before use, make sure the device functions safely and is in proper working condition.
Caution Use the device in the environment described in this directions for use. Otherwise, you will compromise the device’s performance and reduce its lifetime.
