Panasonic Oscillometric Diagnostec™ Portable Automatic Arm Blood
Pressure Monitor Model EW3109 is a device intended to measure
systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult
individual by using a pressurized cuff on the arm. The device is not

for home use only, not for ambulatory measurement (measurement
recorded continuously during the day).
Specification of this device including pulse rate (30 - 160 pulse/min.

Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/
stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by
the American National Standard, Manual, Electronic or automated
sphygmomanometers.
If you suffer from disorder of heart rhythm, known as arrhythmia only
use this blood pressure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In
certain cases oscillometric measurement method can produce incorrect
readings.
Flashing System for hypertensive readings are based on blood
pressure values classified in the paper: "JNC 7 Express; The Seventh
Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection,
Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure; U.S. DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES; National Institute of Health;
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; National High Blood Pressure
Education Program; NIH Publication No. 03-5233; May 2003." The
display values are generally known, but not proven, to be an indicator
of your blood pressure.
