SAFETY INFORMATION INTENDED USE This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the readings. To assure the correct use of the product, basic safety measures should always be followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual.
SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL USAGE Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement values and self-treatment are dangerous. Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following conditions: • If you have had a mastectomy. • People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can cause bruising.
SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL PRECAUTIONS • Do not forcibly crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively. • Do not press the air tube while taking a measurement. • To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor, not the tube itself.
BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations: 1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement. 2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times. 3.
