SAFETY AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Safety precautions

Please observe the following safety precautions when setting
up and using your blood pressure monitor.

This device is intended for adult use only.

This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and
monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended
for use on extremities other than the wrist or for functions
other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.

Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This
unit allows you to monitor your blood pressure. Do not
begin or end medical treatment based solely on the
measurements of this device. Consult a physician for
treatment advice.

If you are taking medication, consult your physician to
determine the most appropriate time to measure your
blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication
without consulting your physician.

This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during
medical emergencies or operations.

If the cuff pressure exceeds 300mmHg, the unit will
automatically deflate. Should the cuff not deflate when
pressures exceeds 300mmHg, detach the cuff from the
wrist and press the ON button to stop inflation.

To avoid measurement errors, carefully read this manual
before using the product.
