IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES
AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your blood pressure monitor, basic precautions should
always be followed. Please read and follow all instructions and warnings
before using this product. Save these instructions for future reference.
• This is a home health care product only and it is not intended
to serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or
medical professional.
• This device uses the oscillometric method to measure systolic and
diastolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate.
• DO NOT use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health
problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only.
Consult a health care professional for interpretation of pressure
measurements. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any
medical problem. Do not change your medications without the advice
of your physician or health care professional.
• Proper cuff size is critical for accurate measurements. Follow the
instructions in this manual and printed on the arm cuff to ensure the
appropriate size cuff is being used.
• For those who have undergone mastectomy surgery (especially
those who have had lymph nodes removed), it is recommended to
take a measurement on the unaffected side.
• Wearing the arm cuff properly is critical for accurate measurements.
If the circumference of the upper arm differs largely from the
circumference of the forearm, an excessive gap may occur between
the arm and the arm cuff, which could result in an inaccurate
measurement. Please consult your healthcare professional if you
have questions on how to properly wear the arm cuff.
• This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias, those
undergoing intravenous injections on any limb, or those currently
on dialysis treatment. This device may have difficulty determining
the proper blood pressure for pregnant women and for users with
irregular heartbeat, diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney
problems, or for users who have suffered from a stroke.
5
• Excessive use may result in blood flow interference, which is likely
to cause uncomfortable sensations, such as partial subcutaneous
hemorrhage, or temporary numbness to your arm. In general, these
symptoms should not last long. However, if symptoms persist, please
seek advice from a medical professional.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of
heart pacemakers.
• Electromagnetic interference: The device contains sensitive electronic
components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the
direct vicinity of the device (ex. mobile telephones, microwave ovens).
These may lead to temporary impairment of measurement accuracy.
• Consider the electromagnetic compatibility of the device (ex. power
disturbance, radio frequency interference, etc.). Please use this
device in a home healthcare environment only.
• Use blood pressure monitor only for its intended use.
• DO NOT wrap the cuff around body parts other than your arm.
• DO NOT touch, move, or shake the device during a measurement as
this could cause an inaccurate blood pressure reading.
• DO NOT talk or move your arm or hand muscles during a
measurement as this could cause an inaccurate blood pressure
reading.
• DO NOT use this device on infants, children, or those who cannot
express their own intention.
• Not for use by or on persons under the age of 18.
• Use only 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries for power supply.
• The patient is an intended operator.
• The applied part is the cuff.
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the
cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method, within the accuracy limits
prescribed by the American National Standard, manual, electronic,
or automated sphygmomanometers. The sphygmomanometer was
clinically investigated according to the requirement of ISO 81060-2: 2013.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood
flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart
contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood
pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood
flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Both the systolic and diastolic pressure are necessary for a physician to
evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high
blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously
correlates with cardiovascular disease. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.
Why Do My Readings Vary?
Blood pressure is a body parameter that is subject to normal variations
throughout the day. A single reading that is different from yours or
your doctor’s readings are not necessarily inaccurate. The average of
several readings, taken under similar conditions, using the same arm, is
preferred for accurate blood pressure readings.
Why Are My Readings Different Than Those Taken at My
Doctor’s Office?
Many experience a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension”
when measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to blood
pressure that rises above its usual level when measured in a clinical
setting, such as a doctor’s office.
7
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table below contains defined levels for hypertension that are
publicly available from the American Heart Association
®
(AHA 2017).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings against these
defined levels to determine if they may be potentially at increased risk.
This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.
Blood Pressure Category
Systolic mmHg
(upper number)
Diastolic mmHg
(lower number)
Indicator
Color
Normal <120 and <80 Green
Elevated 120–129 and <80 Yellow
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) Stage 1 130–139 or 80–89
Red
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) Stage 2 140–180 or 90–120
Hypertensive Crisis (consult your doctor
immediately)
>180
and/
or
>120
*Source: AHA 2017
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally
don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay above the normal range
most of the time, you may be at increased risk and should consult
your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings
fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category
Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels
and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages
that could potentially indicate increased risk. See Risk Category Index
section for more information on this feature.

Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to
assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for
convenience to help you understand your noninvasive blood pressure
reading as it relates to the American Heart Association
®
information.
They are not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician.
It is important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your
physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the
point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.
HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative GentleInflate
®
technology to measure your
blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the monitor automatically
takes the reading during inflation, then deflates, delivering a quick,
comfortable, and quiet measurement every time.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation will cause
measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will
display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results fall
on the American Heart Association (AHA 2017) table and provides a
cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. Please refer to Risk Category Index section for
more information on this feature.
The appearance of the
icon indicates that a pulse irregularity
consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during
measurement. See Irregular Heartbeat Detector section.

Properly wrapping the arm cuff is important. If the circumference of
the upper arm differs largely from the circumference of the forearm,
an excessive gap may occur between the arm and the arm cuff, and
result in the false detection of excessive body motion.
