Introduction

To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we recommend that you first consult with your physician or trained healthcare professional.

Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.

The method of measurement that your Monitor uses is called the oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in your arm and converts the move- ments into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making the monitor easy to use.

Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
