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 Dot Matrix Automatic Wrist 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 Wrist Monitor uses is called the oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in your wrist and converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require a stetho- scope, making the monitor easy to use. The preformed cuff requires little effort to apply and is comfortable to wear.

Your Wrist Monitor is specially enhanced with on-screen instructions in five different languages. Up to 30 readings per memory bank (60 total measurements) can be viewed on charts or graphs including an average of the readings stored. Your monitor is also designed to take measurements quickly and deflate even faster for increased comfort.

Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Because the arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected, changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure. Consistent wrist measurements will provide you and your physician with an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.

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.

This monitor is designed to function in accordance with the specifications for persons with common arrhythmias, such as arterial or ventricular premature beats or arterial fibrillation.
