Measure blood pressure with a relaxed and quiet posture. Keep the center of the cuff at the level of your heart, and do NOT move your arm or talk during measurement.

Do NOT keep on measuring so many times, as your arm will have built up congestion of blood, and you will not get a valid reading.

PRECAUTION FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

Precautions for use

If you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure or other circulatory disease, please consult your doctor first.

If you feel abnormal pressure of the cuff during use or any other irregularity, reduce the pressure by immediately switching off the power or removing the batteries and con- sult the sales outlet where purchased.

If you think the measured value is abnormal or if measur- ing makes you feel unwell, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Measurement of blood pressure may not be possible for someone with a weak pulse or arrhythmia.

Congestion, swelling, etc. may occur in some people.

If blood pressure is measured repeatedly, an accurate re- sult will not be achieved. An interval of about 10 minutes should be allowed.

The memory is erased if the batteries are removed for re- placement, etc. and a record should be kept of any neces- sary data.

Precautions for maintenance

Do NOT store the blood pressure monitor where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature (over 60˚C), low temperature (below –20˚C), high relative humidity (over 95%) or in a dusty place.

Do NOT expose the blood pressure monitor to under force or vibration, or drop it.

Remove the battery/batteries when not in use for a long pe- riod.

Do NOT disassemble the apparatus.

Do NOT bend the cuff or air hose unnecessarily.

NEVER wipe the blood pressure monitor with thinner or benzene, as they may damage it.

When the monitor is very dirty, wipe it clean with a cloth moistened with Sterilizing alcohol or a neutral detergent, and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Do NOT use thinner or benzene.
