Important information before
using the unit
•If taking multiple measurements, please allow 10 minutes between measurements. This will allow your blood ves- sels to return to their normal state.
•If you have consumed beverages containing caffeine or have smoked, please allow 30 - 45 minutes before taking your measurement.
•Do not place the cuff over a jacket
or sweater sleeve; it must be wrapped around your exposed upper arm.
• Keep in mind that blood pressure naturally varies from time to time throughout the day and is affected by many different factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, medication, and physical activity.
•Blood pressure measurements taken with this unit are equivalent to those 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.
•Make sure the cuff plug is attached to the monitor as shown above.
