CHECKING FOR ACCURACY
How to Check your Home Blood Pressure Kit for Accuracy
1. Detach manometer from bladder tube. Hold manometer in a vertical position.
2.If the needle on the dial rests within the zero indicator on the face plate, your unit is guaranteed to be accurate.
3.If the needle rests outside the zero indicator, it should be recalibrated.
4.To recalibrate, insert the small screwdriver into the hose connector end of the manometer. Turn the screw driver in either direction without going all the way around the dial to get the needle back to the zero indicator.
5.If the unit cannot be recalibrated using this method, please contact A&D Medical at
