Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation
1.Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks.
2.Do not insert foreign objects into any openings.
3.Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
4.Do not crush the pressure cuff.
5.If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0°C, leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes before using it. Otherwise, the cuff may not inflate properly.
6.Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity or dust.
IMPORTANT:
•WHO does not define a low blood pressure area.
For reference, systolic pressure readings of less than 90 mmHg are considered to indicate low blood pressure regardless of the diastolic pressure.
•Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because fluctuations in a person’s blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible, measure and record your blood pressure at the same time every day, and consult your physician if you have questions or concerns.
•If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement, please consult your physician.

Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)
If your systolic pressure falls in one category but your diastolic pressure in another, your level is classified in the higher of the two categories.

About the Precise Logic™ Measurement System
The blood flow (pulse wave) which influences blood pressure monitors varies according to the conditions of the blood vessels and the structure of the arm, making measurements by conventional methods difficult in some cases. For more consistent, accurate results, this device employs a Precise Logic™ measurement system that verifies both the height and width of the pulse wave in order to reliably measure blood pressure.
Panasonic Technology
Double Check Measurement System
Checks both Pulse Height and Pulse Width
Old Technology
Relies only on Pulse
Height
By using the Precise Logic™ measurement system, measurement reliability and accuracy have been improved.
