20 Taking Care of Your Blood Pressure Monitor
It’s important to treat your monitor with care. Here are some
common sense tips:
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight, high humidity, and
extreme temperature changes.
Try not to drop it on the floor.
Do not take the monitor or the cuff apart. None of the moni-
tor’s parts are fixable at home. If your monitor needs repairs
see details in warranty section.
Keep the monitor free of dust and other materials. Avoid
getting any part of the monitor or cuff extremely wet. If
the monitor needs cleaning it’s best to wipe it with a cloth
slightly dampened with water. Healthy Living recommends
cleaning your monitor about once a month.
Do not harshly fold or bend the cuff as this may damage
it on the inside.
Do not inflate the monitor’s cuff if it is not wrapped around
your wrist.
For your safety, do not wrap the cuff around any other
body part other than your wrist.
