NOTES ON SAFETY

• Please read this section carefully to familiarize yourself with features and operations before using the unit.
• Babies, young children, or individuals who cannot express their consent are not suitable to take blood pressure measurements.
• This device is suitable for use by individuals 12 years old or older.
• Individuals with severe arteriosclerosis are not suitable to take blood pressure measurements.
• Blood pressure readings may change in the case of pregnancy. Pregnant women can consult their doctor before taking measurements.
• Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts the movement into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope, so the monitor is simple to use.
• Intelligent inflation will reduce the uncomfortable feeling by incorrect inflation, shorten the measurement time, and prolong the cuff’s usage lifetime.
• No modification of this equipment is allowed.
• Placing the cuff hose around the neck may cause suffocation.
• Do not use alcohol or any other flammable cleaning agent on this device. Use only soap and water.
• Do not use the device near a cell phone, as it may cause incorrect readings.
• Do not use the device in direct sunlight.
• Do not use the equipment where flammable gas (such as anesthetic gas, oxygen, or hydrogen)or flammable liquid (such as alcohol)are present.
• Do not touch the output of the AC adapter and the patient simultaneously.
• Do not touch the live end of the battery and the patient simultaneously when changing the batteries.
• Self-measurement is not medical treatment. Normal blood pressure is 120/80 or less.

Handling batteries properly
