  3. you have doubt about the application of the cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy;
  4. you are under medical treatment, to determine the moment of the day in which is more correct to take the measurement of the blood pressure.
  5. you suffer of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetes, or if you have cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse, or if you are pregnant: these factors may produce incorrect readings
  6. Simultaneously used with other monitoring medical equipment on the same limb.
  7. Need to check the blood circulation of the user.
• If Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) brought by common arrhythmias is detected in the procedure of blood pressure measurement, a signal IHB will be displayed. Under this condition, the Electronic Sphygmomanometers can keep function, but the results may not be accurate, it’s suggested that you consult with your physician for accurate assessment. Handling batteries properly. As soon as old batteries run out, replace with new batteries.
• Do not use old and new batteries together. Align the polarities of batteries correctly.
• When the unit will not be used for more than 3 months, remove the batteries. Otherwise, batteries may leak and cause damage to the unit.
• Swallowing batteries and/or battery fluid can be extremely dangerous. Keep the batteries and the unit out of the reach of children and disabled persons.

INTENDED USE

Fully Automatic Electronic Sphygmomanometer is for use by medical professionals or at home and is a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system intended to measure the diastolic and systolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm.

QUICK START GUIDE

• All physical activity, excitement, stress, eating, drinking, smoking, body posture and many other activities or factors (including taking a blood pressure measurement) will influence blood pressure value. Because of this, it is mostly unusual to obtain identical multiple blood pressure readings.
• Blood pressure fluctuates continually day and night. The highest value usually appears in the daytime and lowest one usually at midnight. Typically, the value begins to increase at around 3:00AM, and reaches to highest level in the daytime while most people are awake and active. Considering the above information, it is recommended that you measure your blood pressure at approximately the same time each day.
• Too frequent measurements may cause injury due to blood flow interference, please always relax a minimum of 1 to 1.5 minutes between measurements to allow the blood circulation in your arm to recover. It is rare that you obtain identical blood pressure readings each time.
