The device must be used in accordance with the procedures described in this manual. It is important to read and understand the entire manual, especially the section < IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS >.
This device s intended for the non-invasive measurement of systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure and pulse rate in adults and children 15 years old and above.
CAUTION:

1. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.
2. The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children under 15 years of age.
3. People who suffer from arrhythmia, cardiovascular problems or who have had a stroke should consult their doctor before using the device.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
This device adopts the oscillometric technology with Fuzzy Algorithm to measure the arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The cuffis wrapped around the arm and automatically inflated by the air pump. The sensor of the device catches weak fluctuation of the pressure in the cuff produced by extension and contraction of the artery of the arm in response to each heartbeat. The amplitude of the pressure waves is measured, converted to millimeters of the mercury, and is displayed by a digital value.
ATTENTION: This device can not provide reasonable accuracy if used or stored in the temperature, humidity or altitude beyond the range stated in the section of this manual.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES USED
Fuzzy Algorithm is the processing algorithm, taking into account the specialty of individual heartbeats, which provides higher accuracy of measurement. Software version: V1.1

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

It is necessary to know that arterial blood pressure is subjected to fluctuations. The level of the arterial blood pressure depends on many factors. Generally arterial blood pressure is lower in summer and higher in winter. Arterial blood pressure changes with atmospheric pressure and is affected considerably by many factors, medications, drinking, and smoking can greatly affect the level of an individual’s blood pressure. Blood pressure does vary with age
