8. This Electronic Sphygmomanometer is designed for adults and should never be

used for infants or young children. Consult your physician or other health care profes-

sionals before use on older children.

9. Do not use this unit in a moving vehicle, This may result in erroneous measurement.

10. Blood pressure measurements determined by this monitor are equivalent to those

obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within

the limits prescribed by the American National Standard Institute, Electronic or auto-

mated sphygmomanometers.

11. If an irregular heartbeat (IHB) from common arrhythmias is detected in the procedure

of blood pressure measurement, this sign

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.

There are 2 conditions under which the signal of IHB will be displayed:

1) The coefficient of variation (CV) of the pulses is > 25 %.

2) The deviation of the following pulse period is ≥ 0.14 s, and the number of such

pulses amounts to more than 53 % of the total number of measured pulses.

12. Please do not use the cuff other than supplied by the manufacturer, otherwise it may

bring biocompatible hazard and might result in measurement error.

13.

The monitor might not meet its performance specifications or cause a safety hazard

if stored or used outside the temperature and humidity ranges specified in the specifi-

cations.

14.

Please do not share the cuff with other contagious persons to avoid cross-infection.

15. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

- Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

16. This blood pressure monitor is verified by auscultatory method. It is recommended

that you check annex B of ANSI/AAMI SP-10:2002+A1:2003+A2:2006 for details of

verification method if you need.

SETUP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. BATTERY LOADING

a. Open battery cover at the back of the monitor.

b. Load four batteries of the type “AA”. Please pay attention to

polarity.

c. Close the battery cover.

When the LCD shows the battery symbol

, replace all batteries

with new ones.

Rechargeable batteries are not suitable for this monitor.

Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for a month or more to avoid

relevant damage of battery leakage.

Do not let battery fluid get into your eyes. If it should get in your eyes, immediately

rinse with plenty of clean water and contact a physician.

Power supply operation

You can operate the device also with a power supply unit (power supply unit not

included in the scope of delivery).

When using a power supply unit, take care that the listed voltage matches the

voltage of the outlet. Also check that the output current and the polarity of the power

supply unit match the data on the sphygmomanometer. (Power supply unit output:

DC 6 V, 600 mA,

)

Before operating the device with a power supply unit, make sure that the device is

switched off and that no batteries have been inserted. Do not disconnect the power

supply unit while operating the device.

a. Plug the power supply unit into a correctly installed safety socket.

b. Connect the device to the power supply unit by inserting the plug of the power

supply unit into the DC 6 V socket (right side of the device).

If the device is not to be used for some time, disconnect the power supply unit from

the outlet. Also pull the plug of the power supply unit from the DC 6 V socket of the

device.
