4-2. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
- Do not confuse personal blood pressure measurement and self-diagnosis. Blood pressure
readings should be interpreted only by a medical professional, who has knowledge of your
medical condition. The readings do not replace a treatment or a regular examination per-
formed by your physician.
- In the event of medical treatment, consult a physician to find out the best time to take your
blood pressure.
- Do not use this unit on children and elderly people without medical advice.
- This product should not encourage self-medication or changes to your treatment.
- If the cuff pressure is too high or in the event of discomfort, immediately press the ON/
START button to deflate the cuff.
- Do not use the unit in a moving vehicle. This can result in inaccurate readings.
- The blood pressure readings detected by this monitor are equivalent to those obtained by
a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits pre-
scribed by the American National Standards Institute for electronic or automated sphyg-
momanometers.

minutes before taking your blood pressure.

blood pressure on the left arm (if right handed) and right arm (if left-handed). If in doubt,
please talk with your physician.

seated, resting your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart
