1. Getting to know your instrument

The wrist blood pressure monitor is used for non-in-
vasive measurement and monitoring of adults' arterial
blood pressure.
You can use it to measure your blood pressure quic-
kly and easily, storing the results and displaying the
progression of readings. A warning is issued in case of
possible heart hythm disturbance.
Warning limits for systolic and diastolic pressure (preset
according to WHO guidelines) can also be individually
adjusted (‚Doctor's function').
Keep these instructions carefully for further use and
also let other users have access to them.
