CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your new blood pressure monitor has been carefully checked to ensure
reliability and accuracy prior to shipment and use. As with any sensitive
instrument subjected to repeated use, the manufacturer recommends your
blood pressure gauge be checked annually by a medical professional for
proper calibration. The unit is properly calibrated when the needle
rests at zero.
To keep your blood pressure monitor in the best condition and protect
the unit from damage follow the directions listed below:
Avoid washing or moistening the cuff. Never immerse any of the
parts in water.
Store the monitor in a safe and dry location. Do not fold the cuff and
tubing tightly.
Avoid subjecting the instrument to strong shocks, such as dropping the
gauge on the floor or hitting the surface of the stethoscope. When the
cuff is fully deflated, the needle stays within the zero indicator on the
gauge. If the needle points outside of the zero indicator the gauge gives
inaccurate readings. Return the unit to the manufacturer for calibration.
Use the unit consistent with the instruction provided in this manual.
Use only authorized parts and accessories.
