SantaMedical BW-210 - Introduction

To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we recommend
that you first consult with your physician or trained health care professional.
Thank you for purchasing an Blood Pressure Monitor. With proper care and use,
your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Monitor uses is called the
oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the
artery in your wrist and converts the movements into a digital reading. The
oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making the monitor easy-to-
use. The preformed cuff requires little effort to apply and is comfortable to wear.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the
wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Because the arteries in the wrist and arm are
connected, changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure.
Frequent wrist blood pressure measurements will provide you and your physician
with an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.
People with severe hypertension, severe arteriosclerosis, or severe diabetes,
should consult their physician about monitoring blood pressure at the arm.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to
measurements obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the National Standard for
Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
