Thank you for purchasing the BP3400 Blood Pressure Monitor. The unit has been constructed

using reliable circuitry and durable materials. Used properly, this unit will provide years of

satisfactory use.

The device is intended for use by individuals 12 years and older to measure the systolic and

diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. All values can be read out in one LCD DISPLAY.

Measurement position is on adult upper arm only.

Blood pressure measurement determined with this device are equivalent to those

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

the limits prescribed by the American National Standard (ANSI/AAMI Sp10) for electronic

sphygmomanometers.

Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation

1. Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks.

2. Do not insert foreign objects into any openings.

3. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.

4. Do not crush the pressure cuff.

5. If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0ºC, leave it in a warm place for about

15 minutes before using it. Otherwise, the cuff may not inﬂate properly.

6. Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity or dust.

7. To avoid any possibility of accidental strangulation, keep this unit away from children and

do not drape tubing around your neck.

8. Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsupervised; some parts are small

enough to be swallowed.

9. Some may get a skin irritation from the cuff taking frequent readings over the course of

the day, but this irritation typically goes away on its own after the monitor is removed.

23 Blood Pressure Information Blood Pressure Information Blood Pressure WHO Blood Pressure Classification Indicator Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries. It is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg.) Systolic blood pressure is the maximum force exerted against blood vessel walls each time the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats.
