FEATURES
We would like to thank you for having purchased a precision GIMA
sphygmomanometer.
All GIMA sphygmomanometers are manufactured with high quality materials
and, when maintained at perfect operating efficiency through regular
calibration checks, ensure complete reliability and precision, even after
several years of use.
Our line of sphygmomanometers offers the same quality standards for both
professional and home models.
The sphygmomanometer you have purchased complies with EEC directive
93/42/CEE.
PRESCRIPTIONS
It must be noted that self-measuring instruments are not a substitute
for regular medical checkups, and that only your doctor can
accurately analyze these measurements.
Arterial pressure is highly influenced by one's nervous tension and physical
fatigue. It is therefore recommended that you perform the measurement
under conditions of both physical and mental relaxation, while in a sitting
or supine position and, where possible, always at the same time of day, far
from meal times.
Remember: do not move while measuring your pressure and do not wear
clothing that covers your arm and could limit blood circulation.
Pressure varies during the day: it is lower in the morning and higher in the
evening; it is also lower in the summer and higher in the winter.
INSTALLATION
After opening the packages, first of all it is necessary to check all pieces
and parts composing the product. Check that they are all present and
in perfect conditions.
Apply the armband to your bare left arm, 2-3 cm. above your elbow joint,
and then prop up your forearm, keeping it at heart level.
Velcro armband: Close the armband using the Velcro strap.
If not specifically indicated, all GIMA sphygmomanometers are equipped
with armbands for adults; upon request, we can provide armbands for
the obese, for use on the thigh and for children, ranging from premature
babies up to 14-year-olds.
Position the earpiece of the stethoscope (preferably our DUCA model) on the
artery, under your arm.
