Specifications of this device are listed in page 21.
Blood pressure measurements 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, Manual, Electronic or
automated sphygmomanometers.
If you suffer from disorder of heart rhythm, known as arrhythmia only use this blood

Pressure; U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES; National Institute
of Health; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; National High Blood Pressure
Education Program; NIH Publication No. 03-5233; May 2003.” The display values are
generally known, but not proven, to be an indicator of your blood pressure.
