All KANOX blood pressure monitors have been approved by Health Canada.
Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with your medical history.
Contact your physician if test results regularly indicate abnormal readings.
If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure.
Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood flow interference.
The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further harm.
DO NOT attach the cuff to a limb undergoing IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt.
