your doctor informed with regard to the ongoing
changes in your blood pressure.
• If you suffer from a cardiovascular disease (such as

severe hypertension or peripheral circulatory disor-
ders, etc., please consult your doctor before using
this unit.
• The performance of this device can be in fl uenced
as severe arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular
premature beats or atrial
fi brillation are presented
during measurement.
• The blood pressure measurements conducted with
this unit are equivalent to measurements obtained
by a trained observer in accordance with the values
