Consult your doctor before measuring your own blood pressure if …
■
you are pregnant. Blood pressure may vary during pregnancy. Regular blood
pressure monitoring is particularly important if you have high blood pressure
because elevated values may affect foetal development. Check with your
doctor in any case to find out if and when you should measure your own blood
pressure, especially if you suffer from pre-eclampsia.
■
you have diabetes, liver function disorders or narrowing of blood vessels (e.g.
arteriosclerosis, peripheral arterial occlusive disease) or other pre-existing
disorders or physical anomalies: in these cases, deviating measurements may
occur.
■
you have certain blood disorders (e.g. haemophilia) or severe circulatory
disorders or are taking blood thinning medications.
■
you are on dialysis or taking anticoagulant medications (anticoagulants), platelet
aggregation inhibitors or steroids.
■
you wear a cardiac pacemaker: this may lead to deviating measured values. The
blood pressure monitor itself has no impact on cardiac pacemakers. Please note
that the pulse rate displayed is not suitable for checking the frequency of cardiac
pacemakers.
■
you tend to bruise easily and/or are sensitive to pressure pain.
■
you have a severe heart rhythm disorder or arrhythmias or atrial fibrillation (Afib).
■
If this symbol increasingly appears, it may indicate heart rhythm disorders
or arrhythmias. If this is the case, please consult your doctor. The use of the
Duo Sensor measuring technology means that although the device is particularly
suitable for patients with heart rhythm disorders, it is nevertheless possible that
measurements may be incorrect in particularly severe cases (severe heart rhythm
disorders, arrhythmia and atrial fibrillations). Please discuss with your doctor
whether taking your own blood pressure readings is suitable for you.
■
Your self-measured values are for your information only – they are not a
substitute for a medical examination! Discuss your measurements with your
doctor and under no circumstances make your own medical decisions based on
these measurements (e.g. medications or their dosage)!
■
Measuring your own blood pressure is not a substitute for medical treatment!
Do not interpret your measured values by yourself and do not use them for
self-prescribed treatment. Take measurements based on the instructions of your
doctor and trust his or her diagnosis. Take medications as prescribed by your
doctor and never change the dose on your own. Discuss the appropriate time to
measure your blood pressure with your doctor.
