Contraindications
■ ■
Please do not place the cuff over a wound as this may cause further injuries.
■ ■
Do not place the cuff on persons who have had a mastectomy or lymph node
clearance.
■ ■
If an intravascular treatment is present or there is an arteriovenous access
(e.g. AV shunt) on the arm, measuring the blood pressure can lead to injuries.
Never use the cuff on the arm to which these conditions apply.
■ ■
Do not use the blood pressure monitor in the absence of a full arm.
■ ■
If you are prone to hematoma, do not put on a cuff nor carry out a blood
pressure measurement.
Important instructions for self-measurements
■ ■
Even slight changes in internal and external factors (e.g. deep breathing,
stimulants, speaking, excitement, ambient temperature) lead to fluctuations in
blood pressure. This explains why deviating values are often measured at the
doctor or pharmacist.
■ ■
Measurement results depend fundamentally on the measurement location
and the position of the patient (sitting, standing, reclining). They are also
affected by other factors such as exertion and the physiological condition of
the patient. For comparable values, carry out the measurement on the same
location and in the same position.
■ ■
Diseases of the cardiovascular system can lead to erroneous readings or lower
the accuracy of the measurement. Accuracy may also be affected if you have
very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders, arrhythmia, chills or
tremors.
