WARNING
Do not take any therapeutic measures based
on your own measurements! Never change
the quantity of medication prescribed by your
doctor!
1.1 Tips for your well being
• Irregularity of pulse or arrhythmia can lead to difficulties in recording a correct
reading when measurements are taken using oscillometric blood pressure devices.
• If you should suffer from conditions such as arterial occlusive disease, please
consult your doctor before using the unit.
• The unit may not be used to check the heart rate of patients with a pacemaker.
• Pregnant patients should take their own personal state of health into
consideration and take all necessary precautions before using the unit. If in
doubt, consult your doctor.
• Should you experience discomfort or other complaints during measurement, for
example pain in the upper arm, please take the following action: Press the
START
button
to deflate the cuff immediately. Loosen the cuff and remove
it from your arm. Please contact either your dealer or
MEDISANA
directly.
• Patients with a weak pulse wave should raise their arm and open and close their
hand around 10 times before taking a reading. This exercise optimizes the pulse
wave and the measuring process.
