WARNING
Do not take any therapeutic measures based on your own

prescribed by your doctor!
• 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.

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.
