1.2. Important information about self-measurement
•
Do not forget: self-measurement means control, not diagnosis
or treatment. Unusual values must always be discussed with
your doctor. Under no circumstances should you alter the
dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.
•
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of
heart pacemakers!
•
In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements
made with this instrument should only be evaluated after con-
sultation with the doctor.
Electromagnetic interference
The device contains sensitive electronic components
(Microcomputer). Therefore, avoid strong electrical or electromag-
netic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile tele-
phones, microwave cookers). These can lead to temporary impair-
ment of the measuring accuracy.
