Important
instructions to
help you obtain
meaningful
readings
• Important: Blood pressure measurement is not
suitable in cases of serious arteriosclerosis
(hardening of the arteries).
• The pulse display is not suitable for monitoring the
frequency of cardiac pacemakers.
• If you suffer from disorders of heart rhythm, known
as arrythmia, you should only use this blood pressure
monitor in consultation with your doctor. In certain
cases the oscillometric measuring method can
produce incorrect readings.
• Pregnant women should only measure their own
blood pressure in consultation with their doctor, since
the readings may be changed by pregnancy.
• You should avoid eating, drinking (alcohol), smoking
and sports before measuring your blood pressure, as
this could affect your blood pressure level.
• Don’t move, don’t speak while measurement is being
taken.
• Make yourself comfortable in a chair and relax before
each reading.
• We recommend that you monitor your blood pressure
twice a day, in the morning after getting up and in the
evening after work, or as advised by your doctor.
• Please remember: Self-measurement is not the
same as medical treatment !
You should never change the dose of medicines
prescribed by your doctor.
