Advice on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your
blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• If you want to perform several measurements on the same
person, wait five minutes between each measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measurements with your doctor, and never base
any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their ad-
ministration)!
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns, preg-
nant women or patients with preeclampsia.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a result of
chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vascular con-
striction), the accuracy of the wrist measurement is limited.
In this case you should avoid using an upper arm blood pres-
sure monitor.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including chil-
dren) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a
lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they
are supervised by a person who has responsibility for their
safety or they receive instructions from this person on how
to use the device. Supervise children around the device to
ensure they do not play with it.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements
or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The
same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circu-
latory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people who have the specified wrist
measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas-
urements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may
cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. in-
travascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
