lymph nodes.
• Discuss the measured values with your doctor. Do not assess
the measurement results yourself. Never change the dose of
medicines prescribed by your doctor.
• Before carrying out your self-measurement, please pay atten-
tion to the chapter “Important usage information“ on page 45.
• Never open or modify the device or the cuff (except for re-
placing the batteries). If the unit has been opened, it must
be subjected to a metrological inspection by an authorised
institution.
• The cuff may be inflated on the arm only.
• The inflating and measuring procedure can be interrupted by
pressing the Start/Stop button or by removing the cuff. The
device then stops the inflation procedure and deflates the
cuff.
