Important instructions for use
3.
Refrain from drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages and smoking at least one hour before measuring.
•
Please rest at least 5 minutes before measuring. Depending on the previous degree of stress/exertion, this can even
require up to one hour.
•
Expose the upper arm. Clothing must not impair the blood flow in or from the arm, as this influences the blood pres-
sure at the measurement point.
•
For this purpose, sit at a table (if possible the height of a dining table, not a coffee table!).
-
Body posture must be relaxed:
•
Rest your back against the backrest of the chair.
-
Rest your forearm completely flat, with the palm of your hand facing upwards.
-
Place your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
-
It is absolutely essential to sit still and remain quiet. Irregular movements, vibrations (shaking), talking and breathing
heavily will affect and may even falsify the measurement. Look out for irregular pulse signals in the display; if neces-
sary, repeat the measurement under more favourable conditions.
•
Unusual measurement results are possible with all automatically measuring blood pressure measurement systems from
time to time. Check yourself: did you comply with the instructions for use above? If necessary, repeat the measurement
after allowing the blood circulation in the arm to recuperate briefly; rest for about 3-5 minutes for this purpose.
•
Tip: Remain seated, your monitor will switch off automatically about 3 minutes after a measurement. Afterwards, we
recommend that you repeat the measurement.
Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It may fluctuate upwards or downwards by more than 20 mmHg on patients within
a few minutes.
