Safety information and important precautions
To ensure accurate measuring results, read the complete instructions for use carefully.
People suffering from renal diseases, cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in the
extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring
their blood pressure themselves. Deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.
If your blood pressure reading is in the hypertensive crisis range with a systolic blood pressure value
higher than 180 mmHg and / or a diastolic blood pressure value higher than 120 mmHg and you find
you have one or two readings in this range - please see your doctor immediately.
The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for a consultation with
your doctor.
Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing. Continuous cuff pressure due to the
connection tubing kinking can affect blood flow and cause possible injury to the user.
DO NOT use this device on the arm of the same side of the body on which the user had a mastectomy.
Measuring blood pressure too frequently can cause injury to the user due to blood flow interference.
DO NOT apply the cuff to a limb on which there is intravascular access or on which an arterio-venous (A-V)
shunt is present. This can cause temporary interference of blood flow and potential injury to the user.
DO NOT apply the cuff over a wound as this can cause further injury.
DO NOT use the device while simultaneously using other medical electrical (ME) equipment.
DO NOT use this device on neonatal and infant subjects, pregnant, including pre-eclamptic, subjects,
or persons who cannot express their intentions.
Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
ALWAYS take readings at the same time of day, under the same conditions.
DO NOT take a measurement within 30 minutes of smoking, drinking coffee or tea or any form of
exertion. These factors will influence the measurement.
ALWAYS measure on the same arm. The left arm is recommended. DO NOT move or speak. Keep your
legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor.
Place the cuff in direct contact with the skin. DO NOT wrap the cuff over a jacket, sweater or shirt.
If you want to take multiple measurements, wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a
measurement.
Inserting batteries
(See Fig. 2-3)
• Remove the battery compartment cover at the
bottom of the unit and insert 4 AA LR6 alkaline
batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in
the battery compartment).
• Note: ALWAYS re-set date and time after
replacing new batteries to make sure the
measurement results are stored with correct
date and time.
Only discard empty batteries.
They should not be disposed of in the
household waste, but at appropriate
collection sites or at your retailer.
