impairment of patient blood circulation.
Not intended to be used together with HF surgical equipment.
Do not forget: self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values must
always be discussed with your doctor. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any
drugs prescribed by your doctor.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers!
In cases of IHB (Irregular Heart Beat), measurements made with this instrument should only be
evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
Electromagnetic interference
The device contains sensitive electronic components (Microcomputer). Therefore, avoid strong electrical or
electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave cookers).
These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy.

Important information on the subject of blood-pressure and its measurement
2.1. How does high/low blood-pressure arise?
As your heart beats, it pumps your blood round your body so that your muscles can get all the energy and
oxygen they need. To do this, your heart pushes your blood through a network of blood vessels called
arteries. As the blood travels through the arteries it pushes against the sides of these blood vessels and the
strength of this pushing is called your blood pressure.
As your heart squeezes and pushes your blood through your arteries, your blood pressure goes up. As your
heart relaxes, your blood pressure goes down. So, with each heartbeat, your blood pressure will rise to a
maximum level and then fall to a minimum level.
2.2. Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or the systolic
blood-pressure is over 160 mmHg. In this case, please consult your doctor immediately. Long-term values
at this level endanger your health due to the associated advancing damage to the blood vessels in your
body.
Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and 160 mmHg and/or the diastolic
