standards EN1060-1 (Non-invasive blood pressure measuring devices Part 1:
General requirements) EN1060-3 (Non-invasive blood pressure measuring devices
Part 3: Supplementary requirements for electromechanical blood pressure measu-
ring systems). Regular checks on measuring accuracy are necessary according to
the “Directive for users of medical products” when the computer is used for indu-
strial or commercial purposes. For private use also, we recommend that you have
the measuring accuracy checked by the manufacturer at 2-yearly intervals.
Keep these operating instructions available for further use and also make them
available to other users.
2. Caution – For Your Safety!
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of day in order to
ensure comparability of the readings.
• Relax for about 3 – 5 minutes before every measurement.
• Wait 5 minutes between successive measurements.
• The measurements you make yourself are only for your information – they
are no substitute for a medical examination! Discuss your readings with
your doctor and on no account make your own medical decisions (e.g.
drugs and their dosages).
• The wrist measurement will be less accurate if an arm suffers from restric
ted blood circulation resulting from chronic or acute vascular diseases
(including vasoconstrictions). In this case, use a sphygmomanometer for
measurements on the upper arm.
• Measuring errors can occur in diseases of the cardiovascular system, as
well as with very low blood pressure, irregular blood circulation and
arrhythmia and also in the case of other symptoms.
The blood pressure computer consists of precision-made electronic
components. The measuring accuracy and life of the computer depend on
the care with which it is treated:
- Protect the computer from shocks and be careful not to drop it,
- Protect it against moisture, dirt, wide fluctuations in temperature and the
direct rays of the sun,
