Advice on use

• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your

blood pressure at the same time of day.

• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.

• If you want to perform several measurements on the same

person, wait five minutes between each measurement.

• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eating,

drinking, smoking or exercising.

• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured

value.

• The measurements taken by you are for your information

only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!

Discuss the measurements with your doctor, and never base

any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their

administration)!

• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or pati-

ents with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor

before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.

• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a result of

chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vascular con-

striction), the accuracy of the wrist measurement is limited.

In this case you should avoid using an upper arm blood

pressure monitor.

• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements

or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The

same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circu-

latory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.

• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection

with a high-frequency surgical unit.

• Only use the unit on people who have the specified wrist

measurement for the device.

• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in

question may be impaired.

• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation

must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the

device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.

• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas-

urements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may

cause injury.

• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the

arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intra-

vascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.

• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-

tectomy.

• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further

injury.

• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with bat-

teries.
