• Please note that technically related measuring
tolerances are possible. Please see section '13.
Technical Specifications' for details. NOTE: A
single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure. You need
to take and record several readings over a period
of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the
same time each day for consistency.
• Any cuff related blood pressure measurement
in high repetition rates, can lead to severe
measurement side effects, e.g.
– any nerve compression with temporary arm/
hand paralysis
– the release of an arterial or venous thrombus,
which can cause a life threatening situation.
• Please contact your physician about the specific
risks of cuff pressure in your specific case.
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function does not replace
a cardiac examination, but may help to detect
potential pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Always consult your physician to determine what
will be suitable for you.
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function is not designed
for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmic disorder.
Arrhythmia can only be ascertained by a licensed
physician.
• The WHO chart is not intended to replace a medical
diagnosis. This chart is only a reference for different
classifications of blood pressure.
• If you notice abnormal or suspicious variations
in blood pressure measurements, consult your
physician immediately.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone
a mastectomy.
• Prior to use, you have to ensure that the blood
pressure monitor is free of damage. If in doubt, do
not use the unit and contact customer service at
1-800-536-0366.

commercial, adult use in measuring blood pressure
