• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or
patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend consult-
ing 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 constriction), the accuracy of the wrist meas-
urement is limited. In this case you should avoid using
an upper arm blood pressure monitor.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect meas-
urements or have a detrimental effect on measurement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood
pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhyth-
mias as well as chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people (includ-
ing children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental
skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowl-
edge, unless they are supervised by a person who is
responsible for their safety or are instructed by such
a person in how to use the device. Supervise children
around the device to ensure they do not play with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in con-
nection 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.
• Inflating the cuff can temporarily lead to malfunctions
in devices used simultaneously and on the same limb.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the 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
measurements. 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. intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-
venous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
• Please note that data transfer and data storage is only
possible when your blood pressure monitor is supplied
with power. As soon as the batteries are empty, the
blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
