Notes 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 of eating, drink-
ing, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measured values taken by you are for your information only
– they are no substitute for a medical examination. Discuss the
measured values 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 patients
with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor before
using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• 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 device on people who have the specified upper
arm measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the de-
vice malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
