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, preg­
nant women or patients with preeclampsia.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure­
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement accu­
racy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure, dia­
betes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills
or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high­frequency 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, blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
• 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.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with batteries
or with a mains part. Please note that data transfer and data
storage is only possible when your blood pressure monitor is
