• The measurements 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 meas-
urement accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders
and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory
or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, 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 connection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people that have the specified upper arm measurement for the unit.
• 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 unneces-
sarily 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 measurements. The resulting restriction of
the blood flow may cause injury.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arteries or veins are undergoing med-
ical treatment, e.g. intravascular access or intravascular or therapy, or an arteriovenous (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 upper arm 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.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor switches off automatically if you do not press
any buttons for two minutes.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in these instructions for use. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage resulting from improper or careless use.
