WARNING:
• 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 spe-
cific 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 deter-
mine what will be suitable for you.
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function is not
designed for diagnosing or treating an arrhyth-
mic disorder. Arrhythmia can only be ascer-
tained by a licensed physician.
• The WHO chart is not intended to replace a
medical diagnosis. This chart is only a ref-
erence for different classifications of blood
pressure.
• If you notice abnormal or suspicious variations
in blood pressure measurements, consult your
physician immediately.
• Women who underwent a breast or axillar
lymph node removal operation should consult
a physician or licensed healthcare provider
before starting blood pressure measurements.
• 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 ser-
vice at 1-800-536-0366.
• This device is intended only for personal,
non-commercial, adult use in measuring
blood pressure and pulse rate. Do not use the
product for any other purpose. This product is
not intended for use in a hospital, physician's
office, or any other health care facility.
• The unit must be used in accordance to the
specified ambient conditions, otherwise the
accuracy of readings might be affected. See
section "8. Care, maintenance and storing the
instrument" and section "10. Technical Speci-
fications" for details.
• Do not wrap the cuff around body parts other
than your wrist. Misuse represents a risk to
your health.
