Advice on use
• For consistency, always measure your blood
pressure at the same time each day.
• Before each measurement, relax for about five
minutes.
• When performing multiple measurements on
an individual, wait five minutes between each
measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of
eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
results.
• Measurements are for your information only –
they are no 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 wrist blood pressure monitor on
newborns or patients with pre-eclampsia. Consult
a doctor before using the wrist 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), a wrist
measurement can be inaccurate. In this case
you should avoid using a wrist blood pressure
monitor.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect
measurements or affect measurement accuracy.
The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as
well as chills or shaking.
• The wrist 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 wrist measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of
the limb in question may be impaired.
• During measurement, blood circulation must not
be restricted for an extended period. If the device
malfunctions, remove the device from the wrist.
• 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 blood flow may cause injury.
• Do not use on an wrist in which the arteries
or veins are undergoing medical treatment,
