• 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,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
• The measured values taken by you are for your informa-
tion only – they are no substitute for a medical examina-
tion. Discuss the measured values with your doctor and
never base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medi-
cines and their administration).
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or
patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
• 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,
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 connec-
tion 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 circu-
lation 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
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 medical 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 fur-
ther injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the
cuff on other parts of the body.
