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 measurement accuracy. The
same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circu-
latory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including chil-
dren) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack
of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are su-
pervised 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 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 circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the de-
vice 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.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arter-
ies or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intravascular
access or intravascular 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.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• 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 no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds.
• 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.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and electronic
components. The accuracy of the measured values and service
life of the device depend on its careful handling:
— Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
— Do not drop the device.
— Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromag-
netic fields and keep it away from radio systems or mobile
telephones.
