• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eat-
ing, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
measured value.
• The measured values taken by you are for your infor-
mation 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,
pregnant women or patients with pre-eclampsia.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a
result of chronic or acute vascular diseases (including
vascular constriction), the accuracy of the wrist meas-
urement is limited. In this case you should avoid using
an upper arm blood pressure monitor.
• This device is not intended for use by people (includ-
ing children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental
skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowl-
edge, unless they are supervised by a person who has
responsibility for their safety or they receive instruc-
tions from this person on how to use the device. Su-
pervise children around the device to ensure they do
not play with it.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect meas-
urements or have a detrimental effect on measurement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood
pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhyth-
mias as well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in con-
nection 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 the blood pressure measurement, the blood
circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time. If the device malfunctions remove the cuff
from the arm.
• 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
further injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
