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 specific 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 determine what will be suitable for
you.
• The 'irregular heartbeat' function is not designed
for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmic disorder.
Arrhythmia can only be ascertained by a licensed
physician.
• The WHO chart is not intended to replace a medical
diagnosis. This chart is only a reference for different
classifications of blood pressure.
• If you notice abnormal or suspicious variations in
blood pressure measurements, consult your physi-
cian 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.

sure monitor is free of damage. If in doubt, do not
