notes on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your
blood pressure at the same time of day.
• 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 measured
value.
• The measurements taken by you 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 blood pressure monitor on newborns or pa-
tients with preeclampsia. 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 ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as
chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people that have the specified upper
arm measurement for the unit.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circula-
tion 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 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 arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g.
intravascular access or intravascular or therapy, or an arte-
riovenous (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.
