Advice on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure
your blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after
eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure
always to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in
succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute
between the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measu-
red value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a 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)!
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home
environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling
in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking
physical activity such as playing sport) can influence the
measurement accuracy and cause incorrect measure-
ments.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns,
pregnant women or patients with preeclampsia.
• 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

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.

• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circula-
tion must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time.
