Battery Handling Safety Precautions - Beurer BC 57 Mode D'emploi

• When performing multiple measurements on
an individual, wait five minutes between each
measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes
of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising. You
should not be physically tired or exhausted
while taking measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of
the results.

doctor and never base any medical decisions
on them (e.g. medicines and their administra-

• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on new-

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, circula-
tory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills
or shaking.
• For reliable monitoring and reference of blood
pressure, keeping long-term records is recom-
mended.
• To minimize measurement variations due to

measuring your blood pressure (or 15 minutes
after strenuous activity).
• Stress raises blood pressure.
• Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed
environment at room temperature.
