• 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 dosages).
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home
environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travel-
ling in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst under-
taking physical activity such as playing sport) can
influence the measurement accuracy and cause incor-
rect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns
or patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend con-
sulting a doctor before using the blood pressure moni-
tor during pregnancy.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a
result of chronic or acute vascular diseases (includ-
ing vascular constriction), the accuracy of the wrist
measurement is limited. In this case you should use an
upper arm blood pressure monitor instead.
• This device is not intended for use by people (includ-
ing children) with restricted physical, sensory or men-
tal 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.
Supervise 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.
