before taking a measurement. This could
cause bruises.
• Do not place the wrist cuff over heavy clothing
(e.g. a jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood
pressure monitor will not be able to take a
proper measurement and there is an elevated
danger of acquiring hematoma or skin marks
during the course of the measurement.

interrupt the measurement by pressing the
start/stop button

injuries.
• When applying the blood pressure monitor,
make sure there are no wrinkles in the cuff.

temporary marks on the skin at the site of
the cuff placement. This is especially the
case in high repetition rates, in hypertonic
patients and in patients with weak pulses. In
rare cases a mark may persist for a couple
of days. Please contact your physician about
these specific risks of cuff pressure in your
specific case.
