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 meas-
ured 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).
• 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 or
patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a result
of chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vascu-
lar constriction), the accuracy of the wrist measurement is
limited. In this case you should avoid using an upper arm
blood pressure monitor.
• 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.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connec-
tion with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit 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.
