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 measured
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 envi-
ronment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical ac-
tivity such as playing sport) can influence the measurement
accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or pa-
tients with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor
before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. 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 connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified upper
arm measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
