1. Introduction
1.1. Features of the STILY
The blood-pressure monitor STILY (with integrated time/date display) is a fully
automatic, digital blood-pressure measuring device for use on the upper arm,
which enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic
blood-pressure as well as the pulse frequency by way of the oscillometric meth-
od of measuring. The device offers a very high and clinical tested measurement
accuracy and has been designed to provide a maximum of user-friendliness.
The device is intended for self-use in home. Before using, please read through
this instruction manual carefully and then keep it in a safe place. For further
questions on the subject of blood-pressure and its measurement, please con-
tact your doctor.
Attention!
1.2. Important information about self-measurement
 Substitution of a different component might result in measurement error.
 Cuff is replaceable only by an original .
 Do not use with neonatal patients.
 Do not intend to use with pregnant or pre-eclamptic patients
 It will cause harmful injury to the patient or effect the blood pressure due
to connection tubing kinking.
 Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood
flow interference.
 The application of the cuff over a wound can cause further injury.
 The application of the cuff and its pressurization on any limb where in-
travascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, is present
because of temporary interference to blood flow and could result in injury
to the patient.
 Do not forget: self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treat-
ment. Unusual values must always be discussed with your doctor. Under
no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed
by your doctor.
 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart
pacemakers!
 In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
