• 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.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in
which the arteries or veins are undergoing medical
treatment, e.g. intravascular access or intravascular or
therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any but-
tons for one minute.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper or careless use.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from preci-
sion and electronic components. The accuracy of the
measured values and service life of the device depend
on its careful handling:
– Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt,
marked temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
– Do not drop the device.
– Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong elec-
tromagnetic fields and keep it away from radio sys-
tems or mobile telephones.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the
device will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
