• If you have any of the following conditions, it is essential you
consult your doctor before using the device: Cardiac arrhyth-
mia, circulatory problems, diabetes, pregnancy, pre-eclampsia,
hypotension, chills, shaking.
• Do not use the device at the same time as other medical elec-
trical devices (ME equipment). This could cause the measuring
device to malfunction and/or an inaccurate measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage and op-
erating conditions. This could lead to incorrect measurements.
• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or described in these
instructions for use with the device. Using a different cuff may
lead to inaccurate measurements.
• Note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the limb af-
fected may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than necessary.
Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruising may occur.
• Blood circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time during the blood pressure measurement. If the device
malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Place the cuff on the upper arm only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.
• The air line poses a risk of strangulation for small children.
• Small parts may present a choking hazard for small children if
swallowed. They should therefore always be supervised.
• Keep children away from the packaging material. Risk of suf-
focation.
• Keep away from children, pets and pests.
• Do not drop, step on or shake the device.
• Do not disassemble the device as this may cause damage,
faults and malfunctions.
• Do not modify the device.
• To rule out a difference between sides, the measurement
should initially be taken on both arms.
• Never operate the device during maintenance work. Mainte-
nance work includes maintenance, inspection and repair.
• Use a mains connection that is easily accessible so that the
mains plug can be removed quickly if necessary.
General precautions
CAUTION
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and elec-
tronic components. The accuracy of the measurements and
service life of the device depend on its careful handling.
• Protect the device and its mains adapter from impacts, hu-
midity, dirt, major temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before taking a meas-
urement. If the measuring device has been stored close to the
maximum or minimum storage and transport temperatures and
is placed in an environment with a temperature of 20 °C, it is
recommended that you wait approx. 2 hours before using the
measuring device.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromag-
netic fields and keep it away from radio systems or mobile
telephones.
• We recommend removing the batteries if the device is not go-
ing to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
