4. WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES
General warnings
 WARNING
• The measurements you take are for your information only –
they are not a substitute for a medical examination! Discuss
your measured values with your doctor and never make your
own medical decisions based on them (e.g. regarding medi-
cine doses).
• 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 incorrect use.
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home envi-
ronment or while on the move (e.g. while travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or while undertaking physical activity
such as playing sport) can influence the measurement accura-
cy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements
or have a detrimental e ect on measurement accuracy.
• Do not use the device at the same time as other medical elec-
trical devices (ME equipment). This could cause the measur-
ing device to malfunction and/or an inaccurate measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage and
operating conditions. This could lead to incorrect measure-
ments.
• Only use the cu s included in delivery or described in these
instructions for use with the device. Using a di erent cu may
lead to inaccurate measurements.
• Note that when inflating the cu , the functions of the limb af-
fected may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than neces-
sary. 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 de-
vice malfunctions, remove the cu from the arm.
• Place the cu on the upper arm only. Do not place the cu 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 packaging material away from children. There is a risk
of su ocation.
• 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.
• Do not use the device if you have metal implants.
• If you have any of the following conditions, it is essential you
consult your doctor before using the device: Cardiac arrhyth-
mia, circulatory disorders, diabetes, hypotension, chills, shiv-
ering
• To rule out a di erence between sides, the measurement
should initially be taken on both arms.
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.
