Notes on use
In order to ensure comparable values, always measure
your blood pressure at the same time of day.
Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
If you want to perform several measurements on the same
person, wait five minutes between each measurement.
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are no 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
environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling
in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking
physical activity such as playing sport) can influence the
measurement accuracy and cause incorrect measure-
ments.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or
patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a result
of chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vascu-
lar constriction), the accuracy of the wrist measurement is
limited. In this case you should avoid using an upper arm
blood pressure monitor.
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement accu-
racy. 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 connec-
tion with a high-frequency surgical unit.
Only use the unit 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.
