Safety
2. Patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases perform the measurements as instructed by their physi-
cian. Under no circumstances should you change the dosage of any medication prescribed to you by your
physician!
3. For patients with arrhythmia, premature heart beats, atrial fibrillation, arteriosclerosis, hypoperfusion, di-
abetes, nephropathy, a weak pulse, pregnant patients or patients with significant fluctuations in their heart
rate, it may be difficult to measure the blood pressure exactly. Please consult a qualified physician to inter-
pret your blood pressure measurements.
4. For an accurate measurement, you must not speak while taking the measurement. The measurement
should be performed in peaceful surroundings and at room temperature. Refrain from eating or smoking
before taking a measurement. This device is equipped with a standard cuff, which can be used for arm sizes
of 4.92–8.07" (12.5–20.5 cm).
5. It is recommended to take repeat measurements at 3-minute intervals so that you can calculate the av-
erage for a more accurate overall measurement. Patients with arteriosclerosis may require longer intervals
between measurements (10–15 minutes) as the elasticity of vessels declines significantly as the disease pro-
gresses. Furthermore, 10–15 minutes is a suitable interval for patients with long-term diabetes.
