■ Do not use the blood pressure monitor on patients with pre-eclampsia
during pregnancy.
Important instructions on taking own blood pressure
■ Even minor changes in internal and external factors (such as deep
breathing, stimulants, talking, excitement, environmental factors) can
cause fluctuations in blood pressure. This explains why anomalous
values are often measured by a doctor or pharmacist.
■ Measurement results fundamentally depend on the measurement location
and the position of the patient (sitting, standing, reclining). They are also
influenced by e.g. physical activity and physiological preconditions of the
patient. For comparable values, carry out the measurement in the same
location and in the same position.
■ Cardiovascular disease can result in erroneous readings or lower the
accuracy of the measurement. The accuracy may also be affected if
you have very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders,
arrhythmias, and chills or tremors.
Consult your doctor before taking your own blood
pressure readings if ...
■ you are pregnant. Blood pressure may vary during pregnancy.
Regular blood pressure monitoring is particularly important if you
have high blood pressure, because elevated values may affect foetal
development. Always check with your doctor if and when you should
measure your own blood pressure, especially if you suffer from pre-
eclampsia.
■ you have diabetes, liver function disorders or narrowing of blood
vessels (e.g. atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease), as these may
cause anomalous values.
■ you have certain blood disorders (e.g. haemophilia) or severe
circulatory disorders or are taking blood-thinning medication.
■ you wear a pacemaker, which may cause anomalous values. The blood
pressure monitor itself does not affect a pacemaker. Please note that
the pulse rate displayed is not suitable for checking the frequency of
pacemakers.
■ you tend to bruise easily and/or are sensitive to pressure pain.
