1.2. Important information about self-measurement

• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values
must always be discussed with your doctor. You should never alter the
dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.
• The pulse reading is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart
pacemakers!
• Clinical trials have shown that wrist measurements can reach similar
accuracy to upper arm measurements. However, some individuals may get a
different result between both methods. Therefore, we generally recommend
to compare the readings of this device to data obtained by your doctor.
• Make sure you keep the device at heart level during measurement to avoid a
user accuracy error.
Electromagnetic interference
The device contains sensitive electronic components. Therefore, avoid strong
electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile
telephones, microwave cookers). These can lead to temporary impairment of the
measuring accuracy.
