• Relax for about 5 minutes before every measurement.
• Wait 5 minutes between successive measurements.
• The measurements you make yourself are only for your information – they
are no substitute for a medical examination! Discuss your readings with your
doctor and on no account make your own medical decisions (e.g. drugs and
their dosages).
• The accuracy of measurement is reduced if the circulation to an arm is re-
duced because of chronic or acute vascular disease (including narrowing of
blood vessels).
• Measuring errors can occur in diseases of the cardiovascular system, as
well as with very low blood pressure, irregular blood circulation and arrhyth-
mia and also in the case of other symptoms.
• The blood pressure computer consists of precision-made electronic compo-
nents. The measuring accuracy and life of the computer depend on the care
with which it is treated:
- Protect the computer from shocks and be careful not to drop it,
- Protect it against moisture, dirt, wide fluctuations in temperature and the
direct rays of the sun,
- Only ever use the cuffs provided with the monitor or original replacement
cuffs. Otherwise incorrect results will be recorded.
- To prevent any hazard as a result of the cuff tube, keep the tube out of
children's reach and never put it round your neck.
- Do not use it in areas where there are strong electromagnetic fields, i.e.
keep it away from transmitters and mobile phones.
• Do not press buttons without the cuff fitted.
• Use the appliance only on people with an upper arm circumference that
is within the range recommended for this appliance. As a rule, these are
adults.
• If the computer is not used for a lengthy period of time, it is advisable to
remove the batteries.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of children. Batteries do not belong in dome-
stic waste.
• Dispose of batteries at the appropriate collection points.
• Do not open the computer. Failure to comply invalidates the warranty. You
must not adjust or repair the computer yourself or its correct function will no
longer be guaranteed.
• This unit is in line with European Standard EN60601-1-2 and is subject to
particular precautions with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
