• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home envi­
ronment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical ac­
tivity such as playing sport) can influence the measurement
accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills
or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their
safety or are instructed by such a person in how to use the
device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they
do not play with it.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns, preg­
nant women or patients with preeclampsia.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure­
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac­
curacy. 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 connection
with a high­frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified upper
arm measurement for the device.

• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas­
urements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may
cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. in­
travascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas­
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with bat­
teries.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automati­
cally if no buttons are pressed for 3 minutes.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper or careless use.

ic components. Accuracy of readings and the instrument's
