CAUTION! PRIOR TO USING THIS DEVICE
• This device can measure blood pressure in adults, 18 years and older (wrist circumference from approx. 14 to 19.5 cm). To
measure a child's blood pressure, consult your physician.
DO NOT use this device if you are affected by severe arrhytmias.
• Measuring your own blood pressure is a way of monitoring it and must not be considered a diagnosis or treatment.
Unusual readings must always be discussed with your physician. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
any medication prescribed by your physician.
• Consult your physician prior to using the device in the following cases:
• patients with heart pacemakers,
• patients with an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia),
• pregnant women,
• when applying the device on an arm wound or injury,
• when applying the device on a limb where there may be an intravascular access device or arteriovenous shunt (A-V),
• when applying the device on a person that has had a mastectomy or lymph node removal,
• when using the blood pressure monitor at the same time as other medical monitoring devices already being used on the
same limb,
• when undergoing dialysis treatment,
• when taking anticoagulants, antiplatelets or steroids,
• when blood circulation should be monitored.
• In the following cases, the reading may be lower or imprecise: arteriosclerosis, upper limb spasticity, low blood circulation,
cardiovascular system disorders, very low blood pressure, blood flow disorders, arrhythmias and other pre-pathological
conditions.
• The device may give inaccurate readings if it is used in temperatures or humidity levels outside the limits indicated in the
"Technical Specifications" paragraph.
Do not use near strong magnetic fields and therefore keep away (at least 30 cm) from radio or mobile phone systems (for
more information on interferences, see the paragraph "Electromagnetic compatibility").

CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS
Blood pressure varies from person to person, rising and falling in each individual every day. It tends to rise with age and also
depends on the individual's lifestyle. After each blood pressure reading, the values will be compared with the following table
prepared by the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations specialised health agency.
The segments on the left of the display indicate the classification of blood pressure readings
