Notes on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your
blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• If you want to perform several measurements on the same
person, wait five minutes between each measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drin-
king, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measured values taken by you are for your information
only – they are no substitute for a medical examination. Dis-
cuss the measured values with your doctor and never base
any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration).
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or pati-
ents with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor
before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement accura-
cy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabe-
tes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or
shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified upper
arm measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulati-
on must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow
may cause injury.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the ar-
teries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intravas-
cular access or intravascular therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV)
shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
