Advice 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 after eat­
ing, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas­
ured value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measurements 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,
pregnant women or patients with preeclampsia.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a result
of chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vascu­
lar constriction), the accuracy of the wrist measurement is
limited. In this case you should avoid using an upper arm
blood pressure monitor.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure­
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement accu­
racy. 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 connec­
tion with a high­frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people who have the specified wrist
measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb
in question may be impaired.
