measurements with your doctor, and never base any medical deci-
sions 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 vascular constric-
tion), 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 measurements or
have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The same
also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory dis-
orders 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 unit on people who have the specified wrist measure-
ment for the device.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including children)
with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of expe-
rience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by
a person who has responsibility for their safety or they receive
instructions from this person on how to use the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in ques-
tion may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation must
not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the device mal-
functions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent measure-
ments. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arter-
ies or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intravascular
access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further injury.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with batteries.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automatically if
no buttons are pressed for one minute.
• 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.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision electronic
components. Accuracy of readings and the instrument's service
life depend on careful hand ling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture, dirt, major
temperature fluctuations and direct exposure to the sun's rays.
– Never drop the device.
