• Make sure the air hose is not kinked. A kinked air hose can
prevent the cuff from deflating and thereby interrupt the
blood flow in the arm for too long.
• In rare cases the cuff can cause bruises on the skin.
• Wait a few minutes between successive measurements,
otherwise the blood flow in the arm will be interrupted for
too long, which could result in injury.
• The unit contains small parts which could be swallowed by
children. It should therefore be kept out of the reach of chil-
dren at all times. The airhose poses a risk of strangulation.
Please follow instructions regarding the handling of cuff to
avoid such risk.
• Discuss the readings with your doctor. Do not assess them
on your own.
• Measuring your own blood pressure does not constitute
treatment. On no account modify of your own accord the
dosage of drugs/medication prescribed by your doctor.
• Please refer to the chapter "Important instructions for use"
(Page 43) before conducting any measurements yourself.
