Caution – For Your Safety!
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of day in order to ensure comparability of the readings.
• Relax for about 5 minutes before every measurement!
• Wait 5 minutes between successive measurements!
• The measurements you make yourself are only for your information – they are no substitute for a medical
examination! Discuss your readings with your doctor and on no account make your own medical decisions
(e.g. drugs and their dosages)!
• The wrist measurement will be less accurate if an arm suffers from restricted blood circulation resulting from
chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vasoconstrictions). In this case, use a sphygmomano meter for
measurements on the upper arm.
• Measuring errors can occur in diseases of the cardiovascular system, as well as with very low blood pressure,
irregular blood circulation and arrhythmia and also in the case of other symptoms. The blood pressure com-
puter consists of precision-made electronic components. The measuring accuracy and life of the computer
depend on the care with which it is treated:
– Protect the computer from shocks and be careful not to drop it,
– protect it against moisture, dirt, wide fluctuations in temperature and the direct rays of the sun,
– do not use it in areas where there are strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it away from transmitters
and mobile phones.
• Do not press buttons without the cuff fitted.
• Use the computer only on persons for whose wrist size the computer is intended.
• If the computer is not used for a lengthy period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of children. Batteries do not belong in domestic waste.
• Dispose of batteries at the appropriate collection points.
