«Section 4.»), measurements taken with this device should
be evaluated with your doctor.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
• If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
preeclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure again after 4 hours. If the
reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynaeco-
logist.
