to produce significantly different results.
 Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in the
pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as these
situations are completely different.
 Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than just
one single measurement.
 Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
 If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure very
closely as it can change drastically during this time!
 If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements taken
with this device should only be evaluated after consultation with
your doctor.
 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency
of heart pacemakers!
