• When applying the cuff, make sure there are no
wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.

this device.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to
temporary marks on the skin at the site of the
cuff placement. This is especially the case in
high repetition rates, in hypertonic patients and in
patients with weak pulses. In rare cases a mark may
persist for a couple of days. Please contact your
physician about these specific risks of cuff pressure
in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for
the use by one person.
• 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
disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or

300 mmHg or maintained above 15mmHg for

your physician about possible causes affecting your
blood pressure.
• Do not inflate the cuff unless wrapped around wrist.
• Do not touch the unit and cuff and/or press any
buttons when measurement is in progress, except

of electromagnetic disturbances. This could result
