WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or serious personal injury:
• For consistency, always measure your blood pressure
at the same time each day.
• Before each measurement, relax for about five
minutes.
• When performing multiple measurements on
an individual, wait one minute between each
measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of
eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
results.
• Measurements are for your information only – they are
no substitute for a medical examination. Discuss the
measurements with your doctor and never base any
medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
ad- ministration).
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your
home environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst
travelling in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst
undertaking physical activity such as playing sport)
can influence the measurement accuracy and cause
incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns
or patients with pre-eclampsia. Consult your doctor
before using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
• 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 shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people
(including children) with restricted physical, sensory
or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack
of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person
who is responsible for their safety or are instructed
by such a person in how to use the device. Supervise
children around the device to ensure they do not play
with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in
connection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified
upper arm measurement for the device.
