1. Getting to know your instrument

The wrist blood pressure monitor is used for non-in-
vasive measurement and monitoring of adults' arterial
blood pressure.
You can use it to measure your blood pressure
quickly and easily, storing the results and displaying
the progression of readings.
2. Important information
Advice on use
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same
time of day, in order to ensure that values are com-
parable.
• Relax for approx. 5 minutes before each measure-
ment.
• You should wait five minutes before measuring a
second time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for
information purposes – they are not a substitute
for a medical examination! Discuss your results
with the doctor. Never use them to make medical
decisions independently (e.g. regarding medication
and dosage thereof).
• If circulation on one arm is restricted as a result of
chronic or acute vascular disease (including vaso-
constriction), the precision of any wrist measure-
ment is impaired. In this case, use a blood pressure
monitor for the upper arm.
• There may be incorrect measurements where there
is cardiocirculatory disease, as well as with very
low blood pressure, circulatory disorders, dys-
rhythmia and other preexisting diseases.
• Only use the instrument on persons whose wrist
has the right circumference for the instrument.
• You may only operate the blood pressure monitor
with batteries. Note that it is only possible to save
data when your blood pressure monitor is receiving
power. As soon as the batteries are dead, the date
and time on the blood pressure monitor are lost.
Any measurement results that have been stored
are however retained.
• The automatic switch-off function switches off
the blood pressure monitor in order to preserve
the batteries, if no button is pressed within one
minute.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and
