Consult your doctor before measuring your
own blood pressure if ...
you are pregnant. Blood pressure may vary during pregnancy.
Regular blood pressure monitoring is particularly important
if you have high blood pressure because elevated values may
affect foetal development. Check with your doctor in any case to
find out if and when you should measure your own blood pres-
sure, especially if you suffer from pre-eclampsia.
you suffer from diabetes, liver disorders or congestion of
blood vessels (e.g. arteriosclerosis, peripheral arterial occlusive
disease) because anomalous measured values may occur in
such cases.
you suffer from certain blood diseases (e.g. haemophilia) or
severely impaired blood flow or if you take blood-thinning
drugs.
you wear a cardiac pacemaker because it may lead to anom-
alous measured values. The blood pressure monitor itself has
no impact on a cardiac pacemaker. Please note that the pulse
rate displayed is not suitable for checking the frequency of
cardiac pacemakers.
you tend to bruise easily and/or are sensitive to pressure pain.
you suffer from severe irregular heartbeat or cardiac arrhyth-
mias. Because of the oscillometric measurement method that
is used, in some cases incorrect measured values are obtained
or the blood pressure cannot be measured.
If this symbol appears often, it may indicate heart rhythm
disorders (arrhythmias). If this is the case, please consult your
doctor. Severe cardiac arrhythmias may sometimes produce
false measurements or lower the measurement accuracy.
Please discuss with your doctor whether taking your own
blood pressure readings is suitable for you.
The values measured by you are for your information only –
they are not a substitute for a medical examination! Discuss
your measured values with your doctor and under no circum-
stances should you make personal medical decisions based on
these measurements (e.g. medications and their dosages)!
Measuring your own blood pressure is not a substitute for
medical treatment! Do not interpret your measured values by
yourself and do not use them for self-prescribed treatment.
Take measurements based on the instructions of your doctor
and trust his or her diagnosis. Take medications as prescribed
by your doctor and never change the dose on your own.
Discuss the appropriate time to measure your blood pressure
with your doctor.
