General warnings
 WARNING
• The measurements you take are for your information only –
they are not a substitute for a medical examination! Discuss
your measured values with your doctor and never make your
own medical decisions based on them (e.g. regarding medi-
cine doses).
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in these
instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
resulting from improper or incorrect use.
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home envi-
ronment or while on the move (e.g. while travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or while undertaking physical activity
such as playing sport) can influence the measurement accura-
cy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements
or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy.
• Do not use the device at the same time as other medical elec-
trical devices (ME equipment). This could cause the measur-
ing device to malfunction and/or an inaccurate measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage and op-
erating conditions. This could lead to incorrect measurements.
• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or described in these
instructions for use with the device. Using a different cuff may
lead to inaccurate measurements.
• Note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the limb af-
fected may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than neces-
sary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruising may
occur.
• Blood circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time during the blood pressure measurement. If the de-
vice malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Place the cuff on the upper arm only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.

sia, hypotension, chills, shaking
