Important instructions for use

• Refrain from drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages and smoking at least
one hour before measuring.
• Please rest at least 5 minutes before measuring. Depending on the previous
degree of stress/exertion, this can even require up to one hour.
• Expose the upper arm, the clothes must not impair the blood flow in or from the
arm as this influences the blood pressure at the measurement point.
• Body posture must be relaxed:
– For this purpose, sit at a table (if possible the height of a dining table, not
a coffee table!).
Rest your back against the backrest of the chair.
–
– Lay down your lower arm completely. Make sure the palm of your hand is facing
– Place your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
• There should be no irregular heartbeats during the measurement! Irregular
movements, vibrations, speaking, and breathing heavily will also affect the
measurement. Listen out for regular pulse beep signals during measurement;
if necessary, repeat the measurement in improved conditions.
• Resting during the measurement is absolutely essential! Talking or moving
as well as strong irregular heartbeats will affect the measurement result, the
values becoming too high.
• Unusual measurement results are possible with all automatically measur-
ing blood pressure measurement systems from time to time. Check yourself:
did you comply with the instructions for use above? If necessary, repeat the
measurement after allowing the blood circulation in the arm to recuperate
briefly; rest for about 3-5 minutes for this purpose. Tip: Remain seated, your
monitor will switch off automatically about 3 minutes after a measurement.
Afterwards, we recommend that you repeat the measurement.
