DESIGNATED USE This unit uses an oscillometric measurement method in order to measure systolic and di- astolic blood pressure, as well as the heart rate. The measurement is conducted on the wrist. All values can be read on an LCD screen. This unit has been developed for home use and should only be used by adults over 18 years of age with a wrist diameter between 13.5 and 19.5 cm.

PRECAUTIONS • It is recommended that you use the same wrist for each measurement (preferably the left) and take the measurement at about the same time every day. • Sit down comfortably with your elbows placed on the table and both feet on the ground. Please do not interlock your legs during the measurement.
PRECAUTIONS • Measuring too frequently may result in circulatory disorders, which can cause unpleas- ant sensations such as localised bleeding under the skin or temporary numbness in your arm. These symptoms do not usually last long. However, if you have not recov- ered after some time, please consult your doctor.
