Advice on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your
blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• If you want to perform several measurements on the same
person, wait five minutes between each measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measurements with your doctor, and never base
any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration)!
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or pa-
tients with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor
before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
