• If possible, always measure your blood pressure at the same time
of day for comparable results.
•
At least 30 minutes before you perform a measurement, do not
smoke, eat or drink and avoid physical exertion.
•
Give your circulatory system about five minutes to calm down
each time before you perform a measurement.
•
If the measurements are not plausible, repeat the measurement.
•
Wait at least five minutes before taking another measurement for
the same person.
• The results of your blood pressure measurements are for your
information and are no substitute for a medical examination. Do
not make any medical decisions based on your own
measurements (e.g. with respect to taking medication or their
dosage). Consult your physician if you have questions about the
measurements.
•
Do not use this blood pressure monitor to perform any
measurements on preeclampsia patients or newborn babies.
• Consult your physician before you use the blood pressure monitor
on pregnant persons.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor together with high-
frequency surgical devices.
•
Only use the device for persons with an upper arm circumference
between 22 and 35 cm (8.7 – 13.8 inch).
• The function of the affected body part may be impaired when
inflating the cuff.
•
The cuff hose may not be kinked, compressed or otherwise
restricted.

• Always measure your blood pressure on the same arm – ideally,
the left arm.
•
Do not use the cuff on limbs whose arteries or veins are
undergoing medical treatment e.g. in the form of intravascular
access, intravascular therapy or arteriovenous (A-V) shunt.
• Do not fit the cuff on persons, who have undergone a
mastectomy.
•
Please keep in mind that the restriction of circulation through the
inflation of the cuff may temporarily cause other measurement
devices connected to the same body part to temporarily
malfunction.
•
Avoid performing frequent measurements and prolonged
pressure in the cuff to prevent injury.
•
The blood pressure monitor is battery-operated. Data
transmission and data storage are only possible if the power
supply is intact. The blood pressure monitor will lose the date and
time if the batteries are empty or have been changed. However,
measurements that have been saved will remain intact.
•
To save battery power, automatic switch-off will automatically
switch the blood pressure monitor to sleep mode after more than
1 minute of key inactivity on the measurement computer.
The following illnesses or symptoms may result in incorrect
measurements or affect the measurement accuracy of the blood
pressure monitor:
•
Diseases of the cardiovascular system,
•
very low blood pressure,
•
diabetes,
