• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the mea-
sured value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your informa-
tion only – they are not a substitute for a medical exa-
mination! 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
patients with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor dur-
ing pregnancy.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a
result of chronic or acute vascular diseases (inclu-
ding vascular constriction), the accuracy of the wrist
measurement is limited. In this case you should avoid
using an upper arm blood pressure monitor.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measu-
rements or have a detrimental effect on measurement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood
pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhyth-
mias as well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in con-
nection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people who have the specified
wrist measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circu-
lation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long
time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from
the arm.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood
flow may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which
the arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment,
e.g. intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriove-
nous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off
automatically if no buttons are pressed for one minute.
• 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 careless use.
