• The unit is designed for auscultatory measurement of the systolic and diastolic
blood pressure on the upper arm.
• Blood-pressure measurements on children and pregnant women require
specialist knowledge! Please consult your doctor if you wish to measure the
blood pressure of a child or a pregnant woman.
• The unit does not have a pressure-limiting facility at 150 mmHg and must
therefore not be used on babies/infants!
• The supplied standard cuff is designed for an upper-arm circumference of 22-
32 cm. Special cuffs are available for larger and smaller arm circumferences
(Page EN-32).
• Do not under any circumstances place the cuff on or over any critical point,
e.g. wound, aneurysm, etc. Risk of injuries! The supply via an intravascular
access (infusion) could possibly be interrupted.
• Measuring your own blood pressure does not constitute treatment. Do not modify
of your own accord the dosage of drugs/medication prescribed by your doctor.
• Please refer to the chapter "Important instructions for use" (Page EN-24)
before conducting any measurements yourself.
• The unit may only be operated with original spare parts. The warranty will be
invalidated if the unit is damaged by non-approved accessories!
• The cuff may be inflated on the arm only.
• Please comply with the specified ambient conditions for measurement. See
Technical data, Page EN-30.
• Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It may fluctuate upwards or downwards by
more than 20 mmHg on patients within a few minutes.
