Precautions

• This manual and the product are not substitutes for
consulting a physician. Neither the information con-
tained herein nor this product may be used to diag-
nose or treat health problems, or to prescribe drugs. If
you have or suspect that you have a medical problem,
please seek immediate advice from your physician.
• Please ask your physician before using the device
on pregnant women, patients with implanted, electri-
cal devices, patients with pre-eclampsia, premature
ventricular beats, atrial fibrillation, peripheral, arterial
disease and patients undergoing intravascular therapy
or arterio-venous shunt or people who received a mas-
tectomy. Please consult your physician prior to using
the unit if you suffer from any of these illnesses.
• Wait 30 to 45 minutes, before taking a measurement if
you have just had a caffeinated drink or a cigarette.
• Relax for at least 5 to 10 minutes before taking a meas-
urement.
• Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of
a self-measurement. Never alter the dose of a medi-
cine prescribed by a physician. Consult your physician
if you have any questions about your blood pressure.
• Please keep the unit out of reach of infants, children
EN
or pets, since inhalation or swallowing of small parts is
dangerous or even fatal.
• This device is intended for non-invasive measuring
and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not
intended for use on extremities other than arm or for
functions other than obtaining a blood pressure meas-
urement.
• If you experience discomfort during a measurement,
such as pain in the arm or other complaints, press the
"START" button to release the air immediately from the
cuff. Loosen the cuff and remove it from your arm.
• On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to re-
main fully inflated during measurement, open the cuff
immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure
• >300 mmHg or constant pressure >15 mmHg for more
than 3 minutes) applied to the arm may lead to an ec-
chymosis.
• Too frequent and consecutive measurements could
cause disturbances in blood circulation and injuries.
