4. Warnings and safety notes

Notes on use
• To ensure comparable values, always measure your blood pressure
at the same time of day.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking,
smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, always make sure to
rest for about 5 minutes!
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession,
make sure to always wait at least 1 minute between individual
measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
• The measured values taken by you are for your information only –
they are no substitute for a medical examination.
Discuss the measured values with your doctor and never base any
medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their dosages).
• This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with
restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience
and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person
who is responsible for their safety or are instructed by such a person in
how to use the device. Supervise children around the device to ensure
they do not play with it.
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home environment
or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car, ambulance or
helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical activity such as playing
sport) can influence the measurement accuracy and cause incorrect
measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or patients with
pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor before using the
blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements or
have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The same also
applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders
and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection with a
high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people that have the upper arm circumference
specified for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in question
may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulation must not
be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the device malfunctions
remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of the cuff
line.
