1. Getting to know your instrument

The upper arm blood pressure monitor is used for non-in-
vasive measurement and monitoring of adults' arterial blood
pressure.
You can use it to measure your blood pressure quickly and
easily, storing the results and displaying the progression of
readings.
A warning is issued for anyone suffering from cardiac
arrhythmia.
The values determined are classified and graphically evalu-
ated according to WHO guidelines.
Keep these instructions carefully for further use and also let
other users have access to them.
2. Important information
Advice on use
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of
day, in order to ensure that values are comparable.
• Relax for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
• You should wait five minutes before measuring a second
time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for information
purposes – they are not a substitute for a medical examina-
ENGLISH
tion! Discuss your results with the doctor. Never use them
to make medical decisions independently (e.g. regarding
medication and dosage thereof).
• There may be incorrect measurements where there is car-
diocirculatory disease, as well as with very low blood pres-
sure, circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia and other preexist-
ing diseases.
• Only use the instrument on persons whose upper arm has
the right circumference for the instrument.
• You may only operate the blood pressure monitor with bat-
teries. Note that it is only possible to save data when your
blood pressure monitor is receiving power. As soon as the
batteries are dead, the date and time on the blood pres-
sure monitor are lost. Any measurement results that have
been stored are however retained.
• The automatic switch-off function switches off the blood
pressure monitor in order to preserve the batteries, if no
button is pressed within one minute.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision elec-
tronic components. Accuracy of readings and the instru-
ment's service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture, dirt,
major temperature fluctuations and direct exposure to the
sun's rays.
