• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measurements with your doctor, and never base
any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration)!
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home envi-
ronment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical ac-
tivity 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 preeclampsia. We recommend consulting
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as
chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including chil-
dren) 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 has responsibility for their safety
or they receive instructions from this person on how to use the
device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they do
not play with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified upper
arm 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 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.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas-
urements. 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. intra-
vascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with batteries
or with a mains part. Please note that data transfer and data
storage is only possible when your blood pressure monitor is
supplied with power. As soon as the batteries are empty or
the mains part is disconnected from the power supply, the
blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automati-
cally if no buttons are pressed for 3 minutes.
