General warnings
• The measured values taken by you are for your informa-
tion only – they are no substitute for a medical examina-
tion. Discuss the measured values with your doctor and
never make your own medical decisions based on them
(e.g. regarding dosages of medicines).
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use.
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home en-
vironment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a
car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physi-
cal activity such as playing sport) can influence the meas-
urement accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement
accuracy.
• Do not use the device at the same time as other medical
electrical devices (ME equipment). This could lead to a
malfunction of the device and/or an inaccurate measure-
ment.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage
and operating conditions. This could lead to incorrect
measurements.
• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or cuffs described
in these instructions for use for the device. Using another
cuff may lead to measurement inaccuracies.
• Please note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of
the limb in question may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than nec-
essary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruising
may occur.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circu-
lation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time.
If the device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the
cuff on other parts of the body.
• Small parts may present a choking hazard for small
children if swallowed. They should therefore always be
supervised.
