General warnings

• 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 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 environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst trav-
elling in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical activity such as playing sport) can
influence the measurement accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements or have a detrimental effect on measure-
ment 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 measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage and operating conditions. This could lead to in-
correct measurements.

another cuff may lead to measurement inaccuracies.
• Please note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the limb in question may be impaired.

bruising may occur.
• 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.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff on other parts of the body.
