These can be caused by an irregular heartbeat or un-
rest and disruptive movements during the measure-
ment. In each case, clarify all possible instances of
an irregular heartbeat with your doctor.

• Frequency of cardiac pacemakers

The display of pulse rate is not suitable for monitor-
ing the frequency of cardiac pacemakers.

• Pregnancy

Blood pressure levels can be different as a result of
pregnancy. Only perform blood pressure self-moni-
toring after consulting your doctor.

• Medicines

Never use this device without consulting your doctor
first if you are undergoing dialysis treatment or taking
anti-coagulant, anti-platelet medicines or steroids.
The use of a blood pressure monitor under such con-
ditions can cause internal bleeding (possibly causing
haematomas).

Important information

• Intravenous supply systems

Medical supply systems (e.g. infusions) may tempo-
rarily discontinue supply if the cuff is constricted.

• Unusual results

Any measurement is largely dependent on the
circumstances during the measuring procedure.
Before measurement people often fail to take time to
calm their circulation adequately, use incorrect cuff
sizes, they talk or move about during measurement.
See also the table of measuring errors and operating
errors on page 50. Check the situation yourself if
necessary. Have you met all the conditions? Take
time for measurement – you are monitoring your
health!
Self-measurement does not constitute treatment.
Never change of your own accord the dose of medici-
nes prescribed by your doctor.
