Warnings And Safety Notes - Beurer BM 81 easyLock Gebrauchsanweisung

Target group
It is designed for self-measurement by adults in the home environment and is suitable for users whose upper
arm circumference is within the range printed on the cuff.
Indication/clinical benefits
The user can record their blood pressure and pulse values quickly and easily using the device. The recorded
values are classified according to internationally applicable guidelines and evaluated graphically. Furthermore,
the device can detect any irregular heart beats that occur during measurement and inform the user via a
symbol in the display. The device saves the recorded measurements and can also output average values of
previous measurements. The recorded data can provide healthcare service providers with support during the
diagnosis and treatment of blood pressure problems, and therefore plays a part in the long-term monitoring
of the user's health.
