1. Getting to know your instrument

The wrist blood pressure monitor is used for non-invasi-
ve measurement and monitoring of adults' arterial blood
pressure.
You can use it to measure your blood pressure quickly
and easily, storing the results and displaying the pro-
gression of readings together with the average.
A warning is issued for anyone suffering from cardiac
arrhythmia.
The values determined are classified and graphically
evaluated according to WHO guidelines.

Keep these instructions carefully for further use and also
let other users have access to them.
2. Important information
Advice on use
• Always measure your blood pressure at the sam time
of day, in order to ensure that values are comparable.
• Relax for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
• You should wait five minutes before measuring a se-
cond time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for infor-
mation purposes – they are not a substitute for a medi-
cal examination! Discuss your results with the doctor.
Never use them to make medical decisions indepen-
dently (e.g. regarding medication and dosage thereof).
• If circulation on one arm is restricted as a result of
chronic or acute vascular disease (including vasocon-
striction), the precision of any wrist measurement is
impaired. In this case, use a blood pressure monitor
for the upper arm.
• There may be incorrect measurements where there
is cardiocirculatory disease, as well as with very low
blood pressure, circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia and
other preexisting diseases.
