1. Getting to know your instrument

The wrist blood pressure monitor is used for non-invasive
measurement and monitoring of adults' arterial blood pres-
sure.
This allows you to quickly and easily measure your blood
pressure and to display the last recorded measurement.
A warning is issued for anyone suffering from cardiac ar-
rhythmia.
The values determined are classified and graphically evalu-
ated according to WHO guidelines.

2. Important information
Advice on use
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same 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 second
time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for informa-
tion purposes – they are not a substitute for a medical
examination! Discuss your results with the doctor. Never
use them to make medical decisions independently (e.g.
regarding medication and dosage thereof).
• If circulation on one arm is restricted as a result of chronic
or acute vascular disease (including vasoconstriction), 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.
• Only use the instrument on persons whose wrist has the
right circumference for the instrument.
