1. Getting to know your instrument

The upper arm blood pressure monitor is used for non-invasive
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 progression 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.
eNGlIsh
• You should wait five minutes before measuring a second
time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for information
purposes – they are not a substitute for a medical examina-
tion! Discuss your results with the doctor. Never use them
to make medical decisions independently (e.g. regarding
medication and dosage thereof).
• There may be incorrect measurements where there is cardio-
circulatory disease, as well as with very low blood pressure,
circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia and other preexisting
diseases.
• Only use the instrument on persons whose upper arm has
the right circumference for the instrument.
• You can operate the blood pressure monitor with both bat-
teries and mains. Note that it is only possible to save data
when your blood pressure monitor is receiving power. As
soon as the batteries wear out or you disconnect the mains
adapter from the mains, the blood-pressure instrument loses
the date and time.
• The automatic switch-off function switches off the blood
pressure monitor in order to preserve the batteries, if no but-
ton is pressed within one minute.
storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision elec-
tronic components. Accuracy of readings and the instru-
ment's service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture, dirt,
major temperature fluctuations and direct exposure to the
sun's rays.
