Intended Use; Warnings And Safety Notes - Beurer SR-BM788 Gebrauchsanweisung

3. Intended use

The SR-BM788 upper arm blood pressure monitor is intended for
home use and serves as a non-invasive way of measuring and
monitoring arterial blood pressure and pulse values in adults with
an upper arm circumference of 22-44 cm.
As a result, you can quickly and easily measure your blood pres-
sure and pulse and view various average values from previous
measurements. The recorded measurements are classified and
evaluated graphically. A symbol in the display also warns of pos-
sible existing cardiac arrhythmia.

4. Warnings and safety notes

Notes on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your
blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drin-
king, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure al-
ways to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in suc-
cession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute between
the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information only
– they are no substitute for a medical examination! Discuss the
measured values with your doctor and never base any medical
decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their dosages).
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home envi-
ronment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical activity
such as playing sport) can influence the measurement accuracy
and cause incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or patients
with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor before
using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements
or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The
same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circu-
latory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including child-
ren) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack
of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are su-
pervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or are
instructed by such a person in how to use the device. Supervise
children around the device to ensure they do not play with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people that have the upper arm circum-
ference specified for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the de-
vice malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
