Advice on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure
your blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• If you want to perform several measurements on the same
person, wait five minutes between each measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eat-
ing, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measurements with your doctor, and never
base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and
their administration)!
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns,
pregnant women or patients with preeclampsia.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pres-
sure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as
well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connec-
tion with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified
upper arm measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb
in question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circula-
tion must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time.
If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bend-
ing of the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow
may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g.
intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV)
shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
