Precautions

• These instructions and the device are no substitute for
visiting your doctor. Neither the information contained
here nor this device may be used to diagnose or treat
health problems or to prescribe medicines. If you have
a medical problem or suspect that you may have such a
problem, please seek immediate advice from your doctor.
• This device is not intended for infants, pregnant women,
patients with implanted electronic devices, patients with
pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular beats, atrial fibril-
lation, peripheral artery disease and patients who are
undergoing intravascular therapy or who have an arterio-
venous shunt, or persons who have had a mastectomy.
A doctor must be consulted prior to using the device on
any of the persons listed above, and the suitability of the
measuring method must be assessed. Geratherm Medi-
cal AG will not accept liability for any loss or damage that
may occur.
• The device is not intended for measuring blood pressure
in young children. Consult your doctor prior to using the
device on older children (minimum arm circumference
22cm).
• The device is not intended for the transportation of pa-
tients outside medical establishments.
• This device is intended for the non-invasive measuring
and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intend-
ed for use on other extremities than the arm or for any
other functions other than measuring blood pressure.
• This device is not suitable for continuous monitoring dur-
ing medical emergencies and surgery, since the circu-
lation of blood in the patient's arms and fingers will be
disrupted owing to a lack of blood. They may become
numb, swollen and even blueish-red.
• Do not mistake self-monitoring for self-diagnosis. This
device enables you to monitor your blood pressure. Do
not undertake any therapeutic measures on the basis of
measurements you have taken yourself.
