Notes 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 of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
•
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
•
The measured values taken by you are for your informa-
tion 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 administration).
•
Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home
environment 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 pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
•
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as
chills or shaking.
•
This device is not intended for use by people (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills
or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised 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 connec-
tion with a high-frequency surgical unit.
•
Only use the device on people who have the specified up-
per 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, the blood circu-
lation 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 bending
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.
•
Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which
the arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment,
e.g. intravascular access or intravascular or therapy, or an
arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
•
Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
•
Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
•
Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the
cuff on other parts of the body.
•
The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
•
To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any buttons
for 30seconds.
•
The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper or careless use.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
•
The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measured
values and service life of the device depend on its careful
handling:
– Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
– Do not drop the device.
– Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electro-
magnetic fields and keep it away from radio systems or
mobile telephones.
– Only use the cuff included with the delivery or original
replacement parts. Otherwise incorrect measured val-
ues will be recorded.
•
We recommend that the batteries be removed if the de-
vice will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
Notes on handling batteries
•
If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid,
rinse the affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
•
Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and
choke on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of
small children.
•
Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
