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 measured value.
•The measured values 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 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 measurements 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 connection 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, the blood circulation 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 30 seconds.
•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 electromagnetic 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 values will be recorded.
•We recommend that the batteries be removed if the device 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.
