particularly during sporting activities. Do NOT use the unit for medical diagnosis. It can
not replace medical intervention.

• The unit is battery-operated. Batteries may endanger life if swallowed. For these reasons,
keep the unit out of reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, please obtain immediate
medical assistance.

ABOUT THIS DEVICE

The device is used to measure blood pressure at the wrist. It is suitable for healthy people above
12 years of age and can be use to make comparative measurements – especially during
sporting activities.

If the values obtained give you cause to be concerned about your
health, take medical advice. Do not change your treatment/dosage of
medication as a result of the values unless you have discussed this
with your doctor!

When interpreting the values measured, please note that there can be differences in the values
measured at the wrist and arm. However, because the values measured at the upper arm and
wrist undergo the same changes the values measured at the wrist can be used for comparative
measurements.

The blood pressure measurement device displays blood pressure (systolic and diastolic values),
pulse, date and time. The following summary can help you to assess the values you measure:

The classification of blood pressure values is based on a definition and classification by the
WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION from 1999. The WHO defines high blood pressure as
values above 140 mmHg (systolic value) and 90 mmHg (diastolic value).
