Important safety
notes
TM
Failure to observe the following
warnings may result in death or serious injuries.
Consult your physician or pharmacist before starting
to measure your blood pressure.
Read and understand all instructions and warnings
before using this device.
Like any oscillometric blood pressure measurement
devices, certain medical conditions can affect the
measurement accuracy, among others:
– disorder of the cardiac rhythm
– very low blood pressure
– patients in shock
– patients with very low blood perfusion
– diabetes
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they
do not play with the device.
Cardiovascular system diseases may result in incorrect
measurements and/or impairments to the device‘s mea-
surement accuracy. This is also the case when it comes
to low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory problems
and dysrhythmia, as well as chills and shaking.
Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm whose
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, i.e.
intravascular access or intravascular therapy or an
arteriovenous (A-V) shunt.
Only place the cuff on the upper arm. Do not place the
cuff on other body parts.
Attention: The device may only be used in conjunction
with the original cuff provided.
Failure to observe the following
warnings may result in injuries or property
damage.
The device should not be used when your arm has been
wounded/injuried or when a catheter has been inserted.
Such use may result in injury.
Remove any kind of arm jewelry or the like before taking
a measurement. This could cause bruises.
Do not place the cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a jacket
or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor will not
be able to take a proper measurement and there is an
elevated danger of acquiring hematoma or skin marks
during the course of the measurement.
Do not inflate the cuff unless wrapped around arm.
Do not touch the unit, the tube and cuff and/or press
any buttons when measurement is in progress, except
for stopping the measurement. Doing so may cause
incorrect readings.
Blood circulation should not be restricted by the blood
pressure measurement for an unnecessary amount of
time. Remove the cuff from the arm if the device mal-
functions.
Avoid sustained pressure to the cuff, as well as frequent
measurements. The resulting curtailing of the blood flow
can lead to injuries.
Potential damage to the device! The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision components
and electronic components. The accuracy of the
measurements and the service life of the device
depend on the device being used with a due
amount of care:
The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument’s service life depend on careful handling.
Protect the unit against hard knocks (e.g. dropping the
unit), moisture, water, dirt, dust, chemicals, extreme hot
or cold temperatures, major temperature fluctuations,
direct exposure to sunlight and heat sources which are
too close (e.g. stoves, heating radiators). This may dam-
age the unit. The device must be stored in the specified
For consistency, always measure your blood pressure at
the same time each day.
Always wait at least 5 minutes before starting the initial
measurement to allow the blood circulation in your arm to
return to normal. You may need to increase the wait time
depending on your individual physiological characteris-
tics. Because of normal physiologic changes and the
many external factorressure, it is
unusual to obtain identical blood pressure measure-
ments, even when taken a few minutes apart. Speak
with your physician to deteryour
blood pressure and which variation may be seen as nor-
mal in your case.
When performing multiple measurements on an individ-
ual, wait at least one minute between each measure-
ment.
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising. You should not be physi-
cally tired or exhausted while taking measurement.
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the results.
Measurements are for your information only – they are
no 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 pre-eclampsia. Con-
sult your doctor before using the blood pressure moni-
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect mea-
surements or have a detrrement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood
pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhyth-
mias as well as chills or shaking.
For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pres-
sure, keeping long-term records is recommended.
To minimize measurement variations due to physical
activity, rest at least 5 minutes before measuring your
blood pressure (or 15 minutes after strenuous activity).
Stress raises blood pressure.
Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed environ-
ment at room temperature.

Evaluating measurements
Cardiac arrhythmia
This device can identify any potential cardiac arrhythmia
disorders and, if necessary, indicates this after the measurement process with the symbol
Arrhythmia is an illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal due to errors in the bioelectric system, which controls
the heartbeat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heartbeats, slow or rapid pulse) can stem from heart conditions,
age, physical predispositions, an excess of luxury foods,
stress or a lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed
by a doctor after a physical examination.
Repeat the measurement process if the symbol is
shown on the display after the measurement. Please make
sure that you rest for a minute before the measurement
and do not talk or move during it.
If the symbol is displayed repeat-
edly, contact your doctor. Self-diagnosis and self-treat-
ment on the basis of measurement results can be dangerous. Follow your doctor‘s instructions.
Risk indicator
In accordance with the guidelines / definitions provided by
the Joint National Committee (JNC) and the latest findings,
the measurement results can be classified and evaluated according to the following table:
It is important that you consult your doctor at regular intervals.
Your doctor will give you your particular values for normal
blood pressure as well as the value for when your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display and the scale on the device
state which range the blood pressure measured is in.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two
different JNC ranges (e.g. systolic in the Stage 1 Hypertension range and diastolic pressure in the normal range) the
graphic JNC classification on the unit indicates the higher
range (Stage 1 Hypertension in the example described).
