Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession, make sure always to wait
for at least 1 minute between the individual measurements.
•
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
•
The measurements 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 med-
ical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their administration).
•
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or patients with preeclampsia. We recom-
mend 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 unit on people that have the specified upper arm measurement for the unit.
•
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 un-
necessarily 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 med-
ical 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 cu on your upper arm only. Do not place the cu on other parts of the body.
•
The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with batteries. Please note that data transfer
and data storage is only possible when your blood pressure monitor is supplied with power. As
soon as the batteries are empty, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
•
To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor switches off automatically if you do not
press any buttons for two minutes.
