POINTS TO NOTE BEFORE USING THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT UNIT
CAUTION! Read the instructions carefully before using the device.
Please follow instructions carefully.
Do not use device near mobile phones and microwaves to avoid electromagnetic
disturbances.
• Blood pressure should be taken by a doctor or an expert who knows your medical history. By
making regular use of the blood pressure measuring unit and recording your readings, you
can keep your doctor informed of your blood pressure tendencies.
• Connect the tube with the appliance’s tube connector.
• Tie the sleeve securely around your upper arm. The sleeve should be at the same height as
your heart. If necessary, support the arm on a table by placing an object (e.g. a cushion)
underneath.
• The measuring instrument should not be moved or jostled during the measurement, because
this can lead to incorrect measurement of the blood pressure.
• Do the measurement in a quiet place and in a relaxed position without talking.
• Do not twist the seal around the sleeve of a jacket or a shirt, because it is not possible to get
an accurate measurement this way.
• Remember that the blood pressure fluctuates naturally during the daytime and other factors
such as smoking, drinking alcohol, bathing, taking medicine, and physical effort influence
blood pressure levels.
• The values of the blood pressure measurement available in this measuring appliance
correspond with the values of a trained specialist, who measures with a sleeve while listening
with a stethoscope. The measurement values are between the limit values which were
determined by the national standardization for electronic and automated
sphygmomanometers of the United States.
