•
Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
•
The measurements taken by you are for your informa-
tion only – they are no substitute for a medical examina-
tion.
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 or
patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend consult-
ing a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor
during pregnancy.
•
In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a
result of chronic or acute vascular diseases (including
vascular constriction), the accuracy of the wrist meas-
urement is limited. In this case you should avoid using
an upper arm blood pressure monitor.
•
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect meas-
urements or have a detrimental eect on measurement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood
pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhyth-
mias as well as chills or shaking.
•
The blood pressure monitor must not be used in con-
nection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
•
Only use the unit on people who have the specified
wrist 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 cir-
culation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long
time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cu from
the arm.
•
Do not allow sustained pressure in the cu or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood
flow may cause injury.
•
Ensure that the cu is not placed on an arm in which
the arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment,
e.g. intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-
venous (AV) shunt.
•
Do not use the cu on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
•
Do not place the cu over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
•
The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
•
To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches o automatically if you do not press any but-
tons for 30seconds.
•
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.
