1. Familiarization
The wrist blood pressure monitor is used for non-
invasive measurement and monitoring of adults’ arterial
blood pressure.
You can use it to measure your blood pressure quickly
and easily, storing the results and displaying the pro-
gression of readings together with the average.
2. Important information
Advice on use
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same time
of day, in order to ensure that values are comparable.
• Relax for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
• You should wait five minutes before measuring a sec-
ond time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for in-
formation purposes – they are not a substitute for a
medical examination! Discuss your results with the
doctor. Never use them to make medical decisions
independently (e.g. regarding medication and dosage
thereof).
• If circulation on one arm is restricted as a result of
chronic or acute vascular disease (including vasocon-
striction), the precision of any wrist measurement is
impaired. In this case, use a blood pressure monitor
for the upper arm.
• There may be incorrect measurements where there
is cardiocirculatory disease, as well as with very low
blood pressure, circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia
and other preexisting diseases.
