1. Getting to know your instrument
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 progression of
readings together with the average.
A warning is issued for anyone suffering from cardiac
arrhythmia.
The values determined are classified and graphically evalu-
ated according to WHO guidelines.
Additionally, this blood pressure monitor includes a haemo-
dynamic stability indicator, which will subsequently be
referred to as a resting indicator. This shows whether the
circulatory system is sufficiently at rest when taking a blood
pressure measurement and is therefore a more precise indi-
cator of your resting blood pressure. Read more about this
on p. 19 – 20.
Keep these instructions carefully for further use and also let
other users have access to them.
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 –10 minutes before each measurement.
• You should wait five minutes before measuring a second
time.
• The readings that you take may only be used for informa-
tion 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 vasoconstriction), 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
