pressure, circulatory disorders, dysrhythmia and other
preexisting diseases.
• Any cuff related blood pressure measurement can, espe-
cially in high repetition rates, lead to severe measurement
side effects, e.g.
– a nerval compression with a temporary arm/hand pa-
ralysis,
– the release of an arterial or venous thrombus, which can
cause a life threatening situation.
Please contact your physician about the specific risks of
cuff blood pressure measurement in your specific case.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary skin
marks on the site of the cuff placement. This is especially
the case in high repetition rates, in hypertonic patients
and in patients with weak pulses. In rare cases a mark
may persist for a couple of days.
• Only use the instrument on persons whose wrist has the
right circumference for the instrument.
• You may only operate the blood pressure monitor with
batteries. Note that it is only possible to save data when
your blood pressure monitor is receiving power. As soon
as the batteries are dead, the date and time on the blood
pressure monitor are lost. Any measurement results that
have been stored are however retained.
• Never try to adapt or plug this device to the line AC. This
device is battery powered.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off auto-
matically if you do not press any buttons for 3 minutes.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision elec-
tronic components. Accuracy of readings and the instru-
ment’s service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture,
dirt, major temperature fluctuations and direct exposure
to the sun’s rays.
– Never drop the device.
– Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep
it away from any radio systems and mobile phones.
– Only ever use the cuffs provided with the monitor or
original replacement cuffs. Otherwise erroneous results
will be recorded.
• Do not press any buttons until the cuff is in position.
• If the instrument is not used for any length of time, we
recommend removing the batteries.
Advice on batteries
• Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should therefore
store the batteries and products where they are inaccessi-
ble to small children. If a battery has been swallowed, call
a doctor immediately.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated with any
other means, nor should they be taken apart, thrown in
the fire or short-circuited.
• Remove the batteries from the instrument if they are worn
out or if you are not going to use the instrument for any
