Instructions for application
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of day to guarantee comparable values.
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
• Always wait 5 minutes between two measurements!
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Please repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information only – they are no substitute for a medical examination!
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, pregnant women and patients with preeclampsia.
• Erroneous measurements or interference with the measurement accuracy of the unit can arise from diseases
of the cardiovascular circulation system, just as from very low blood pressure, diabetes, blood circulation and
arrhythmias as well as from chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people that have the specified upper arm measurement for the unit.
• Please note that pumping up the cuff can sometimes lead to impairment of the function of the limb concerned.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long
time. If the device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or sharp bending of the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent measurements, as the resulting restriction of the blood
flow may cause injury.
