3. Intended use
The BM 51 easyClip upper arm blood pressure monitor is
intended for home use and serves as a non-invasive way
of measuring and monitoring arterial blood pressure values
and pulse rates in adults with an upper arm circumference
of 22–42 cm. As a result, you can quickly and easily measure
your blood pressure and pulse and view various average values
from previous measurements. The recorded measurements are
classified and evaluated graphically. A symbol in the display
also warns of possible existing cardiac arrhythmia.
4. Warnings and safety notes
Notes on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your
blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes after eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, always make
sure to rest for about 5 minutes!
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements
in succession, make sure to always wait at least 1 minute
between individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are not a substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measured values with your doctor and never
base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and
their dosages).
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home
environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling
in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking
physical activity such as playing sport) can influence the
measurement accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or
patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or
a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they
are supervised by a person who has responsibility for their
safety or they receive instructions from this person on how
to use the device. Supervise children around the device to
ensure they do not play with it.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as
chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
