• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home envi-
ronment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical acti-
vity such as playing sport) can influence the measurement
accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or pati-
ents with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor
before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including chil-
dren) 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 is responsible for their safety
or are instructed by such a person in how to use the device.
Supervise children around the device to ensure they do not
play with it.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a result of
chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vascular con-
striction), the accuracy of the wrist measurement is limited. In
this case you should avoid using an upper arm blood pres-
sure monitor.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements
or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The
same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circu-
latory 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.
• Only use the unit on people who have the specified wrist
measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas-
urements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may
cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intra-
vascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with bat-
teries.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automati-
cally if no buttons are pressed for one minute.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper or careless use.
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.
