3. Intended Use

The BC 54 wrist blood pressure monitor is intended for
home use and serves as a non-invasive way of meas-
uring and monitoring arterial blood pressure values and
pulse rates in adults with a wrist circumference of 13.5
– 21.5 cm. As a result, you can quickly and easily meas-
ure your blood pressure and pulse and view various aver-
age 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 of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make
sure always to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements
in succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1
minute between the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your informa-
tion only – they are no substitute for a medical exami-
nation.
• Discuss the measurements with your doctor and never
base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines
and their administration).
• 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 meas-
urements.
