• Electrocardiograms recorded using the ECG measuring device show the heart's function at the time
of the measurement. As such, any changes occurring before or after the measurement is taken may
not necessarily be detected.
• ECG measurements, such as those taken with the ECG measuring device, cannot identify all heart
diseases. Regardless of the measurement taken, you should consult your doctor immediately if you
experience symptoms that could indicate acute heart disease. Such symptoms could include (but
are not limited to):
- pain or pressure on the left of the chest area or abdomen,
- radiating pain in the area of the mouth/jaw/face, or in the shoulders, arm or hands,
- back pain,
- nausea,
- burning sensation in the chest,
- tendency to collapse,
- breathlessness,
- rapid heartbeat or irregular heart rhythm
- or, in particular, a combination of these symptoms.
• ALWAYS consult a doctor IMMEDIATELY if you experience any of these symptoms. If you have any
doubts, seek an emergency medical examination.
• Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of the measurement without consulting your
doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change the type and/or dosage of
any existing medication without prior approval.
• The ECG measuring device is not a substitute for a medical examination of your heart function or for
medical electrocardiogram recordings, which require more complex measurements.
• It is not possible to use the ECG measuring device to diagnose illnesses or diseases that may be
causing an ECG change. This is exclusively the responsibility of your doctor.
• We recommend that you record the ECG curves and provide them to your doctor if required. This ap-
plies in particular if the status messages of the ECG measuring device do not show the "OK" symbol.

low the advice given by your doctor, if applicable.
