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 or patients with
pre-eclampsia. Consult your doctor before
using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
• 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, circulatory
disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or
shaking.
• For reliable monitoring and reference of
blood pressure, keeping long-term records is
recommended.
• To minimize measurement variations due to
physical activity, rest at least 5 minutes before
measuring your blood pressure (or 15 minutes
after strenuous activity).
• Stress raises blood pressure.
• Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed
environment at room temperature.
• 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.
Battery Handling Safety Precautions
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when
installing the batteries. Reversed batteries may
cause damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together
(e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc or rechargeable
batteries) or old batteries with fresh ones.
Always replace batteries as a simultaneous set.
• If the batteries in the device are depleted or
the device will not be used for a long period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage
or injury from possible battery leakage.
