General warnings
• The measured values taken by you are for your information
only – they are no substitute for a medical examination. Dis-
cuss the measured values with your doctor and never make
your own medical decisions based on them (e.g. regarding
dosages of medicines).
• 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 incorrect use.
• 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 ac-
tivity such as playing sport) can influence the measurement
accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements
or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy.
• Do not use the device at the same time as other medical elec-
trical devices (ME equipment). This could lead to a malfunc-
tion of the device and/or an inaccurate measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage and
operating conditions. This could lead to incorrect measure-
ments.
• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or cuffs described in
these instructions for use for the device. Using another cuff
may lead to measurement inaccuracies.
• Please note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than neces-
sary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruising may
occur.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circula-
tion must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• The air line poses a risk of strangulation for small children.
Furthermore, included small parts pose a risk of suffocation
for small children if swallowed. They should therefore always
be supervised.
General precautions
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and elec-
tronic components. The accuracy of the measurements and
service life of the device depend on its careful handling.
• Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked tem-
perature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring.
If the measuring device has been stored close to the maxi-
mum or minimum storage and transport temperatures and is
placed in an environment with a temperature of 20 °C, it is
recommended that you wait approx. 2 hours before using the
measuring device.
• Do not drop the device.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromag-
netic fields and keep it away from radio systems or mobile
telephones.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the device is
not to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
