3. INTENDED USE
Intended Purpose
The blood pressure monitor (hereinafter, device) is intended
for the fully automatic, non-invasive measurement of arterial
blood pressure and pulse values on the upper arm.
It is designed for self-measurement by adults in a domestic
environment.
Intended Users
The blood pressure measurement is suitable for adult users
whose upper arm circumference is within the range printed
on the cuff.
Clinical benefits
The user can record their blood pressure and pulse values
quickly and easily using the device. The recorded values are
classified according to internationally applicable guidelines
and evaluated graphically. Furthermore, the device can de-
tect any irregular heart beats that occur during measurement
and inform the user via a symbol in the display. The device
saves the recorded measurements and can also output av-
erage values of previous measurements. The recorded data
can provide healthcare service providers with support during
the diagnosis and treatment of blood pressure problems, and
therefore it plays a part in the long-term monitoring of the
user's health.
Indications
In the event of hypertension or hypotension, the user can in-
dependently monitor their blood pressure and pulse values at
home. However, the user does not need to be suffering from
hypertension or arrhythmia in order to use the device.
Contraindications
 WARNING
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns,
children or pets.
• Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa-
bilities should be supervised by a person responsible for
their safety and receive instructions from that person on
how to use the device.
• Do not use the device if you are using electrical implants
(e.g. pacemakers).
• Do not use the device if you have metal implants.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
