3. INTENDED USE
Intented 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 en-
vironment.
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 detect any irregular heart
beats that occur during measurement and inform the user via a
symbol in the display. The device saves the recorded measure-
ments and can also output average values of previous measure-
ments. The recorded data can provide healthcare service pro-
viders 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 inde-
pendently monitor their blood pressure and pulse values at home.
However, the user does not need to be suffering from hyperten-
sion or arrhythmia in order to use the device.
Contraindications

shunt.
