Important: Blood pressure measurement is not sui-
table in cases of serious arteriosclerosis (hardening
of the arteries).
The pulse display is not suitable for monitoring the
frequency of cardiac pacemakers.
If you suffer from disorders of heart rhythm, known
as arrythmia, you should only use this blood pres-
sure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In cer-
tain cases the oscillometric measuring method can
produce incorrect readings.
Pregnant women should only measure their own
blood pressure in consultation with their doctor,
since the readings may be changed by pregnancy.
You should avoid eating, drinking (alcohol), smoking
and sports before measuring your blood pressure,
as this could affect your blood pressure level.
Don’t
move, don’t speak while measurement is
being taken.
Make yourself comfortable in a chair and relax
before each reading.
We recommend that you monitor your blood pres-
sure twice a day, in the morning after getting up and
in the evening after work, or as advised by your
doctor.
Please remember: Self-measurement is not the
same as medical treatment!
You should never change the dose of medicines
prescribed by your doctor.
