Dear Customer
• Important: Blood pressure measurement is not
suitable 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 pressure monitor in consultation with your
doctor. In certain cases the oscillometric measu-
ring 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
pressure 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.
