Important

instructions to help you obtain meaningful readings

English

•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 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 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.
