Intended use and contraindications
This device is intended to be used by adults (+18 years old) to measure
people’s blood pressure, that includes systolic, diastolic and heartbeat pulse
rate. This device is to be used for intermittent measurements only. For home
usage only.
This device has not been tested for and hence is not intended for neonatal and
infant subjects, pregnant, including pre-eclamptic users.
This blood pressure monitor is not intended for clinical use in a professional
environment and is for home usage only. The use of this blood pressure
monitor is not intended as a substitute for a consultation with your doctor.
What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises in the early
morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in
the afternoon and nally drops to a low level at night. It may vary in a short
period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can
uctuate.
This device will display your blood pressure reading referring to two values:
systolic and diastolic, through the principle of pressure oscillation. The systolic
blood pressure (the upper number) indicates how much pressure your blood is
exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats. The diastolic blood
pressure (the lower number) indicates how much pressure your blood is
exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats. The
pulse value is also displayed after each measurement.
Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce only provides a momentary value.
Repeated measurements at home better reect one’s actual blood pressure
values under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a dierent blood pressure when they measure at
home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s oce.
Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor
with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under
«everyday» conditions.
The ESH (European Society of Hypertension) and WHO (World Health
Organisation) have set up the following standard blood pressure values when
measured with a resting pulse at home:

Safety information and important
precautions
To ensure accurate measuring results, read the complete instructions for use
carefully. Measurement errors may occur if the original cu is not used.
People suering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis
in the extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their
doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves. Deviations in blood
pressure values may occur in such cases.
If your blood pressure reading is in the severe hypertension range with values
of 180 mmHg systolic and above, and/or 110 mmHg diastolic and above; and
you nd you have one or two readings in this range, please see your doctor
straight away.
If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult
your doctor rst.
Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing. Continuous cu
pressure due to the connection tubing kinking can aect blood ow and cause
possible injury to the user.
It is not recommedned to use this device on the arm of the same side of the
body on which the user had a mastectomy.
Measuring blood pressure too frequently can cause injury to the user due to
blood ow interference.
It is not recommended to apply the cu to a limb on which there is
intravascular access or on which an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt is present. This
can cause temporary interference of blood ow and potential injury to the
user.
DO NOT apply the cu over a wound as this can cause further injury.
It is not recommended to use the device while simultaneously using other
medical electrical (ME) equipment on the same limb.
