ENGLISH
1 | INTRODUCTION
You can measure your blood pressure quickly and easily
with the blood pressure computer, save the readings
and display the progress and average of the readings.
The computer is used for non-invasive measurement
and monitoring of your arterial blood pressure levels.
The computer complies with the requirements of the
European Directive for Medical Products, the German
Medical Product Act as well as the European standards
EN1060-1 (Non-invasive blood pressure measuring
devices Part 1: General requirements), EN1060-3 (Non-
invasive blood pressure measuring devices Part 3:
supplementary requirements for electromechanical
blood pressure measuring systems).
• Read the instruction manual carefully and
completely before using the appliance and keep
them for later use.
• Always measure your blood pressure at the same
time of day in order to ensure comparability of the
readings.
• Relax for about 5 minutes before each measurement!
• Wait 5 minutes between successive measurements!
• The measurements you make yourself are only for
your information – they are no substitute for a
medical examination! Discuss your readings with your
doctor and on no account make your own
medical decisions (e.g. drugs and their dosages)!
•The accuracy of measurement is reduced if the
circulation to an arm is reduced because of chronic
or acute vascular disease (including narrowing of
blood vessels).
• Measuring errors can occur in diseases of the
cardiovascular system, as well as with very low blood
pressure, irregular blood circulation and arrhythmia
and also in the case of other symptoms.
