[. . . ] Use the appliance for comparative measurements, particularly during sporting activities. Do NOT use the appliance for medical diagnosis. It can not replace medical intervention. Do not drop the appliance and do not place objects on top of it. [. . . ] You should pass on the values you measure to your doctor for analysis. Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from that measured at the upper arm. The values may be slightly different because of the different measurement positions and the strength of the blood vessels in the wrist and upper arm. In many cases, the difference for healthy people can be ±10 mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Do not take a measure within 30 minutes of physical activity or a change in the ambient temperature (e. The wrist sleeve should be attached to the left wrist. If it is not possible to take a measurement on the left wrist, use the right wrist. In this case, attach the sleeve with the Velcro fastening facing outwards. 5 10mm away from the palm of your left hand. Pull tight and wrap the sleeve around and up, so that there is no gap between the sleeve and your wrist. Use your thumb to hold the sleeve cover while you wrap it round. If the sleeve is not firmly attached the pressure will increase and the wrist will become numb. Correct measurement is then no longer possible. To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably and upright on a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax. Place your elbow on the table or other supporting surface, and hold your arm so that the wrist sleeve is at heart height. In doing so, support your lower arm on the storage case or on a folded towel or similar. If the blood pressure measuring device is not at the same level as your heart, the measurements may be incorrect. All indicators are displayed for a few seconds on the screen; then the screen shows the time and the most recently selected memory space. measurement starts automatically; the appliance inflates the sleeve. If the sleeve pressure is too low, the appliance stops measuring and inflates the sleeve again until sufficient sleeve pressure is reached for the measurement. Measurement starts when the correct sleeve pressure has been reached. initially , the display only shows the systolic value. [. . . ] The appliance inflates until it cannot detect the blood pressure. If it still detects blood pressure at the end of the inflate phase, it continues to inflate. The sleeve may need to be attached more tightly. Your blood pressure measuring device is wrapped in packaging to protect it against transportation damage. [. . . ]
