3. Intended use
The BM 49 upper arm blood pressure monitor is intended for home
use and serves as a non-invasive way of measuring and monitoring
arterial blood pressure and pulse values in adults with an upper arm
circumference of 22-36 cm.

4
As a result, you can quickly and easily measure your blood pressure and
pulse and view various average values from previous measurements.
The recorded measurements are classified and evaluated graphically.
A symbol in the display also warns of possible existing cardiac
arrhythmia.
4. Warnings and safety notes
Notes on use
•To ensure comparable values, always measure your blood pressure
at the same time of day.
•Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking,
smoking or exercising.
•Before the initial blood pressure measurement, always make sure to
rest for about 5 minutes!
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession,
make sure to always wait at least 1 minute between individual
measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
• The measured values taken by you are for your information only –
they are no substitute for a medical examination.
Discuss the measured values with your doctor and never base any
medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their dosages).
• This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with
restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience
and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person
who is responsible for their safety or are instructed by such a person in
how to use the device. Supervise children around the device to ensure
they do not play with it.
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home environment
or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car, ambulance or
helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical activity such as playing
sport) can influence the measurement accuracy and cause incorrect
measurements.
•Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or patients with
pre-eclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor before using the
blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
•Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements or
have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The same also
applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders
and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
•The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection with a
high-frequency surgical unit.
•Only use the device on people that have the upper arm circumference
specified for the device.
•Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in question
may be impaired.
•During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circulation must not
be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the device malfunctions
remove the cuff from the arm.
•Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of the cuff
line.
•Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent measurements.
The resulting restriction of the blood flow may cause injury.

5
•Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arteries
or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intravascular access
or intravascular therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
•Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mastectomy.
•Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further injury.
•Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff on other
parts of the body.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with batteries or with
the supplied mains part. Please note that data can only be transferred
and stored when your blood pressure monitor is supplied with power.
As soon as the batteries are empty or the mains part is disconnected
from the power supply, the blood pressure monitor loses the date
and time.
•To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor switches off
automatically if no buttons are pressed for 1 minute.
•The device is only intended for the purpose described in these
instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting
from improper or incorrect use.
Notes on storage
•The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and electronic
components. The accuracy of the measured values and service life
of the device depend on its careful handling:
– Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked temperature
fluctuations and direct sunlight.
– Do not drop the device.
– Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields
and keep it away from radio systems or mobile telephones.
– Only use the cuff included with the delivery or original replacement
cuffs. Otherwise, incorrect measured values will be recorded.
•We recommend that the batteries be removed if the device will not be
used for a prolonged period of time.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse the
affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke on
batteries. Therefore, store batteries out of the reach of small children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the battery
compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.
•Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
•If the device is not to be used for a relatively long period, take the
batteries out of the battery compartment.
•Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
•Do not use rechargeable batteries.
•Do not disassemble, split or crush the batteries.
Notes on electromagnetic compatibility
•The device is suitable for use in all environments listed in these
instructions for use, including domestic environments.
