Intended use
The BM 54 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 22-44 cm. 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.

- Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
- Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes.
- Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute between the individual measurements.
- Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
- The measurements 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).
