Beurer ME80 - Handbuch (Seite 28)

• ECG measurements, such as those taken with the ME80, cannot identify all heart dis-
eases. Regardless of the measurement taken using the ME80, you should consult your
doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that could indicate acute heart disease.
Such symptoms could include, but are not limited to:
- Pain or pressure on the left of the chest area or abdomen
- Radiating pain in the area of the mouth/jaw/face, or in the shoulders, arm or hands
- Back pain
- Nausea
- Heartburn
- Tendency to collapse
- Shortness of breath
- Heart palpitations or an irregular heart rhythm
- Or, in particular, a combination of these symptoms.
ALWAYS consult a doctor IMMEDIATELY if you experience any of these symptoms. If you
have any doubts, seek an emergency medical examination.
• Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of the ME80 measurements without
consulting your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change
the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.
• The ME80 device is not a substitute for a medical examination of your heart function or for
medical electrocardiogram recordings, which require more complex measurements.
• It is not possible to use the ME80 device to diagnose illnesses or diseases that may be
causing an ECG change. This is exclusively the responsibility of your doctor.
• We recommend that you record the ECG curves and provide them to your doctor if
required. This applies in particular if the status messages of the ME80 do not show the
“OK” symbol.
Important safety notes
We recommend against using the device if you have a pacemaker or other implanted de-
vices. Follow the advice given by your doctor, if applicable.
• Do not use the device with a defibrillator.
• Do not use the device during an MRT examination.
• Do not expose the device to static electricity. Always ensure that you are free of static
electricity before operating the device. *
